Description
ANOTHER FINE VINTAGE RECORD FROM MY PERSONAL ARCHIVE. OF COURSE ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR AUCTION. THIS IS THE FANTASTIC 1967 UK VERY FIRST & EXTREMELY RARE MONO PRESSING OF I THINK THE BEST EVER PSYCHADELIC ALBUM. I HAVE OWNED THIS SINCE 1984. THIS IS THE VERY EARLIEST MONO UK PRESSING AVAILABLE (WITH NO 'Popular Pop Groups' text on the back of the cover). RECORD SX 6157 with matrices XAX 3419-2 and XAX 3420-1. THESE ARE THE ABSOLUTE VERY EARLIEST MATRICES. VISUALLY SIDE ONE IS IN EX OR CLOSE TO EX CONDITION. LOOKS FINE. VISUALLY SIDE TWO IS IN VG(+) CONDITION. SIDE ONE PLAYS OK. THERE ARE HOWEVER A FEW MICRO SKIPS ON SIDE TWO. RIGHT AT THE START OF THE FIRST TRACK, SIDE TWO (INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE) THERE ARE TWO MICRO SKIPS. ALSO TWO MICRO SKIPS ON THE FINAL TRACK (BIKE). THERE IS A SMALL & LIGHT NEEDLE MARK AT THE START OF INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE & A SMALL SURFACE MARK TOWARDS THE END OF THE FINAL TRACK, BIKE WHICH CAUSE THESE QUICK SKIPS . VISUALLY THE VINYL LOOKS OK. It is NOT covered in hairlines and marks, Just the odd mark. SOUND IS OK BUT WITH A LITTLE DISTORTION IN SOME PLACES. OVERALL THE SOUND IS VG+. THE ERNEST J DAY COVER (LAMINATED FRONT/ UNLAMINATED BACK) IS IN NICE CONDITION, EX OR NEAR EX. NOT BAD AT ALL. HAS THE MONO TEXT. THERE IS A SMALL NAME ON THE BACK OF THE COVER, 'Brian'. OVERALL VG TO VG+ VINYL & Nr EX COVER. NOT ONE FOR THE PERFECTIONIST BUT NOT BAD. SEE THE PHOTOS & JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
It has an old inner sleeve but NOT THE ORIGINAL ONE,price lowered for this,but is a common inner sleeve you can find on another contemporany emi lp...
