Description
YES "Time And A Word" 1970 UK 1st PRESSING - NM AUDIO
w/LYRIC SHEET - SENSATIONAL STRONG SOUND - GREAT COPY
YESTime And A Word
ORIGINAL UK ATLANTIC (SUPER 2400 006) FIRST PRESSING (August 1970) OF YES' SECOND LP "Time And A Word" WHICH SOUNDS SENSATIONAL (ON MY SYSTEM - AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME) WITH A CRYSTAL CLEAR, CLEAN, BRIGHT AND INCREDIBLY FRESH SOUND - THIS COPY HAS SEEN LITTLE PLAY, THE PLAYBACK IS PRACTICALLY FLAWLESS AND IT SOUNDS STUNNING
PRESSED ON QUALITY MID-WEIGHT VINYL WITH WITH THE FIRST UK ATLANTIC RED/PLUM LABELS
MATRIX: 2400006 A*∇1 11 9 / 2400006 B∇2 11 6
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL SINGLE MATT SLEEVE (there are no printers credited)
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INSERT PRINTED ON ONE SIDE OF THIN WHITE CARD WITH THE '2400 006' CATALOGUE NUMBER IN THE BOTTOM CORNER
AND THE ORIGINAL WHITE POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE (DATE CODED '0370' - March, 1970)
GREAT COPY OF ONE OF YES' POOREST SELLING RECORDS - IT SPENT ONLY 3 WEEKS IN THE UK CHART IN AUGUST 1970, PEAKING AT NO. 45 (and in consequence one of their hardest to find, especially in such wonderful condition) - VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INDEED
Track Listing:
Side 1: No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed / Then / Everydays / Sweet Dreams
Side 2: The Prophet / Clear Days / Astral Traveller / Time And A Word
LABELS: Clean, bright, fresh and unmarked labels with only light spindle wear - EXCELLENT+
VINYL Visual: The record lies perfectly flat on the turntable and both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen. There are some light markings (especially on Side Two) but these have no real audio consequence - the playback is superb - visually EXCELLENT++ /EXCELLENT+
VINYL Audio: The audio on this first pressing is absolutely stunning - tremendously strong, rich and vibrant with a crystal clear, clean, fresh and immediate sound and on playback at a loud volume there are no audio issues of note - no scratches, no loud clicks or pops and no surface noise. The record plays beautifully from start to finish with great clarity, no groove-wear, no distortion, sounds wonderful and is critically graded NEAR MINT for audio - a really outstanding copy
SLEEVE: The original issue matt cover is also in beautiful condition - one of the finest I have seen - it's clean and unmarked with crisp, square edges and spine which display very little storage wear - all text on the spine (which is 'pinched' at the top and bottom) is clear and bold. Apart from some light half-moon creases at the opening edge the sleeve is practically like-new - NEAR MINT
INSERT: The original lyric insert has some light creasing to the corners but is otherwise, unmarked - EXCELLENT
and the poly-lined inner sleeve is clean and unmarked and remarkably white with no splits - EXCELLENT++
