Description

On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Free called 'Ton Of Sobs' and is a VERY rare 1969 stereo Pressing on the Island 'Block' logo!!!! THIS IS BY FAR THE RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP!!!! BARELY ANY COPIES OF THIS LP WERE PRESSED ON THIS VERY SHORT LIVED ISLAND LABEL AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE LP TO FIND ON ON ANY OF THIS EARLIEST ISLAND LABELS - BUT THIS LABEL HAS TO BE BY FAR THE RAREST!!!! THIS IS A MEGA EARLY 1969 PRESSING WITH THE RAREST 'BLOCK' ISLAND 'TEXTURED' LABEL, AND A GATEFOLD 'E.J.DAY' COVER!!!! DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MASSIVELY RARE 1969 PRESSING!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Island UK pressing from 1969 and is in GREAT condition and MASSIVELY RARE!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is ILPS 9089 on the ORIGINAL 'Block' logo Island label (see picture) and is a UK stereo Pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Free at their best!!!! Any fan of Free, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition and plays brilliantly!!!! 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 NO scratches, only 2/3 hairlines, 1 non sounding scuffline, and only some general light paper scuffing only visible under bright light!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL (only a slight amount right at the beginning of Side 1)!!!! There is NO distortion either and NO groovewear - just STUNNING crisp sound!!!! The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!! IT IS MEGA HARD TO FIND THIS LP ON THIS RARE ISLAND LABEL!!!! DO NOT MISS OUT!!!! 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 comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve!!!! The Gatefold E.J.Day 1st Press Cover is in great condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from a slight area of 'roughening' - but this is NOT through the colour), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! The inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The only fault with the cover is some typical light general rubbing to the cover front - though there is MUCH less rubbing on the cover back!!!! The cover is also has a few light creases (mainly 'half moons' near the cover opening) - but these have NOT affected the cover colour and are VERY difficult to see!!!! The cover has NO major faults (NO tears, NO splits, NO staining, NO writing, NO water damage, etc) and must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!! DONT MISS THIS OUT ON THIS BRILLIANT LP!!!!
