Description

A genuine very 1st press of 'In Rock' on the UK Harvest label. Matrix 2/1 - the very 1st cut. Stampers 1-RT/1-RM [very 1st mother]. Please note labels are consistent with very 1st press - 'Gramophone' still appears in the perimeter text and there is NO Emi logo apparent. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original gatefold cover. Also included is the original Harvest inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In impressive condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with one slight deviation. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. A truly super rendition with even 'Child In Time' playing very nice and clean - and that's the test track for pedigree! Interference is very minor and infrequent. The only even vague issue we had was a few light crackles in the subdued/quiet organ section for the intro to 'Speed King' - and even this is minor. We are talking a very clean high quality rendition for the most part. If you are looking for purity of sound - this could be the copy for you.
Cover (Ex) In superb shape and has clearly been looked after down the years. Lovely shiny front with a crease in the top-right corner and very little else worthy of note. The rear is in similar condition - borderline fautless. The interior is in lovely condition without foxing or ageing at all. Edge wear is very light and the spine is pretty much all intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity and remains a great specimen.
Inner (Ex/Ex+) Very little ageing. No splits. One date neatly written.
