GRAHAM BOND SOUND OF 65 COLUMBIA UK R&B MOD JAZZ LP

	£		124
	$		164

This LP is getting very difficult to find. 

It's on the UK Columbia label and is by The Graham Bond Organization. It's entitled 'The Sound of '65' and was released in 1965. The music encompasses jazz, rhythm and blues, beat and early psych influences and features Graham Bond, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Dick Heckstall-Smith.   

It's a mono recording and the catalogue number is 33SX 1711. It's pressed on the original blue/black UK Columbia label.   

OUTER SLEEVE - The flipback sleeve which is laminated on the front is in fine condition with some minor wear, ring wear and creasing but is, otherwise in great condition. The rear of the sleeve shows some discolouration and slight marking and wear but, considering the album is 43 years old it's in outstanding condition, in my view. The flipbacks are not damaged in any way but I think they've been cleaned up and there is some minor wear next to the spine flipback wear the rear sleeve has been rubbed. It states in the top right hand rear corner '33SX 1711 RS A Robert Stigwood Production'. It states in the bottom right hand rear corner '6503 Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending 33 SX 1711'. The edges and spine are in supereb condition with almost no wear. The wording along the spine is 100% readable. I've graded the sleeve Ex--.  

INNER BAG -  This is the original polythene lined die cut paper type  which states 'Important - TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR...ETC'. There is a white sticker on each side with blue fibre tip pen writing on each.  

RECORD - The record is in fine condition considering its age. It appears to have been played quite a few times. There are some superficial marks on each side throughout but these don't affect the playing quality of the record. It plays through really well on both sides with some minor surface noise and one or two pops and clicks on both sides. There are no jumps on any of the tracks on either side. 

LABELS - The labels are black with the blue and black Columbia music note logo at the top and the word 'COLUMBIA' in blue. The wording is silver in colour. It states 'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS`. Under the catalogue number on the right of the label it states - (A 'Robert Stigwood' Prod.). On the left side of each label the matrix numbers (XAX 2784 on side one and XAX 2785 on side two) are printed.  There are spindle marks on both sides around the hole and the record has been well played. The labels are in fine condition with no damage. The matrix numbers on the run-off grooves are - side one - XAX 2784-1N (stampers 1    R) - side two - XAX 2785-1N (stampers 1    G with a crossed out 2 underneath this). On the left side of the spindle hole on side two there is a raised letter 'K' which I understand is a tax code. I've graded the record as Ex-- which I believe is very fair.

I try to grade everything very conservatively and I believe that the winner of this auction will not be disappointed. I guarantee everything I sell. It will be difficult to find this record again.

THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS ITEM.
