Description
John Mayall`s Bluesbreakers LP: Bare Wires. 1968 UK stereo first pressing EXPORT copy on the UNBOXED DECCA label. Cat No: SKL 4945. 1W; 1W matrix numbers of vinyl run off. Laminated single sleeve has a couple of very small laminate edge creases. Sleeve graded EX+/NEAR MINT. Vinyl has clean labels and no spindle wear. When held at an angle to a bright light, there are no visible surface marks. Only a couple of instances of barely audible background. Superb playback. Vinyl graded EX+NEAR MINT. Complete with EXPORT inner lyric sheet. Inner graded NEAR MINT. Nice copy. I have found the following information regarding this release; this item meeting the exact description:
THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED DOMESTICALLY IN THE UK WITH A STANDARD GATEFOLD COVER & UNBOXED DECCA LABEL. HOWEVER - A TINY HANDFUL WERE PRESSED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FOR EXPORT ONLY!!!! INCREDIBLY, THIS LP HAS A 'SINGLE SLEEVE' LAMINATED COVER, AND A 'LYRIC/CREDITS' INSERT - WHICH WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR EXPORT ONLY!!!! AND IT IS VERY EASY TO PROVE THIS - AND ALSO VERIFY THE AGE OF THIS LP!!!! THIS LP HAS NO 'MONO/STEREO' BOX ON THE COVER BACK (LATER ONES FROM 1969/70 DID!), HAS 1ST PRESS 1W/1W MATRIX ENDINGS (LATER ONES DONT!), 1ST PRESS 'UNBOXED' DECCA LABEL (LATER ONES FROM LATE 1969 ONWARDS DONT!), 1ST PRESS 'LARGE' LABEL TEXT (LATER ONES DONT!), AND 1ST PRESS 'JT' LABEL TAX CODING (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ON THE INSERT - IT HAS 'ALL COUNTRIES' TEXT - WHICH IS ANOTHER INDICATOR THAT THIS LP WAS MEANT FOR 'EXPORT ONLY'
Due to suspected fraudulent activity, I do not sell items to Russia and the Ukraine. Apologies to the rest of the decent folks there.
All records graded as per Record Collector`s Grading System.
