DEEP PURPLE

“STORMBRINGER”

RARE and HARD-TO-FIND original very first STEREO DEEP PURPLE’s “STOMBRINGER” press released in Chile in 1975 by EMI ODEON CHILENA S.A. (Odeon Records), licensed from Purple Records Ltd., catalog number SLDC-35309, matrix numbers: TPS-3508 A. 4 in Side A and TPS-3508 B 1. 2 in Side B. Yes Sirs, ANOTHER FIND!!! And see the picture, this record is in superb condition!!! And remember we are very conservatives for grading our records…

“STORMBRINGER” was originally released in 1974 but we have to wait in Chile until 1975 to see this record released here. And we got it like many cases of that period with and UNIQUE COVER!!! Yes!!! In Chile it’s a flipback cover made with 2 single pieces of cardboard, with front cover pasted in the flips. Front cover is laminated and keeps the original artwork but back cover isn’t laminated and it’s different, it’s black and white coloured with all lyrics and credits in English only, but at the bottom it’s written in Spanish: “Marca Registrada Y Licencia Por Purple Records Ltd. Fabricado Y Distribuido por EMI Odeon Chilena S.A.”. In both cover and labels the album title and tracklist are in English only. It’s interesting to see that in back cover the song “You can’t do it right (With the one you love)”, correctly written, is written “You can’t do it right” in label.

The cover was already described and it’s in VG- or VG condition, clean, no missing parts, no writings, no creases, only some wear in edges and corners, a faint ring mark, most evident in back cover, and at the bottom right corner is a mark of residues of a sticker (not really a sticker, it was a red squared orange paper glued in back cover which says: “SERIE SELECTA Y ESTELAR” (Select and Stellar Serie), which got unglued and missing). The record is in superb VG+ or even EX- condition, glossy, clean, no scratches, no hairlines, but many soft scuffs which don’t affect sound at all. Labels on both sides are in EX+ or NM- condition, clean and clear. The sound is amazing!!! It’s in superb VG+ or EX- condition both sides, clear, loud, no background noise (background noise was normal in most of records pressed in Chile), only some soft pops and some very light crackles here and there, which don’t distract at all from the great sound of this album. Overall a RARE record in still an amazing condition, with a superb UNIQUE cover, a very good look and an incredible sound after almost 36 years!!!

About this particular copy in which the “Serie Selecta Y Estelar” paper is missing, the most interesting things are the matrix numbers: “A 4” in Side 1 and “B 1 2” in Side 2, because most “common” pressings have “A 1” and “B 1 1”; and that at upper left corner of front cover is written “M.A.M.”. Someone could think they are the initials of some past owner but I got this record from the original owner and he told me the record was with those initials at the shop… I don’t know, but something I know and Deep Purple fans and collectors know, Deep Purple albums made in Chile are very rare and almost impossible to find in good conditions and here it’s a very nice and respectable copy with rare matrix numbers and those “M.A.M.” in front cover… Wow!!!

Bid with confidence and don’t wait until the last second because you could lose the chance to get a real collectable record from Chile (South America) in superb condition like this copy is. You know South American records aren’t easy to get in good conditions, so HAPPY BIDDING and don’t let this record to go away… you could never see a so good copy of this record again… if you are lucky enough to see even another copy again…

Thanks for watching and bidding, good luck and best regards from Chile

_________________________________________________________

We don’t use the generic “VG” most of South American sellers use to hide poor quality conditions or “NM” or “Mint” for records which aren’t even clean and sound less than a normal “VG” in professional standards. We use the Record Collector’s Grading System with a little modification: we don’t use MINT grade but for Sealed records and we can use a + or – to show a most professional accurate description.

MINT (M): I only use this grade for Sealed records.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in like new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality (only some very very very light hairlines caused for the record rubbing the sleeve). The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in like perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, maybe some surface marks which doesn’t affect play. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

FEEDBACK

We don’t have anything to hide and we know the buyers expect to receive feedback after to pay for the items they win. Most of sellers say to give feedback when buyers leave feedback first. But we know that’s not fair for buyers. So, we leave feedback immediately after to receive the payment, because we understand that’s the part that buyers must receive feedback for.
