OVER 40 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The labels.

The original labels  features the SONG LIST side a.

 and the SONG LIST on side b.

(only early press)!!!!!

All rights.... are featured around the label rim

(only early press)!!!!!!!

   hardly any spindle ware

 (The hole is perfectly round)

SEE THE PICS!!!!!

The vinyl.

Original heavy thicker and deeper grooved type of vinyl only seen on these very early pressings!!!!!!!

 Very soon were changed to flimsier and less robust type of vinyls!!!!!!

The vinyl is absolutely superb on initial visual inspection this looks superb and still retains its sheen from new!!!!!!

The Audio Quality

This vinyl as played and listened to very carefully track for track at least three times prior to listing and as played at very loud volume!

  We have tried to accurately give an honest acount on the audio quality as heard!

 The first thing that hits you when the needle is put on the vinyl is the absolute clarity and vibrancy real raunchy deep bassy feel on this pressing,

 Truly stunning audio!

Important to note that there are no loud clicks or pops at all! 

 (Please note this vinyl has (not) been over played !!!!

(This audio sounds truly awesome throughout) 

 there no signs of grooveware or distortion during the audio play of this vinyl!!!! 

 Have played this through track for track and the audio quality is superb-

 Crystal clear & extremely vibrant!!!!

(In strong light only, any marks that could possibly be seen would be light wispy sleeve removal

 and we mean the LIGHTEST of marks !!!!!!!!

No audio sounding marks or needle scratches that would produce any loud clicks or pops.

 The audio on this pressing in our opinion is almost as good as it gets for the most part

for a very 1st pressing!!!!!)

Even in between tracks and quiet places there is extremely minimal noise, no surface noise just the very light static crackle intermitantly only on quiet places.!!!

Please note! It is easy to be critical about these 60s pressings! Please allow for very light static crackle\tick during quiet places!

 This is one of the best audio that we have heard and seen of this pressing!!!!!

 We would class ourselves as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl and the 1st pressing by this awesome singer ''TIM BUCKLEY''!!!

Audio is graded as excellent plus very near perfect for the most part on our system!!!!!

Please note! That we always make this disclaimer! That although we never heard any clicks or pops during the play of the audio, This has been played and  this is a genuine 40 year old vinyl that would have been played on a 40 year old system!!!!

Important note!

 -IT HAS ALREADY BEEN CLEANED PROFESSIONALY WITH OUR CLEARAUDIO LORICRAFT SYSTEM-

This will reduce any static and will enhance the audio quality! 

The cover.

This is the original gatefold (non) laminated (card type) 1st press cover with SONG LISTING on the back of the cover.This cover is superb with no splits or tears!

 Lovely square corners -UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION!!!!!

  The spine is lovely and square and the writing is fully legible rarely ever seen like this!!!!

 The INNER SLEEVE is fully intact and well secured !!!!!

 THIS MUST BE AT LEAST EXCELLENT/plus!!!!!!

there is a small amount of

 rubbing bos that does not

interfere with album writing
