Description
THE AYNSLEY DUNBAR RETALIATION - " DOCTOR DUNBAR'S PRESCRIPTION " , Liberty Records (LBL 83177) Mono, 1968.
Extremely rare, UK first Mono pressing LP of the classic debut LP by Dunbar.
A great electric blues album with rock and psyche tinges which is well known for being deleted almosta soon as it came out. This mono variant sold even less than the stereo equivalent and is now much rarer.
Original front laminated sleeve design, 'blue Liberty' label design and matrix numbers ending in A1 and B1, clearly marking this out as a first pressing.
Matrix numbers (and stamper numbers)
SIDE A = LBL 83177 A>1 420 (1 1 1)
SIDE B = LBL 83177 B//1>420 (1 )
Professionally cleaned on my Moth record cleaning machine and put in a new poly-lined inner sleeve (the original inner has been retained for originality- see photo)
CONDITION:
VINYL = V.G.+ (No deep scratches, groove damage, excessive surface noise, distortion, etc. Pretty clean labels with only light spindle trails - see photos. Under a strong direct light, this LP carries some paper scuffs and some light superficial surface marks. Generally, these are far too shallow to sound on playback and this LP actually plays a little better than it's cosmetic appearance would suggest - typical of well pressed 60s vinyl with it's lovely deep grooves! Generally the sound quality on playback is very good and strong, it's certainly not suffering distortion or muffling that you would associate with over playing, which correlates with the pretty clean labels. Saying that, as this record plays out it can't completely avoid it's cosmetic imperfections, there is a bit of occasional faint surface noise audible in some quieter and silent sections, plus the odd faint background crackle from time to time.
Certainly no archive copy/museum piece then, but to my mind these slight imperfections definitely do not completely ruin the listening experience and as long as you're expecting a a 60s record not some sterile CD reissue, it's still a good example or a very rare original LP. Ready to be enjoyed as originally intended and should sell for a more realistic price than the crazy values premium archive copies are now hitting.
Note: for the purposes of this listing I have tested this LP on my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable - generally this is quite a critical test, but I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable - common sense for most... but then this is ebay!!!)
SLEEVE = V.G.++ (No rips, no tears, no heavy creases, no defacing, or heavy ring wear, etc . Just marked down a fraction for some light normal wear to the edges and corners, a few smaller creases in the laminate and the back is a little grubby - see photos for further clarification)
