Description

An original and VERY 1st genuine press of CARNEGIE on UK CBS. Be careful on this title - many copies will LOOK like "1st press" - but many will not actually be true. For starters the copy must be Philips to be genuine 1962. Why? Because CBS did NOT have pressing plant in the UK in 1962. FACT. So, how do we know this is Philips on CBS label? Well, take a look at the deadwax... its very straightforward. 1st pressings must have the Philips country indicator ID of "420v" present. These original 1st copies also mention the sides as 1L & 2L - NOT "A/B". So, 100% Philips. For genuine 1st the labels must be correct too. They should mention 1L/2L and 'recording 1st Published'. If you can verify all of those indicator - you have yourself a 1962 copy. Matrix 1/2. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original cover with flipbacks exposed. We're shipping in a mid-sixties CBS inner sleeve. It's not original to the '62 but it is genuine CBS and goes with the orange colour scheme.
Vinyl (Ex/Vg+) A great copy and looking very clean mostly. A couple of slight marks per side - one of which does sound momentarily. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with a couple of deviations. Nice quiet intros and inbetweens and the audio comes across with superb clarity. Playing very clean up around the Ex rating for the most part. And that's what you really need with Jazz. Just a touch of lightest background in the 1st minute on side 1 and 3-4 ticks in one spot [caused by a mark]. It then cleans up and is playing around Ex for the remainder of the LP. A pretty good batting average I'd argue. This audio is mega fussy. Highly recommended.
Cover (Vg) Very nice clean front without creasing. The rear has avoided the worst of the ageing process - but there is a bit of low level foxing mixed in the text. Flipbacks all intact and secure with light staining in a couple of spots. A bit of edge wear in places - it has worn through for one inch at the bottom of the opening [tape secured]. The spine is 90% intact with minimal wear. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity in part thanks to the heavy card employed in manufacture.
Inner (Ex-) Lightest ageing no splits.
