Description

JAMES TAYLOR Sweet Baby James LP 1970 1st Pressing ULTRA RARE ORANGE LABEL.
From my own collection and one of the very first LPS I ever bought and has been well loved but well played ever since. 
BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY SMALL NUMBERS  AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED.  VERY SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE - WARNER BROS DECIDED TO DROP THEIR CURRENT 'ORANGE' LABELS, AND CHANGED THEM TO THE MORE COMMON 'GREEN' WARNER BROS LABELS INSTEAD.  ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE ON THE ULTRA RARE 'ORANGE' WARNER BROS LABEL  THIS IS ONE OF JAMES TAYLOR'S RAREST LP TO FIND.
Grading is always subjective especially on a disk more than 50 YEARS OLD but I will give  as accurate a description as I can.
Disk is bright and shiny and has surface scratches and marks on both sides. When playing there is no skipping or jumping and music still sounds good but is starting to show its age. There is crackling and clicks across all the tracks on both sides due to age and wear particularly noticeable on the first tracks on side 1 and  track 2 side 2. 
Using the GOLDMINE STANDARD I have graded the record overall as GOOD*        Cover is Excellent.

  • Matrix / Runout (Side A): WBWS 1843-A2
