Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by MC5 called "Kick Out The Jams" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK Pressing on the Elektra label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS MC5's FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE RAREST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS LP DATES FROM EARLY 1970 (ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER RELEASE!) AND IS EVEN RARER THAN A 1ST PRESSING!!!! IT STILL HAS 1ST PRESS 'EKS 74042' CAT NUMBERS ON THE COVER, MATRIXES & LABELS - AND YET STRANGELY IT IS PRESSED ON THE BUTTERFLY ELEKTRA LABEL!!!! ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF COPIES CAN HAVE EVER BEEN MADE LIKE THIS (WITH 1ST PRESS 'EKS 74042' CAT NUMBERS!) - AS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 'BUTTERFLY' ELEKTRA LABELS WERE INTRODUCED, ALL THE CAT NUMBERS ON THE ELEKTRA LABELS WERE CHANGED TO THE VERY COMMON 'K SERIES' CAT NUMBERS WHICH WERE USED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s!!!! AND WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT STILL HAS A 1ST PRESS 'UNCENSORED' GATEFOLD COVER - WITH THE 'COMPLETE' SWEARING TEXT ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER!!!! AND THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE INDEED, AS THIS 'UNCENSORED' 1ST PRESS COVER WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DROPPED & CHANGED - WITH ALL LATER PRESSINGS HAVING THE VERY COMMON 'CENSORED' COVER (WITH NO INSIDE TEXT!) INSTEAD!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE RAREST UK PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER - BECAUSE ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK PRESSING ON THE 'BUTTERFLY' ELEKTRA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'EKS 74042' CAT NUMBERS (ON THE LABELS & COVER!), ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' GATEFOLD 'UNCENSORED' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Elektra UK Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is EKS 74042 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Elektra label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo pressing!!!!

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!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s 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 NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely ULTRA faint touches of MEGA low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT 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 inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Gatefold 'UNCENSORED' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear (apart from some virtually INVISIBLE traces of 'touching in'), NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, only a VERY small 'touched in' bit of wear towards the VERY top (this has been 'touched in' to virtual perfection and is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to notice!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
