CLOSE TO THE EDGE 

ATLANTIC RECORDS # 7244 

Very hard to find original United States Mono pressing of this vinyl record album, released in 1972.  The Mono pressings were never commercially available, Atlantic pressed a very small number of them and only sent them to a select few radio stations that were still broadcasting in Mono at the time for airplay.  The only way you could get this is if you were a DJ at a Mono radio station in 1972.  Such a small number of these were made that Atlantic Records did not even manufacture a Mono specific cover for this LP, they just put a red factory tag on the front of the cover to indicate a DJ Copy Mono pressing (the cover reads Stereo on the back).  The copy we are offering here has the original textured gatefold cover and the custom song lyric inner sleeve.

COVER: The jacket has only a small amount of light surface wear on the front and back.  There is some small creasing in the top and bottom left corners, some spine wear, and some top edge wear.  This cover grades a nice VG+.  

VINYL: The record is clean and retains most of its original glossy luster.  Side One grades EX.  Side Two grades a strong VG+.  Both record labels are exceptionally well preserved. 

DEAD WAX (Side 1): A-14095-A AT
DEAD WAX (Side 2): A-14096-A AT

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.

With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting. Upon request, we will give your sealed LP's the same treatment.

All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket (often automatically relegating it to a VG+ at best), we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark (thereby letting you know what it "really" looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner). LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.

We describe all items to the best of our ability and knowledge, and we image everything that is included for each listing. If you have any questions regarding a description or pictures, please contact us for help.
