DETAILS
GATEFOLD VINYL ALBUM RELEASED ON FONTANA STL 5491 IN 1969
DESCRIPTION
EXCEEDINGLY RARE ALBUM FROM 1969. THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING ON THE BLACK SILVER FONTANA LABEL. THE MATRIX IS 886496 1Y/1AND 886496 2Y/1. THESE ARE VERY SMALL AND DIFFICULT TO READ. THERE IS ALSO A NUMBER 4 A LITTLE AWAY FROM THE REST ON BOTH SIDES.THE LABELS ARE CRISP AND CLEAR OF DAMAGE WITH NO WRITING OR STICKERS. THERE IS A LIGHT MARKING CAUSED BY THE SPINDLE WHICH ALWAYS SHOWS UP ON THESE BLACK SOFT LABELS. QUITE LIGHT AND GRADE THE LABELS AS EXCELLENT.
THE VINYL HAS A BEAUTIFUL SHINE TO IT. IT HAS NOT LOST ITS ORIGINAL NEW LOOK. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF HAIRLINES FROM PAPER SCUFFS THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL WITH CRISP CLEAR SOUNDS. I HAVE NOT DETECTED ANY DISTORTION. SIDE ONE HAS A NEEDLE MARK ON THE END OF TRACK 5 THAT SOUNDS FOR 8 REVOLUTIONS, OTHERWISE THIS SIDE PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY GRADE AS EXCELLENT. SIDE TWO HAS A COUPLE OF HAIRLINE SCUFF MARKS AND THUS GRADES AS VG++. TERRIFIC SOUNDING ALBUM WITH CLARITY AND DEFINITION NOT OFTEN FOUND IN THESE RARE ALBUMS.
THE GATEFOLD COVER IS THE VERY THIN FLIMSY STYLE THAT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF WEAR BUT THIS COVER ISN’T BAD AT ALL. THE COVER IS BRIGHT AND SHINY WITH NO WRITING BUT DOES HAVE SOME POINTS OF WEAR. FIRSTLY ALTOUGH THE SPINE IS MAINLY SOLID AND IN TACT, THERE IS A SMALL RUB/SCUFF TO LOWER SPINE OF ONE INCH AND ON THE REAR OPENING EDGE SOMETHING HAS CUGHT IT AND CAUSED A HORSESHOE CUT. I HAVE SCANNED THIS PART. THERE IS A SMALL ONE INCH LOWER OPENING SPLIT. EVEN WITH THIS WEAR THE COVER STILL GRADES AS VERY GOOD. .
