THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - FOR 2 VERY IMPORTANT REASONS FIRSTLY, THIS LP WAS THE FIRST UK LP EVER TO FEATURE THE MELLOTRON THE MOST FAMOUS PSYCHEDELIC INSTRUMENT IN THE LATE 1960s - SHOWING EXACTLY HOW FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME GRAHAM BOND REALLY WAS AND SECONDLY THIS LP IS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS AND 33SX CAT NUMBER ON THE COVER AND LABELS THE 33 PART OF THE CAT NUMBER WAS DROPPED FROM THE LABELS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE EARLIEST RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND AND DESPITE A FEW DETAILS TO NOTE SEE BELOW , IT IS STILL A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE INDEED JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1965 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS BLUE/BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MONO MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS EMITEX INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS GARROD LOFTHOUSE FLIPBACK LAMINATED PATENTS PENDING MONO COVER THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY This is the ORIGINAL Columbia UK 1st Pressing from 1965 and is in GREAT condition overall The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 33SX 1750 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Blue/Black Columbia label see picture and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing
The record labels are in SUPERB condition see pictures with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few VERY light spindle marks The vinyl is still VERY bright and shiny indeed And despite a few marks on either side - it is still a very VERY presentable record indeed Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has 1 visible scuffline, only 3 or 4 small hairline type marks, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, only a few VERY light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, a few light clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either I will be MEGA STRICT and grade the record Fair here the lowest grade given to a record that does not jump or stick - though I suspect most people would grade it Good or even Good . And I have seen PLENTY of records graded Very Good that look FAR worse than this one does It is still JET BLACK, definitely NOT dull and lifeless, plays well, and looks very VERY presentable indeed I have simply decided to be MEGA STRICT to avoid any disappointment Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to Brillant The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Emitex inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition The ORIGINAL 1st Press Garrod Lofthouse Flipback Laminated Patents Pending MONO Cover is in GREAT condition It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear NOT through the colour , NO edge splits, only a few VERY light creases cover is VERY flat looking , shiny laminate, NO spine splits, only some very VERY minor evidence of tipping in to a couple of the corners, a small repaired nick to the lower opening edge this is almost INVISIBLE , NO annotations, and NO writing The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better most would grade higher - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
