PINK FLOYD Meddle 1971 UK HARVEST 1st PRESS Nr MINT AUDIO
BEAUTIFUL COPY, EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN SOUND PERFORMANCE
PINK FLOYDMeddle
UK HARVEST (SHVL 795) FIRST PRESSING (November 1971) OF PINK FLOYD'S BREATHTAKING "Meddle" LP
BEAUTIFUL COPY, HARDLY EVER BEEN PLAYED WITH SUPERB SOUND QUALITY THROUGHOUT
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST HARVEST LABELS WHICH CARRY "The Gramophone Co Ltd." RIM TEXT
MATRIX NUMBERS: SHVL 795 A-1U / SHVL 795 B-1U
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/PO and 1/LL
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY TEXTURED (inside as well as outside) SOFT BACKED GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd." WITH FACTORY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE, DATE CODED '7110' (1971, October)
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL HARVEST, POLY-LINED, COMPANY INNER SLEEVE
Side 1: ONE OF THESE DAYS / A PILLOW OF WINDS / FEARLESS / SAN TROPEZ / SEAMUS
Side 2: ECHOES
LABELS: MINT-
Clean, bright and fresh labels with no discernible spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new, glossy sheen and are practically unmarked.
Under normal light on Side One there is one short hairline and one tiny (1mm) mark on "Fearless", Side Two is unmarked. Under very bright light only normal wispy light hairlines are visible - none of these superficial marks have any audio significance
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Superb - barely been played with stunning audio throughout - strong, deep, rich and beautifully warm.
My play-check at loud volume revealed no audio issues of note at all - no scratches and no loud clicks or pops.
The sound performance throughout is exceptional clean with practically silent run-ins, track divisions and quiet passages.
The finest sounding first press copy you could wish for and the best I've heard in a long, long time
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The textured gatefold has some (very minor) light touches of wear to the top and bottom edges and spine but all spine text is clear and bold.
The outer surfaces are clean and unmarked with no rubbing/ring wear and the inner surfaces are similarly clean and fresh with just a small mark on the bottom of the Roger Waters portrait.
A very well preserved and very fine example
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The Harvest inner sleeve is also in great shape with no splits, just some age-related discolouration to the edges
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
