Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Love Sculpture called "Forms And Feelings" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS EASILY THE RAREST LP ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - ONLY 200-300 COPIES ONLY WERE EVER MADE ON THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, BEFORE THE LABEL FORMAT WAS DROPPED FOREVER!!!!  AS RESULT 99% COPIES OF THIS LP WERE PRESSED ON THE LATER SILVER/BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS INSTEAD (AND ARE VERY COMMON INDEED!)!!!!  BUT FINDING AN ULTRA RARE UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!! 

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!   THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FULLY LAMINATED COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Parlophone UK 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  The Cat. No is PCS 7090 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  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 only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, 2 or 3 VERY small (but visible) scufflines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, 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 great to find that 99% of the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, only a VERY few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!   However, although it doesnt look terrible - 1 of the TINY marks in the middle of the 1st Track on Side 2 does unfortunately cause 2 jumps - though this is hardly a big defect as the rest of the LP plays VERY well indeed!!!!  Now normally I wouldnt list a record with jumps - but this LP is so very VERY rare with Yellow & Black Parlophone labels - that its sheer rarity alone makes it very VERY sought after indeed!!!!  And indeed, the rest of the LP plays VERY well indeed - so this really is a VERY minor detail!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  Without the 2 jumps mentioned above - this record would EASILY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and I will leave it to the winning bidder to decide how much the detail above drops the grading!!!!  STILL A VERY PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE OF A VERY VERY RARE RECORD!!!!  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 also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Patents Applied For' Advertising inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' FULLY Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the laminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, only 1 TINY indentation, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND WITH YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS (WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE ONE?) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
