Description

An original 1st mono issue of BFS on UK Parlophone. Matrix 3N/4N. The labels exhibit 'Parlophone' and 'recording 1st pub' as you would expect on a 1st issue. I would imagine this LP was sold around Xmas time 1964. It's certainly worth going for the early copies - it will guarantee you the heaviest pressing. Check out the label shots.  You should be able to pick out a graduated bulge toward the label edge [particularly evident on side 2]. The vinyl comes housed in an original mono gatefold cover. We also have an original Emitex inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex) A lovely copy that has clearly only seen light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a couple of very light marks - but absolutely nothing that will get remotely close to that precious audio. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback. Lovely quiet intros and inbetweens and the audio comes across with superb clarity. Really superb audio integrity. Yes, it's an early copy that will be helping. And, yes, it is heavy pressed by EMI. But ultimately what takes this copy up to the top-level is it has only seen light use. It's got a very delicate adept delivery - with hardly a whiff of background. Maybe a couple of crackles in a couple of spots per side - now that is an excellent strike rate on this title. Moonlight and Sun on side 1 are very tricky low-key tracks. They will play with a bit of background on most copies - but not here! The tracks play clean as a whistle - which is quite unusual. If you're looking for best audio - don't let this one drift out of your hands!
Cover (Vg+) A really difficult one to source in decent condition due to the way it was designed. But this example is in rather rude health. That front opening panel is usually knackered - but it's looking very nice with just a few creases down in the bottom right corner. the rear is looking just as fine with no dulling in colours. Edge wear is relatively light for this title. A couple of light stress creases on the spine, and some ageing. All text on the spine is legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Ex-) Lightest ageing. No splits. Catalogue number written in the top left corner.
