Description

For auction, here is: Genesis - From Genesis to Revelation. English Progressive Rock Masterpiece in my humble opinion.
Label is red background with silver print and Decca logo is large print unboxed style. Cat. # is LK-4990. Manufactured in the UK. Rel in 1969, this is an original MONO pressing from 1969, with correct, stamped matrix number (see photo).

SLEEVE.....The edges are EX+ condition with NO DAMAGE.  The front is in great condition with only a few tiny spine creases and 3 very small thumb creases which is hard to avoid on laminate. The rear is stupendous with miraculously, NO RINGWEAR and only a little bit of indentation in the centre from pen/pencil pressing through some paper on top. Hard to see unless angled in light.
The opening edge is in EX+ condition.  All in all this is in BRILLIANT condition for a 39 year old sleeve. Grade as EX for sure.

LABELS.....There is NO unwanted writing, stickers, residue or tears. This album has obviously always been handled with great care.

VINYL..... Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. FULL GLOSS.
When you hold this album in the very brightest of direct lights, there are just three very light marks that do not affect playback. 2 at the beginning of S1 and 1 at the end of the last track on S2. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing "Rega Planar 2" and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo separation. There are dust crackles that can only be heard in the quiet parts of the music or between tracks, and this is ONLY on the first few track on each side, but a professional clean should sort out most of that. These original pressings are second to none. This MONO pressing is really THE BUSINESS. This really is a great copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER . Grade as firm EX.

This LP will include the elusive printed lyric sheet which is illustrated with drawings and is printed with bold red print which is a darker tone to the stereo printing. Really Gorgeous.

Also included is the original unsplit MONO company inner sleeve with red border. This is correct for this LP and the peephole at the back of the sleeve allows the red to show through.

All in all a really, truely LOVELY and desirable copy in collectable condition.

I will include a 4 page sheet music of the song "Round Round" by Jonathan King with the LP to the winning bidder as a bonus (see photo). Mr King produced this very LP and "Round Round" was released as a single for him in 1967.

Packed well with double protection on each side and corner protection as well. Disc will be placed outside sleeve so no splits possible.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM

EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!
