MEGA RARE!! LOCOMOTIVE LP. Original 1970 UK.
“We are everything you see”.
Very earliest FIRST PRESSING!!
Up for auction is this extremely rare album which is quite rightly regarded as Norman Haines’ great masterpiece. This album is of course one of the most sought after of the rarest psych/prog period. DON’T MISS THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A GREAT PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY!!
This album has of course been played and shows some light indiscretions both to the outer cover and the vinyl. BUT, I must stress that these anomalies are only slight and the sounds are quite superb. Well, it is Norman Haines so that goes without saying.
COVER: is VG+ with original flip back sleeve, with no stains or names upon its glossy front surface. Small exception; a label had been attached to the front at some time in its distant past and thus has been removed which has also removed some laminate and a small trace of the original picture. This however has been latterly coloured in quite cleverly, otherwise the cover has a lovely gloss with no other indiscretions except for a few light laminate wrinkles. Therefore a very strong VG+.
VINYL: Just a couple of light scuffs or faint stylus marks are present which do not affect the superb quality of play. Still retains its just pressed glossy sheen and is perfectly flat with no warps, skips or jumps. Graded: a very strong VG+.
LABELS: Superb one-boxed EMI logo labels with only some traces of spindle sheen on both. Lovely examples.
MATRIX NUMBERS: YEX 757 -1U
YEX 758 -1U
STAMPERS: SIDE ONE - G
SIDE TWO - 1G
INNER SLEEVE: Correct EMI advert sleeve. EX+ no writing or seam
Splits.
AUDIO: VG++/EX. As you might expect, stunning sounds from Mister Haines’ masterpiece. An odd crackle here and there, but nothing serious or obtrusive on the ear. Just simply brilliant!! Far, far better than the strict visual grade given.
To sum up. This album is of course not mint, but is still deserving of a good home and should not be ignored, if only for its rarity value alone. But forget all that nonsense, the sounds are superb and truly classic.
This rare album does not surface very often, so don’t miss out. Grab yourself a large slice of great musical history - and enjoy!!
BEST OF LUCK. AND HAPPY BIDDING.
