Description
An original 1st issue of BIG HITS on the UK Decca label. Matrix 2A/3A - very 1st cut! Please note the Decca deep groove which is indicative of 1st issue. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original Mono gatefold cover - not a peephole version like the later copies . Also included is the original Decca inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In lovely condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection we can only make out a few very light marks either side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Do bear in mind that so so many of these greatest hits LPs have been played to death over the years. Finding a little abused copy is not all that easy. But when you do boy do they sound good - all in MONO. The test track is 'Lady Jane' ...and it plays clean as a whistle! Intros and inbetweens are very nice and quiet and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Interference is very limited in nature. You might pick up a few crackles in a couple of isolated spots. But by and large this is a clean player that delivers a super rendition.
Cover (Vg+) Looks to be in nice condition and has been looked after down the years. Nice clean front with vivid colours - no signs of fading. The rear is equally good - just flat, clean, shiny, and without creasing. The interior looks great too - without signs of heavy use. All pages are still stapled in fine and intact - one of the staples looks like it has been added at a later date, but either way it's still doing the trick and holding it all together fine. There's a bit of edge wear apparent. On the right panel there's two inches of wear-through on the top and bottom edge. The spine is decent with only light wear. Most of the text on the spine is legible except for one letter. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Ex-) Lighest ageing. No splits.
