This is a listing for an ULRA RARE ORIG psych/rock holy grail release!! - Legend/same

I can confidently say - You certainly will not be able to find another of these on offer easily, thats for sure. This is an ORIG BELL label release, with A-1 & B-2 on the run out. Not a re-press. 1969 psych rock genius! a FANTASTIC & EXTREMELY RARE L.P. Similar to finding golddust in now 2012. Over 40 years in age & still sounding awsome.

Released in a miniscule press, and withdrawn from any further press very quickly down to a lack of sales. How many of these exist today is anyones guess?? never seen another myself.

Here below is a run down of whats on offer.....

Condition overall :

Positive - The vinyl is a beauty, played & tested all the way on both sides on a proper system...Blew me away. Top audio copy with no ingrained dust, VERY clean in appearance. No - warping of the disc, skipbacks, needle thrash, scratched marks, dents, or pops, ticks, background hiss etc. Examined under extreme bright white light (halogen bulb) this is spotless. A few wispy hairlines. BUT this is being highly critical on my part. A nicer all round example of an ORIGINAL 1969 (over 40 years old) will be IMPOSSIBLE to find. For this to have survived today in 2012 is beyond belief.

You will not be dissapointed. Very nice original gloss to the vinyl. Gleams in natural daylight & under intense light. Scrutinised & tested properly. This if out of a 100% percentage recieves 100%. Its so difficult to find this in such a better condition (it would make your head hurt) hope I've just made it all the more easier for you. Make no mistake an ORIGINAL of this record is IMPOSSIBLY RARE> Do your own research & you'll find out why, if you don't already currently know.

Take a look at the extra large photographs provided below. Item is as appears & no effects have been added. If I could have for this listing I would have provided some soundbites from the actual record. I will have this set-up soon. Take it from me this is sounding LOUD & CLEAR.

The cover :

Is a VG++ rate. No ripping or tear, no damp or ringwear, no loosing of the flipback cover. A Garrod & Lofthouse design. just a good few signs of crease to the laminate clarifoil. Has to be expected (unless this was locked in a vault for years) most of these will have been totally trashed & played at partys etc. This one has survived well enough to offer. The spine at the side is still intact also with no rip or record push. Out of 100% 70% no damp or smell, no handwritten names etc.

The labels :

Are the BELL label original. These on both sides happen to be pretty impressive. No ripping or tear no handwritten names, although there were a couple of stickers on each side. Note : these have been removed and have left NO residue. Although stupidly the prior owner had for some reason drawn around the sticker with a biro pen!!! so an overall look of 90% out of 100% still perfectlly acceptable to offer you. All of the detailed info, song titles etc, are perfectly clear. A few minor issues really, but nothing to serious.

For your info if you are a new buyer - I have sold many rare & sought after records to a lot of happy people. So do not miss your oppertunity to own this holy grail psyched out monster. Hope you realise just what this is? not a re-press but an original and highly collectable record indeed. These are GONE from sight. Over 40 years in age & still sounding amazing. The tracks are superb & a very welcomed and enjoyable listen. 100% Perfect audio.

>> Grading of Items

All items are graded conservatively according to Record Collectors Grading System Record Collectors Grading system

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
