JOHN MAYALL?S BLUESBREAKERS 1968 ?BARE WIRES? FIRST PRESSING (1W STAMPER CODES) STEREO VINYL LP IN LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE


Sleeve Condition: Ex+: given the delicate, single card, flimsy nature of the gatefold, the sleeve is in remarkably good condition.  There is some record ringwear to rear and a tiny bit of laminate lifting just next to the spine.  However, the laminate is has not split and the overall the sleeve, notorious for being easily damaged, is in excellent condition and free from previous owner?s names, marking, writing, stickers, defect or damage. 


Record Condition: NEAR MINT: the record is free from marking or scratches with a fine, shiny, as new bloom to the vinyl.  It has clearly been played very little and has been well cared for.  It plays flawlessly throughout.  A stunner!

First pressing, ZAL 8340 1W and ZAL 8341 1W stamper codes in the dead wax.

A lovely, scarce copy in about the best condition one is likely to find. 

This is just one of a collection of ?60s and ?70s rock and soul LPs that I am currently listing on Ebay.  Please check out my other listings over the next few weeks.  I shall be listing new records every day.

This album and these Bluesbreakers mark the beginning of a new journey for me in 1968 -- impossible to speak too highly of the musical contributions from the revised personnel -- only one thing left to say -- This is my story so let this music be my true voice.
-- John Mayall, 1968
