Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Leonard Cohen called "The Songs Of Leonard Cohen" and is an ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Textured' CBS label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS LEONARD COHEN'S FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1967 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE, AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! AND PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 100% GENIUNE 1967 UK 1ST PRESSING - AND NOT ONE OF THE THOSE 'RE-PRESSINGS' SOLD AS A 1ST PRESSING (WHEN THEY ARENT!)!!!! TO BE A 100% GENIUNE UK 1ST PRESSING THIS LP MUST HAVE:-
1) A1/B1 MONO STAMPED MATRIXES (LATER ONES DONT!).
2) DISTINCTIVE 'TEXTURED' LABELS WITH A SMOOTH BORDER EDGE (THIS APPLIES TO 1967 ONLY - ANY WITH SMOOTH LABELS ARE LATER RE-PRESSINGS).
3) THE COVER IS 'SHINY' LAMINATED (IMPORTANT BECAUSE 'MATT' LAMINATION CAME IN IN 1969 AND THEN UNLAMINATED COVERS FOLLOWED IN 1970/71).
4) THE COVER HAS A LAMINATED FRONT AND AN UNLAMINATED BACK - IMPORTANTLY WITH AN UNLAMINATED SPINE. ANY WITH A LAMINATED SPINE DATE FROM 1969/70.
5) THE COVER MUST BE MADE BY 'E.J.DAY' AND PRINTED 'PATENT PENDING'. ANY WITH DIFFERENT TEXT ARE LATER RE-PRESSINGS.
6) THE 'CBS' LOGO IS JUSTIFIED TO THE EXTREME LEFT ON THE COVER FRONT (LATER MOVED IN A BIT), AND HAS NO 'STEREO' TEXT.

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! 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 nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, 2 or 3 ULTRA light hairlines, only 1 TINY surface mark, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some typical slight background sound in places (often found on this LP type)!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! 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 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, only very VERY light spinal wear, NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only a few light creases (mostly only TINY ones around the VERY edges - and the cover is still VERY flat looking indeed!), shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO rubbing (apart from an almost INVISIBLE wear trace at the VERY top!), NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY AS A 100% GENIUNE UK 1ST PRESSING IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
