FREE SHIPPING IN THE UK ON THE ITEM
Dark Horse is the fourth studio album by English musician George Harrison, released on Apple Records in December 1974 as the follow-up to Living in the Material World. Although keenly anticipated on release, Dark Horse is synonymous with the controversial North American tour that Harrison staged with co-headliner Ravi Shankar in November and December that year. This would be an early 2nd issue released in the mid seventies.

The Vinyl:
This is the original thick heavier chunky slab of vinyl only found like this on the earliest pressings. On visual inspection I can’t see any needle scratches or indeed any marks that would cause any clicks or pops. Any marks that could possibly be seen anglerd in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal type only. Visually like new.
The Audio Quality:
I have played this vinyl at very loud volume prior to this listing on a top system. Importantly using a dedicated mono cartridge. The audio is cristal clear and vibrant through out no distortion or any signs of groove wear at all. I heard no clicks or pops during the play of this vinyl. Lovely sounding copy. Audio graded at near mint in my opinion.
The Matrix:
Side 1“YEX 941-2U”
Side 2“YEX 942-2U”
The Mother Stampers:
Side 1 “3” “AP”
Side 2 “?” “OM”
The Labels:
These are the original 1st issue Parlophone Labels: feature “Sold In The UK….” text across the labels (only 1st press) K.T. tax code is stamped on side 2 (correct for this early pressing) Any spidering can barely be seen angled to the light and there is little if no spindle wear the hole is perfectly round. This has obviously only had very minimal play in mt opinion.
The Record Sleeve:
This is the original custom Apple picture record sleeve light creasing, browning, becoming fragile with age only.
The Lyric insert:
Like new.
The Cover:
This is the original 1st issue Garrod & Lofthouse unlaminated gate fold cover. There are no real nasty creases to mention this is nice and straight as it should be. no edge splits or tares. Only on very closer scutany can slight rubbing ware wih age only be noticed but nothing too serious. The rear is clean alight rubbing wear at the rear only really noticed if looked for in my opinion. I would grade this at least excellent in my opinion if not better.
Summery:
For any Beatles related lovers this is a classic from the Dark Horse vinyl barely ever played audio near mint.
