A SUPERB MANFRED MANN LP"AS IS"

-VERY RARE IN STEREO AND AS GOOD AS THIS!!

ONE OF THE BANDS BEST EVER  LPs FEATURING THE PRODUCTION OF SHEL TALMY AND MOST OF THE SONGS WRITTEN BY BAND MEMBERS!

AN EXCELLENT MIXTURE OF STYLES,POP,ROCK,BLUES,JAZZ AND EVEN TOUCHES OF THE EARLY PSYCHEDELIC INFLUENCES FROM THIS INTELLIGENT GROUP!

TERRIFIC THICK PRESSING WITH ONLY THE VERY FAINTEST OF SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT,VERY QUIET SURFACES AND THIS 1ST PRESSING 1966 LP IS RARELY SEEN IN STEREO!

MOST BEAT FANS OF THE MID 1960s WERE STICKING WITH MONO AND THAT EXPLAINS WHY OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS I CANNOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I FOUND A STEREO COPY!

THERE IS A LOVELY WIDE STEREO SPREAD OF SOUND MISSING IN THE MONO MIX AND OF COURSE GIVES YOU THE FEELING YOU ARE ACTUALLY IN THE STUDIO ITSELF!!

SO OFTEN LITTLE TOUCHES ARE"LOST"IN THE MONO MIX!

SERIOUS COLLECTORS WILL REQUIRE BOTH THE MONO AND STEREO EDITIONS!

NEAR MINT CONDITION!

THE FIRST DECENT COPY TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN MONTHS IN STEREO,POSSIBLY YEARS FROM A RELIABLE POWER SELLER AND LONG TERM COLLECTOR!  

THICK PRESSED FONTANA BLACK LABEL STL 5377 + 1Y//1 + 2Y//1 MATRIXES.

A SUPERB EXAMPLE THAT HAS SOME ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS,AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER!

 44 YEARS LATER IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION,LET ALONE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

THE MAJORITY WERE PLAYED ON RADIOGRAMS,PORTABLE PLAYERS AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES,THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AND WILL BE HARD TO BEAT!

THE COVER SOME TINY EDGE CREASES,BUT NO RIPS,NO WRITING,NO REPAIRS etc.

******************************************** 

A  1960s BEAT GROUP COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR AN LP OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS ONE AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THOSE THAT DID WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY-THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.

 THE BEST COPY I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS AND I AM SURE THE FIRST I HAVE EVER SEEN IN STEREO.

CHECK OUT YOURS SEE IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL UPGRADE?

IF NOTHING ELSE, A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THIS IS GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE THICK PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

The STEREO mixes are Superb and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those  LP days OF 44 YEARS AGO!

In the 1960s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

The MID 1960s STEREO equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies after all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear MANFRED MANN and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.

MOST AROUND ARE THE MONO EDITIONS!!! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!  

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £20 STARTING price . 

HARDLY ANY  LPs OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THEY ARE.DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT SELLS QUICKLY.

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER AND RARE  LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
