LABELS
THE LABELS ON THIS RECORD ARE WHAT SETS IT APART FROM THE OTHER BLACK & GOLDS ON EBAY. AS YOU WILL SEE FROM OTHER LISTINGS, 1ST PRESS BLACK & GOLDS CREDITED 'DICK JAMES' ON 'I SAW HER STANDING THERE' AND 'MISERY' ON SIDE 1. 2ND PRESS BLACK & GOLDS CREDITED THESE TO 'NORTHERN SONGS'. YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS THAT THIS RECORD BEARS A 2ND PRESS SIDE 1 LABEL.
FOR SIDE 2, 1ST PRESS RECORDS CREDIT 'DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET' AND 'THERES A PLACE' TO 'DICK JAMES'. 2ND PRESS CREDIT THESE TO 'NORTHERN SONGS'. FROM THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THIS RECORD BEARS A 1ST PRESS SIDE 2 LABEL.
THE RECORD IS THEREFORE AN INTERMEDIATE 1ST/2ND PRESS. IT WAS PRESSED JUST AS THE SWITCH OVER FROM 1ST TO 2ND PRESS LABELS WAS TAKING PLACE.
THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW BLACK & GOLD PLEASE PLEASE ME RECORDS ON EBAY BUT THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND OF THESE 'INTERMEDIATES' THAT I HAVE SEEN.
THESE LABELS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION: NO WRITING, MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR. EMBOSSED TAX CODE 'MT' STILL CLEARLY VISIBLE ON SIDE 2. THE GOLD ON BLACK LOOKS SUPERB.
VINYL
GOOD CONDITION BUT NOT EXCELLENT OR MINT. IF YOU HOLD THE RECORD UP TO A STRONG LIGHT YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF HAIRLINE SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS ON BOTH SIDES. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW MEDIUM SIZE SCRATCHES.
MATRIX NUMBERS XEX 421-1N, XEX 422-1N. MOTHER & STAMPERS: 2GH & 1M.
INNER SLEEVE
EXCELLENT: ITS THE ORIGINAL 'USE EMITEX' TYPE, WITH CORRECT POLY LINER. SUPER CLEAN, NO WRITING & ONLY SLIGHT CREASING!
COVER
ERNEST J DAY COVER HAS THE 'PHOTO: ANGUS MCBEAN' CREDIT IN THE ALL IMPORTANT EXTREME LOWER RIGHT POSITION, INDICATING GOLD & BLACK COVER. OFTEN THE COVER IS 'UPGRADED' VIA SWAPPING WITH A LATER 4TH PRESS COVER WITH THE PHOTO CREDIT SLIGHTLY FURTHER TO THE LEFT. NOT THE CASE HERE. THERE IS RUBBING TO ALL 4 CORNERS. THE REAR OF THE COVER HAS ALL 3 FLIPBACKS STILL STUCK DOWN. NAME AND A FEW MARKS WRITTEN TO BACK HAS BEEN PARTIALY ERASED BUT IS STILL VISIBLE, SEE PHOTO. LOWER RIGHT REAR CORNER HAS A PIECE OF FLIPBACK MISSING. SOME RINGWEAR AND SOME MARKS HERE AND THERE. SOME CREASING TO LAMINATE. SOME GRUBBY MARKS HERE AND THERE ON THE BACK, SEE PHOTO
SOUND
VERY GOOD. NO SKIPS, NO GETTING STUCK, SOUNDS GREAT ON BOTH SIDES. THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SCRATCHES CAUSE AUDIBLE CLICKS HERE AND THERE. SOME MINOR CRACKLING AND FUZZINESS AUDIBLE BETWEEN TRACKS AND IN THE BACKGROUND.
ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ITEM FOR SALE
