1R / 1G STAMPERS AND ZMT TAX CODE
RELEASED ON 26 APRIL, A MONTH AFTER THE MONO VERSION, THE BLACK/ GOLD RUN LABELS WAS VERY SHORT-LIVED LASTED ONLY A NUMBER OF WEEKS, AND RESEARCH ESTIMATES ONLY 900 OF THE BLACK/ GOLD LABELS FOR THE STEREO VERSION EVER EXISTED.
THE VINYL GRADES AS ONLY FAIR; LIGHT HAIRLINES OVER MOST OF THE SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES. SIDE 1 HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHTY FEEL-ABLE SCRATCHES. SIDE 2 HAS ONE SECTION WHICH HAS DEEP SCRATCHES. THE VINYL SURFACES STILL HOWEVER RETAIN A GOOD PRESSING SHINE AND THE RECORD LAYS COMPLETELY FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE.
THE LABELS STILL RETAIN A BRIGHT GOLD TYPEFACE, STEREO BANNER, AND PARLOPHONE SIGN. THE BLACK BACKGROUND IS A LITTLE FADED.
THE GOLD SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD. APART FROM SOME HIGH-GRADE TAPE REPAIR PROTECTING THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES THERE IS LITTLE TO FAULT. IT HAS RETAINED HIGH CONTRAST AND GLOSS ON THE FRONT PICTORIAL, WITH NO MAJOR CREASES LINES, AND THE REAR PANEL IS CLEAN WITHOUT ANY WRITING. THERE ARE NO TEARS OR RIPS, AND THE SPINE IS PERFECT.
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS, POPS OR STICKS DESPITE THE SCRATCES WHICH IS TESTAMENT TO HOW ROBUST THESE EARLY EMI PRODUCTIONS ARE. THERE IS LIGHT AUDIBLE BACKGROUND CRACKLE ALL OF THE WAY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES, AND SIDE 2 HAS SEVERAL JUMPS - WHICH WILL VERY MUCH DEPEND ON THE WEIGHT OF THE NEEDLE ARM. THE AUDIO STILL COMES THROUGH CLEAR AND LUCID ON MOST TRACKS AND THE STEREO CHANNELING IS PERFECT.
THE ORIGINAL NEMS BAG IS VERY GOOD PLUS WITH NO DEFECTS APART FROM ONE VERY TINY TEAR WHICH IS A FEW MILLIMETRES IN DIAMETER.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS ISSUE; A THIN PAPER EMI DIE-CUT POLY-LINED INNER. ‘MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN’ TEXT.
THIS IS AN HISTORICAL ITEM - THE WORLD’S MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND IMPORTANT RECORD, AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS SUCH MORE SO IN THIS CASE RATHER ITS PROPENSITY FOR A LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
THE BALL-PARK FIGURE FOR ONE OF THESE IS £6000. IN FACT, I ONCE SAW ONE GO FOR £ 18000. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS RECORD AT A FRACTION OF THE NORMAL COST, AND IT’S VALUE WILL ONLY INCREASE.
IT WILL BE PACKAGED TO ENSURE THAT THE ITEM HAS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SECURITY POSSIBLE. IT WILL BE TRACKED AND INSURED FOR DELIVERY.
