Description
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL STEREO FIRST PRESSING OF AXIS BOLD AS LOVE RELEASED IN THE UK IN 1967 ON THE TRACK LABEL WITH ORIGINAL "STEREO" STICKER STILL INTACT ON FRONT COVER. IT'S SAID THAT THE STEREO FIRST PRESSING IS RARER THAN THE MONO WHICH SEEMS TO BE BOURNE OUT AS FEWER OF THEM SEEM TO APPEAR ON EBAY!
COMES WITH ORIGINAL "STEREO" INNER SLEEVE.
THE MATRIX NOS. ON THE RECORD ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
Side A - 613003 A ? 1
Side B - 613003 B ? 1
I HAVE HAD THIS RECORD FROM NEW BOUGHT IN 1967 WHEN FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK AND HAVE KEPT IT STORED VERY CAREFULLY AS WITH ALL MY COLLECTION.
THE PLAYING SURFACES LOOK CLEAN, BRIGHT AND SHINY AS NEW HOWEVER UNDER A STRONG LIGHT SHOWS SOME LIGHT SCUFF MARKS WHICH HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY REMOVING FROM INNER SLEEVE BUT THEY DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. THERE IS NO WARPING OF THE RECORD AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS EX (SIDE 1) AND EX- (SIDE 2). THE SOUND IS CLEAR AND BRIGHT THROUGHOUT WITH NO DISTORTION WITH JUST A LITTLE LOW LEVEL CRACKLE EVIDENT BETWEEN SOME OF THE TRACKS (NOT ALL) ON SIDE 2.
VERY RARE TO FIND THIS RECORD IN THIS CONDITION!
THE LABELS ARE IN A CLEAN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS APART FROM SOME SPINDLE MARKS.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS LAMINATED ON THE OUTSIDE WITH "FLIPBACKS" (GLUE TABS) ON THE INSIDE AND HAS THE ORIGINAL "STEREO" STICKER ON THE FRONT COVER AND WAS PRINTED BY ERNEST J DAY.
AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE PHOTOS THE SLEEVE IS CLEAN AND TIDY WITH VERY, VERY MINOR WEAR. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL AREAS OF CRACKING IN THE LAMINATE (ONLY NOTICEABLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT OR DAYLIGHT) WITH NO PEELING OR BUBBLING. THE OPENING EDGES OF THE SLEEVE SHOW SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AS DOES ONE VERY SLIGHTLY RUBBED CORNER ALL OF WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTOS. ALL IN ALL THE SLEEVE HAS STOOD UP VERY WELL AFTER 48 YEARS.
THE INNER SLEEVE WHICH AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER (AS I'VE HAD IT SINCE 1967) IS THE ORIGINAL WHICH CAME WITH THE STEREO EDITION AS IT NOTES THE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY A STEREO RECORD! AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE PHOTOS THE INNER SLEEVE HAS SOME FOLDS AND CREASES AND ALSO SOME GLUE STAIN COMING THROUGH THE PAPER WHERE THE POLY LINER HAS BEEN AFFIXED TO THE PAPER INNER SLEEVE BUT IT IS INTACT WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS!
IF YOU REQUIRE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON ANY ASPECT OF THIS RECORD PLEASE GET IN TOUCH.
THE ITEM IS LOCATED IN THE UK BUT I WILL POST WORLDWIDE.
UK POSTAGE WILL BE £7.00 INCLUDING INSURANCE.
