BRIAN AUGER,JULIE DRISCOLL AND THE TRINITY ''OPEN'' 1967 ORIGINAL 1ST UK PRESSING! CAT NO. 608002 'MARMALADE' LABELS ((STEREO))) BARELY PLAYED ORIGINAL 42 YEAR OLD! AWESOME TOP AUDIO THROUGHOUT! VERY RARE LIKE THIS! LOOKS AND SOUNDS BARELY PLAYED (YOU CAN STILL SEE THE PLASTIC IN THE SPINDLE HOLE!) RARE POP,JAZZ,ROCK,PSYCH

Here is another from my personal collection. A stunning original 1st (Stereo) 1967 pressing. The audio is stunning cristal clear and very vibrant throughout. Very rare to find like this, even more rare is the awesome condition of the very fragile cover, normally seen in a terrible state this is at least excellent. The vinyl visually looks like it has barely ever been played in my personal opinion, very few spider marks although there is some surface scuffs I can't see any audio sounding marks or scratches and  I certainly heard nothing that would detract from the awesome audio  experiance that I heard! This was cristal clear and very vibrant throughout without the usual background crackle so often heard on these 42 year old vinyls! Top Audio that I have graded at a minimum of excellent probably much better!

Brian Auger (born 18 July 1939, Bihar, India), is a jazz and rock keyboardist, who has specialized in playing the Hammond organ!!.

A jazz pianist, bandleader, session musician and Hammond B3 player, Auger has played or toured with artists such as Rod Stewart, Tony Williams, Jimi Hendrix, Sonny Boy Williamson, Led Zeppelin, Eric Burdon and others. He has incorporated jazz, early British pop, R&B, soul music and rock, and he has been nominated for a Grammy!

In 1965 Auger formed the group The Steampacket, along with Long John Baldry, Julie Driscoll, Vic Briggs and Rod Stewart. With Driscoll and the band, Trinity, he went on to record several hit singles, notably a cover version of David Ackles' "Road to Cairo" and Bob Dylan's "This Wheel's on Fire", which was featured on Dylan Covered. In 1969 Auger, Driscoll and Trinity appeared performing on the national telecast of "33? Revolutions Per Monkee".

In 1970 he formed Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, shortly after abandoning the abortive "Wassenaar Arrangement" jazz-fusion commune in a small suburb of The Hague. The Oblivion Express served to cultivate several musicians, including future The Average White Band drummers Robbie McIntosh and Steve Ferrone, as well as guitarist Jim Mullen. Likewise, in 1971 he produced and appeared on Mogul Thrash's only album. Two members of that band, Roger Ball and Malcolm Duncan, would also go on to form the Average White Band!!.

Auger toured with blues rocker Eric Burdon in the early 1990s, and recorded the live album Access All Areas with him in 1993. After several projects, including albums with family members, he reformed the Oblivion Express in the late 1990s, with a line-up that eventually featured both his son and daughter!!.

The Oblivion Express was revived with a 2005 recording and subsequent touring. The group featured Brian Auger, his son Karma Auger on drums, his daughter Savannah Auger on vocals, and Derek Frank on bass!!.

The Vinyl

This is the very thick and chunky original type of vinyl only found on the earliest pressings! The vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable. Visualy retains its sheen from new! In strong light some light surface scufs can possibly be seen which seem to have little if no effect on the audio that I could hear, I can see no deep needle or audio sounding marks.

The Audio quality

I have played this vinyl on a top system at very loud volume on a top system track for track. The first important thing to note, is that there is absolutely (no) distortion or signs that this has been overplayed what so ever! Very rare to find like this! The audio is cristal clear and very vibrant throughout indeed! I heard (no) loud clicks or pops even during the very quiet places any interfearance is very minimal indeedd. A very playable and enjoyable copy. I would grade the audio as at least excellent to excellent plus!

Audio Sumery

This plays without distortion very clear and vibrant even between tracks very quiet indeed! Superbe seperation. Unbeleivably rare to find like this after 42 years!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for the odd light static tick (not) consistant throughout the audio. Please remember that this is a genuine 42 year old vinyl that would have been played on a 42 year old system!

This vinyl has been stored in a case , laying dormant for at least 25 years or more. A build up of dirt and dust in the grooved causes static. A constant clean before each play is recomended! This will reduce any static crackle\ticks and enhance the audio quality!  

The Labels

These are the original 1st (textured) ''Marmalade' labels in awesome condition no real ware at all in fact there is only bare minimal spidering this hasn't been played a lot in my personal opinion.

The Cover

This is the original unlaminated 'Macneil Press Ltd' printed cover very strong and straight! These are so hard to find in this awesome condition. (no) creases at all that I can see very strong and straight without splits or tares. very very smal numbe '511b' writen at the rear top right corner barely noticable. just the very lightest of any storageware \rubbing only noticed if looked for! This must grade at least excellent if not better!  Genuine original!
