Description

THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP

1966 UK 1st PRESSING BLACK & SILVER FONTANA LABEL

THE SECOND ALBUM

NEAR MINT CONDITION

 FONTANA RECORDS (TL. 5295) 33.3 rpm MONO

Stamped matrices: 687362 1L // 1 420, 2L 420 1 21

Made in England

 

CONDITION VINYL: STRONG EX+ / N/MINT- The vinyl is not far off perfect. A visible inspection reveals a great copy with full sheen and lustre with only a handful of light wispy sleeve marks present to both sides, you do really have to look very hard to see them. Playback is fantastic, nice deep punchy bass lines of the original mono recording.  With no clicks, hops, skips or jumps present. A joy to listen to. (I always grade conservatively, and offer a complete money back service  if not satisfied.

 

SLEEVE: STRONG EX+  The front laminated sleeve is really rather good, considering its age. Only revealing, a handful of small light creases towards the spine edge, which are hardly noticeable, along with a much larger one towards the opening edge. There is a small 'nick' out of the laminate which is only visible upon close inspection, towards the front lower edge. The unlaminated rear of the sleeve is just as good as the front with only some very light rubbing wear visible, as nearly all these Fontana sleeves seem to collect. Some light yellowing has occured on the extreme spine edge which does not detract from the overall appearance of the sleeve. There are absolutely no folds, tears, seam splits, or writing present.

LABELS: EXCELLENT+ The two black and silver Fontana paper labels are both clean and complete with bright original colours and clear text. There is some light spindle wear present on both sides. Again, no tears, names, initials, rips or writing present.
