THE BATTERED ORNAMENTS
MANTLEPIECE
RARE ORIGINAL UK PSYCH.
I AM OFFERING FOR SALE AT A VERY LOW START BID THIS INCREDIBLY RARE VINYL LP.
ORIGINAL 1969 HARVEST LABEL, SHVL 758 STEREO UK PRESS MATRIX A2 / B2.
SHOWN IN RECORD COLLECTOR, RARE RECORD PRICE GUIDE 2012 AT £200 BUT ON THE RARE OCCASION IT COMES UP FOR SALE USUALLY SELLS FOR A LOT MORE THAN THIS.
IN 50 YEARS OF COLLECTING I HAVE ONLY EVER SEEN 1 OTHER COPY OF THIS IMPORTANT ALBUM BY THE SHORT LIVED BAND BASED AROUND PRODUCER, POET AND WRITER PETE BROWN WHO HELPED CREATE THIS MIXTURE OF FOLK, BLUES, JAZZ AND PSYCHEDELIC ROCK, THE LINE UP INCLUDED NISAR AHMED KHAN, CHRIS SPEDDING, ROGER POTT, ROB TAIT AND PETE BAILEY.
I AQUIRED THIS RECORD MANY YEARS AGO AND I THINK THE PREVIOUS OWNER KEPT THE COVER TO FRAME, SO UNFORTUNATELY THE COVER IS LONG GONE, BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO ME WITH THE UNIQUE ART WORK DONE IN PASTELS THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, UNFORTUNATELY UNSIGNED AND IT WAS SO LONG AGO I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO HE SAID DID THEM BUT THEY ADD A UNIQUE TOUCH TO THIS RARE PIECE.
PETE BROWN OF COURSE IS NOTABLE FOR HIS COLLABORATIONS WITH CREAM, CO-WRITING MANY OF THEIR SONGS.
THE STORY GOES THAT BROWN AND SPEDDING WERE AT ODDS WITH EACH OTHER AND THE DAY BEFORE THE BAND'S APPEARANCE AT THE ROLLING STONES FAMED HYDE PARK CONCERT BROWN WAS FIRED AND HIS VOCALS WERE ERASED FROM THE TRACKS TO BE REPLACED BY SPEDDINGS.
NO WARPING TO RECORD, PLAYS NICE AND FLAT WITH SOME CRACKLES AND POPS ON THE QUIETER PARTS ESPECIALLY END OF TRACK 2 BUT SOUND STILL QUITE GOOD FOR A RECORD THAT IS 42 YEARS OLD. SOME SURFACE MARKS TO VINYL BUT PLAYS THROUGH OK.
A RARE PIECE OF MUSIC HISTORY UNFORTUNATELY INCOMPLETE WITHOUT IT'S COVER BUT DOES COME WITH THAT UNIQUE ART WORK AND IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION.
WILL BE POSTED FROM UK IN A PROPER RECORD MAILER WITH STIFFENER FOR PROTECTION BY FIRST CLASS SIGNED FOR POST.
CAN POST WORLDWIDE BUT WILL BE REGISTERED POST HENCE THE HIGHER COST.
PAYPAL PAYMENT PREFERRED AND ALL OVERSEAS PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL PLEASE.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE AS I CAN ONLY REFUND IF IT IS DAMAGED OR NOT TO DESCRIPTION.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK BUT I THINK I HAVE DESCRIBED THE BEST I CAN.
DUE TO THE ABOVE I WOULD GRADE THIS RECORD AS VG OR EVEN VG+ ON VISUAL INSPECTION.
A REALY LOW START BID SO GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.
