Audio on these records is AWESOME. Near perfect presentation with phenomenal track listing-Highway Star, Smoke on the Water, Child in Time, Space Truckin…and more….The listener might as well be in the front row of one of their concerts!!! Live performances from Japan ,recorded in Osaka and Tokyo on 15-17 August 1972!!! Silent grooves between tracks and crystal clear reception. Absolutely sensational!!! Virtually faultless playback save for a few very faint ticks during intro of Child In Time , otherwise near mint aural delivery. One of the best deliveries ever heard from this massive vintage rarity. Electric guitars screech and grate from the speakers like pneumatic drills. Never heard anything quite like this .Takes you way back to those concert gigs that blew ones mind!

 

Fantastic factory fresh sleeve with little damage to report. Almost as new with that gorgeous ultra clean finish and the lamination has not lifted at all and gives a beautiful smooth feel. Gorgeous shiny gold, glossy double opening gatefold with a mirror like sheen . AWESOME visual .One of the best ever viewed and likely to be one of the best in existence today.Just ONE light crease to the laminate, no wear showing on edges and only two corner scuffs. Spine is MINT with a solid and square edge.When running ones finger to check the spine, no detection of laminate splits and very smooth. Incredible gatefold sleeve.One crease on reverse cover.Opens to an awesome vibrant tangerine/crimson inner face.Printed by Garrod and Lofthouse confirming a first issue. UK made and printed. Excellent +++ grading.

 

Labels

Very first issue with Gram text round top perimeter.Excellent condition and look superb with little to fault. No fading or discoloration. Slight part missing around the perfect central hole which fits snugly around the spindle. No mottling nor lifting. Beautiful example of a very early press. Nice relief detail and a great collectors item. Just a light spindle trace to observe, otherwise appear near perfect. Near mint minus condition .

 

Complete with the original white, patented inner sleeves in near mint condition. No discoloration prevalent and no seam splits, rips or tears. Amazing condition .

 

Vinyls

Appear near perfect. All four surfaces are virtually unmarked. This grading is as seen under ordinary lighting conditions. Beautifully, highly polished vinyls with glass-like surfaces, very similar to mint vinyl and look quite remarkable considering they are 33 years of age.

Thick chunky press characteristic of an early seventies production and have an awesome feel. Later reissues were thinner and lighter than these magnificent giants. Nice polished mirror like sheen on all surfaces. Ex + visual . Have not seen better and will prove difficult to match !

 

 What more can I say except I don’t know why I am parting with this album!!! Must be very scarce to find a monumental first press like this in such a superb condition.

 

Audio takes your breath away as the tones are razor sharp and the aural delivery is very near perfection. Will drive Purple fans wild as this album has all their wonderful tracks on.The very first press of this huge live double album is awesome as first UK issues are renowned for that extra loud cut and these channels give THE best audio ever heard!Sensational package on offer here with an audio conveying  sharp tones and crystal channels which provide a perfect base to hear Purples best rock ballads. Truly awesome . Will be IMPOSSIBLE to match . Do not miss  . True investment quality .
