Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Audience called "Lunch" and is an ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Charisma label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE CHARISMA LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1972 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'WHITE LABEL' TEST PRESSING (WITH 2 x 'ONE-SIDED' TEST PRESS DISCS)!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! 'WHITE LABEL' TEST PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN 2 OR 3 COPIES ONLY!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED TO TEST THE QUALITY OF THE PRESSING - PRIOR TO APPROVAL!!!! NATURALLY, THEY WERE ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE (AS IN THIS CASE!) - AND ARE OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!! AND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, THIS ULTRA RARE 'WHITE LABEL' TEST PRESSING HAS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1G/1G MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THIS IS QUITE LITERALLY THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! 2 OF THE WHITE LABELS EVEN HAVE VERY FAINT 'T' FACTORY PRINTED STAMPS ON THEM - WHICH OF COURSE STANDS FOR 'TEST PRESSING'!!!! BARELY ANY 'WHITE LABEL'' TEST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS THE RAREST & 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS LP COMES FROM A 1 OWNER COLLECTION OF LPs, FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS VERY HIGH UP IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS BACK IN THE LATE 1960s & EARLY 1970s!!!! ALL OF HIS RECORDS WERE RECIEVED DIRECT FROM THE FACTORY AND STORED OUT OF THE LIGHT (VERTICALLY IN CLOSED BOXES!) AND REMAINED IN PLASTIC SLEEVES SINCE NEW!!!! AS A RESULT THIS LP HAS REMAINED IN AMAZING CONDITION - AS IT HASNT SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY SINCE THE YEAR IT WAS MADE!!!! AND IN THIS LPs CASE, THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL (ONLY ONCE OR TWICE AT THE VERY MOST!) AND ARE IN AMAZING CONDITION, THE 'MATCHING' INNER SLEEVES ARE SIMPLY STUNNING, AND THE GATEFOLD 'TEXTURED' COVER IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1972 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 2 x 'WHITE LABEL' TEST PRESS CHARISMA LABELS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1U/2U MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'DATE STAMPED' INNER SLEEVES, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1G/1G MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' GATEFOLD 'TEXTURED' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Charisma UK 1st Pressing from 1972 and is in AWESOME condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is CAS 1054 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Charisma label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing (apart from the factory details!), and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK AMAZING!!!! It is also great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! BOTH records must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME SET OF RECORDS !!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Date Stamped' inner sleeves which are in AWESOME condition!!!! The 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Gatefold 'Textured' Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing (virtually NONE!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
