THIS RECORD
OVERALL GRADING (according to Goldmine Grading Guide):
Media: VG+
Sleeve: VG
1. MEDIA/RECORD
ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.K. PRESSING FROM 1972
NO REISSUE, NO IMPORT, NO COUNTERFEIT PRESSING
1.1. RECORDING
Full-bodied analog recording (not an inferior, digital recording)
1.2. MATRIX
Side 1 ''6360055 1#1'' (earliest only 1st press)
Side 2 ''6360055 2#1'' (earliest only 1st press)
1.3. VINYL
Record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first and very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording.
1.4. VISUAL
The vinyl looks impeccable with only one superthin hairline on Side A and three superfine hairlines on Side B, no sound imperfections caused by this. No tips, no pops, nothing else. The original luster is still intact, and the vinyl still shines and sparkles almost like new.
1.5. SOUND
There especially is some smooth noise before each first track of each side and some very smooth noise throughout the whole record, hardly to hear. The music is still very clear and crispy for the whole record.
1.6. INNERSLEEVE
The record comes in the original poly-lined inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years. Plus a brandnew innersleeve to protect the original from further harm.
2. LABEL
ORIGINAL VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL black/white
Two small felt-pen marks on the Side A label (see picture)
One small felt-pen mark on the Side B (see picture)
