Description

<<60th YEAR ANNIVERSAR>>
An original earliest STEREO 1st press on UK HMV from summer 1962. Matrix 1/1. Tax Code "ZT". Stampers 1A/1M - placing it amongst the 1st few thousand copies ever to roll off the press. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original Stereo E J Day cover. Bear in mind that in '62 the stereo format was still VERY niche. This record would be very difficult to find 'period' - let alone in this condition. We also have the correct HMV advertising inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex) In super condition - particularly considering the vintage. Has seen only the lightest use and has been very carefully looked after. Under close inspection I could only make a couple of lightest marks per side. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback with a couple of minor deviations. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with super clarity. Jeepers creepers - A beautiful player - if you can't get excited by the music and pressing quality of this record...there's something wrong with ya! Very little background observable. The low-key tracks play clean too... All I could detect were a couple of static rustles in 'Half As Much'. Just momentary sub 1 sec bursts of crackle. Extremely brief. And one solitary pop right at the end of side 1, as it closes out [in the final couple of seconds!]. Side 2 plays absolutely FAULTLESS...you could not better it ever. This LP has super audio fidelity and plays really clean throughout.
Cover (Ex/Ex-) Difficult to find looking this well preserved. Lovely clean and flat front cover with no creasing or laminate lift. Tiny amount of sticker residue top right. The rear has pretty much avoided the ageing process - which makes it look very impressive. Perhaps, just a couple of very slight foxing marks in the bottom left corner. All flipbacks are intact and secure. Very little edge wear and nice firm openings. The spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity in part thanks to the heavy card employed in manufacture. A real looker!
Inner (Ex-) Slightest ageing. Unbelievable. Bag present. No splits.
