THE BAND (SELF TITLED)

HARD TO FIND 1969 ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS, PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH SUPERB EX+ AUDIO (PLEASE READ AUDIO DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU) !!!!
THIS IS 'THE BAND' WHO WERE FORMED IN 1967 IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, IN CANADA, AND THIS IS THEIR 2nd AND SELF TITLED ALBUM, RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 22nd 1969. PLAYS WONDERFUL, AND IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM, AND COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  EST 132 -H1  :: EST 132 -H1 .
VERY EARLY 1ST PRESS AND PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER  :: 1 H  ::  1 P .

ON THE CAPITOL EMI  LABEL :: EST 132  .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS TEXTURED GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J DAY & Co Ltd, LONDON. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID WITH SOME BIT OF LIGHT RUB ON THE SPINE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ALTHOUGH SOLID, HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP WITH, WHAT LOOKS LIKE BROWN FELT PEN. THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME, CAN NOT REMEMBER DOING IT, BUT I WILL SAY THEY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THE BACK HAS SOME LIGHT RING WEAR, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD SOME LIGHT TRACES OF FAINT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOTHING SERIOUS !!!! SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE, A BIT BETTER THAN VERY GOOD SO  :: VG+ . 

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERB, WITH JUST A MINOR ISSUE ON TRACK 2 WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT ARE THERE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND COSMETIC THIN SCUFF LINE ON TRACK 2,3,4 AND 5 ON SIDE 1, WHICH HAS NO AFFECT ON THE AUDIO. NOW THERE IS A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE TINY MARK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, WHERE YOU CAN HEAR A FAINT TICK, A POP ANOTHER TICK, AND A TINY SKIP, AND THAT'S IT. SO BIT OF A TOUGH ONE TO GRADE, SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE, AS IT IS ONLY THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 WITH ANYTHING OF NOTE.

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 2 :: I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG .  AND IT IS ONLY THAT FAINT TICK, A POP, ANOTHER TICK, AND A TINY SKIP, TOGETHER OVER FOUR GROOVES, AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ON THIS TRACK .

SIDE 1 AND THE REST OF THE TRACKS ON SIDE 2 :: I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+ . 

LABELS  :: LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL EMI FACTORY INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLTS :: VG+/EX- .

GREAT ALBUM, AND THEY JUST DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THEY USED TO DO. THERE ARE SOME AWESOME TRACKS ON HERE, AND THE AUDIO REALLY IS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, SHAME ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2, BUT IT IS GONE IN A FLASH AND QUICKLY FORGOTTEN !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
