You will be very hard pressed to find a VERTIGO press that plays with such power Local Anaesthetic was the forth album by the pioneering United Kingdom based progressive rock band Nirvana, released on the classic Vertigo label in 1972.
It is considered their masterpiece and most collectable vinyl.
Nirvana were active in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Though the band achieved only limited commercial success, they were acclaimed both by music industry professionals and by critics.
Nirvana was created as the performing arm of the London-based songwriting partnership of Irish musician Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Greek composer Alex Spyropoulos.
On their recordings Campbell-Lyons and Spyropoulos supplied all the vocals.
The instrumental work was primarily undertaken by top session musicians and orchestral musicians - with Campbell-Lyons providing a little guitar and Spyropoulos contributing some keyboards.
A who s-who of behind-the-scenes craftsmen, who went on to become Britain s top producers, arrangers, engineers and mixers of the 1970s, chose to work with Nirvana in the late 1960s and in essence cut their studio teeth working with Nirvana.
Chris Thomas and Jimmy Miller actually worked with Nirvana before working with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
ALBUM PLAYED FOR AUDIO GRADING: Yes brilliant sound quality throughout LOCAL ANAESTHETIC is a complex album and a very difficult vinyl to collect.
It is very rare and prone to heavy surface sound due to the production and many spare areas on the record.
This is a stunning example, this great record plays up to the high visual grading and beyond.
It plays with incredibly powerful and clear sound, with no groove wear or blurring of the sound separation incredibly rare on an original 1st ever pressing Strong, undistorted sound free of any loud pops or clicks, the channels are clean and unstressed.
The record plays with staggering power, with a minimum of surface sound during the tracks.
Great audio with minimal interference to distract form the overly enjoyment of this great record, and only light surface or static noise between the tracks.
I will give a detailed account below: Side 1.
starts with crystal clear audio.
Nice clean run ins there is some very slight static at the very start, but it is faint, pretty much before the music starts.
There is barely any light static during the music and no loud pops or clicks at all.
Moving into the wonderful audio which demonstrates Nirvanas incredible subtle production layering, with notes and effects that are usually lost on most even relatively played vinyls.
Here the audio sings out with amazing clarity.
For such a varied album this is just an awesome audio performance.
No pops or clicks and barely any background static at all.
The music is just incredibly bright and sharp.
It would be very hard to find a clearer pressing.
Side 2.
starts out with some very light static in the run ins and quiet areas, but nothing that noticeable.
The sound really is brilliant and clear.
Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound.
No loud pops or clicks during the music, and not a hint of distortion.
In fact I may as well confirm now that there is not a hint of distortion anywhere on this great vinyl.
It plays with super clear sound, and the heavily layered quiet instrumental section sounds great.
The long keyboard sections are so clear and sharp, barely a hint of surface sound.
The shoe vinyl plays with superb clear bright sound.
The delicate areas sounds incredible.
The audio is just superb, with barely any audible static and crystal clear vocal layering.
No obvious sound interference at all.
The vocals sing out, with great clarity.
This variable album is nearly always blighted with loud pops, clicks, buzzing crackle and distortion, but not here.
Barely a light static tic to be heard, just stunning clear audio.
Superb clear sound.
No pops or clicks, just truly incredible super bright clear audio.
Fantastic All the way through the vinyl plays with incredible definition.
A total lack of loud pops, clicks, interference, and certainly no distortion anywhere on this great record, makes this a truly incredible collectable press of this ultimate rarity.
The music jumps out, with definition and clarity, the vocals come through with tremendous power.
Its the same with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars multi layers come through crisp and clear.
The tonal quality and incredible lack of any surface sound make this a sensational pressing.
With the clear and extra loud First cut engineering giving the audio a vibrant sound which cannot be beaten.
A staggering first stereo mix, unlike the re-issues which lack the impact.
This is a great all round example of this great vinyl.
Graded NEAR MINT.
THE LABELS Both labels are in great condition with no marks or writing, and no discernible spindle wear.
No spindle traces can be found.
The record looks unplayed.
Great all round deep coloured examples, wonderful Graded NEAR MINT to MINT.
THE RECORD VISUAL GRADING A superb piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing.
Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original early pressings, this vinyl looks unplayed.
On initial inspection the vinyl looks completely unmarked.
Seen under a spot light it still looks largely unmarked and unplayed.
No scratches, no hairlines, just a few barely visible sleeve removal marks.
A really wonderful ARCHIVE example.
Grades NEAR MINT.
VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING: Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.
THE COVER This is a stunning example of this Ultra Rare 1st press cover.
These pale card covers usually faired pretty badly, with serious ring wear and destruction to the edges.
The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and un readable.
Not this one There is barely any detectable scuffing to the corners, and no rubbing along the edges.
The opening edges are very square and un frayed.
Virtually unmarked there are a couple of tiny scuffs only.
The white areas are very white, with minimal blemishes and just a couple of creases on the back.
The back cover is nice and clean, with virtually no ring wear, which is very unusual for these delicate covers.
The Spine is an unusually square example, with some light wear only, with the spine text is intact.
A great example.
All round, this is a really nice original cover.
Grades at EXCELLENT condition.
THE INNER An EXCELLENT condition, original white inner.
NO small tears around the die cut opening, NO splits to the seams, and NO wear at the tops.
Crisp and Clean, with no splits, and no writing.
A great example.
RARITY A 1st pressing of LOCAL ANAESTHETIC in any type of condition is scarce.
The vinyl is so often played so much, heavily marked, scratched, with noisy, poor and distorted sound.
And these 1st pressings were produced in a very small run.
Any EARLY UK PRESS examples with a record in this type of condition, that plays with TOP AUDIO is an ultimate rarity, let alone a 1st pressing.
The cover is almost impossible to find without serious wear, even modestly worn examples are scarce and this one is one of the better examples.
Finding a great cover like this, with a stunning piece of vinyl, fantastic .
