HI WELCOME TO MY AUCTION, CREAM DISRAELI GEARS, REACTION 593003. MONO.
THIS LP NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION. CLAPTON, BAKER AND BRUCE ON THEIR BEST FORM EVER WITH MOST OF THEIR BEST SONG WRITING AND MUSIC ON ONE ALBUM, AND 'THAT' SLEEVE A MASSIVE 60'S ICON AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNISABLE TODAY.
THIS PARTICULAR COPY IS TRUE FIRST UK MONO PRESSING AND VERY VERY RARE.
THE VINYL ITSELF IS VERY THICK WITH A SQUARE EDGE, MUCH THICKER THAN ANY LATER PRESSINGS,
THE LABELS ARE ALSO ROUGH TEXTURED, ONLY THE VERY FIRST PRESSINGS HAD THESE LABELS.
THERE ARE TWO PUBLISHING MISCREDITS ON BOTH ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS OF THIS RECORD, SIDE ONES LABEL AT 6 O'CLOCK TRACK 3 IS CREDITED TO 'WINDFALL MUSIC' THIS WAS VERY QUICKLY CHANGED TO 'IMMEDIATE MUSIC'
ON LABEL SIDE TWO AT 6 O'CLOCK TRACK 4 IS CREDITED TO 'APPLE PUBLISHING', THIS MISTAKE WAS QUICKLY CORRECTED TO 'COPYRIGHT CONTROL'.
ALSO AT 9 O'CLOCK ON THE SAME LABEL THE DATE IS '1967' THIS WAS LATER CHANGED TO 1966.
ONLY A TINY HANFULL OF THESE FIRST PRESSINGS OF THIS RECORD HAD THESE MISTAKES, MAKING THIS COPY VERY,VERY RARE.
THE E J DAY & CO SLEEVE IS LAMINATED FRONT AND REAR, THE TRACKLISTING CENTRE/REAR IS SPLIT INTO BLACK TEXT FOR SIDE ONE AND WHITE TEXT FOR SIDE TWO, LATER COPIES WERE ALL BLACK TEXT.
THE REACTION LOGO IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER IS IN WHITE, LATER COPIES WERE IN BLACK
VERY RARE.
ESPECIALLY IN THIS EXCELLENT CONDITION.

PLEASE READ THE GRADING DESCRIPTION BELOW.

LABELS.
