**RARE* MONO FIRST PRESSING ON ORIGINAL RCA VICTOR LABEL RD-7889
*SEE IMAGES FOR MATRIX INFO
*SEE IMAGES FOR TRACK LISTING
*NOT MANY FOR SALE, PLEASE CHECK OUT DISCOGS FOR INFO AND PRICE GUIDE
*Vinyl has lots of surface scuffs/marks and has clearly been played. It does not jump but does have some background noise as might be expected on a used disc of this age. Actual sound quality is rather good despite this. However, rarity is a factor and I think most buyers will have a playable copy (as said, this IS playable and enjoyable - I'm being critical).
Labels are fine with some spindle marks.
This has a plain inner which is a little faded.
Laminated (front) cover has some feathering at opening edge. Not serious.
Reverse has a number written on. There is some 'rubbing' along top and there are a few creases too....none of this is serious and the cover is sound, all text clear. Grubby is all, really!
***PLEASE SEE PHOTOGRAPHS***
*This will come supplied with a new poly lined inner sleeve and clear album cover.
It will be packed in a quality mailer and stiffeners used appropriately with the disc safely removed from sleeve.
Combined postage a pleasure where possible.
Please ask if you require further information or photographs I'm happy to help.
*INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ARE WELCOME
*THANKS FOR LOOKING!

'Surrealistic Pillow is the second album by American rock band Jefferson Airplane, released on February 1, 1967, by RCA Victor(LSP-3766 [stereo] and LPM-3766 [mono]). It is the first album by the band with vocalist Grace Slick and drummer Spencer Dryden. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard album chart and has been certified a gold album by the RIAA.
Original drummer Alexander "Skip" Spencehad left the band in mid-1966. He was soon replaced by Dryden, an experienced Los Angeles jazz drummer and the half-nephew of Charlie Chaplin. New female vocalist Slick, formerly with another San Francisco rock band the Great Society, joined the Airplane in the fall of 1966. Slick, Dryden, male lead vocalist Marty Balin, guitarist-vocalist-songwriter Paul Kantner, lead guitarist (and occasional vocalist) Jorma Kaukonen, and bassist Jack Casady formed the core of the best-known line-up of the group, which remained stable until Dryden's departure in early 1970.
The album is considered to be one of the quintessential works of the early psychedelic rock and 1960s counterculture eras.'
