UK PINK ISLAND MONO 1967 ILP 959

RECORD: EX to VG(+)

ON PLAYING THE SOUND IS EXCELLENT . Plays with some background noise ON QUIETER PARTS

Over all the record looks clean with a nice shine. Only few hairlines, also longer ones can be seen under very bright light. But nothing which avoids the good sound and not really to hear.

NO FEELABLE,DEEP SCRATCHES, SKIPS OR HANGS.

 In quieter parts here and there very  slight background noise can be heard  by playing very  loud.

 Overall I would grade the record EXCELENT. Plays 80 to 90% M- on my very good equipment.

HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION

 The labels are clean

The Story Of Simon Simopath is Nirvana´s debut album released by Island Recordsin 1967. It traces the story from life to death of the titular hero via a series of short songs which are similar in tone and innocence to the work of Mark Wirtz.

The certain level of 'obscurity' that the album has, makes it a classic for most fans. It was very highly acclaimed by critics making it one of the most important albums released in the psychedelic genre of the UK. Some people compare some of the arrangements to those in "Sgt. Pepper's", while others simply put it in a category all by itself because of the complex orchestrations.

The story deals with a boy named Simon Simopath who dreams of having wings. He is unpopular at school, and after reaching adulthood (in 1999) goes to work in an office in front of a computer. He suffers a nervous breakdown and is unable to find help in a mental institution, but gets aboard a rocket and meets a centaur who will be his friend and a tiny goddess named Magdalena, who works at Pentecost Hotel. Simon and Magdalena fall in love and get married, followed by a jazzy party.

"Pentecost Hotel" was released as a single with the non-album B-Side, "Feelin' Shattered'." "Wings of Love" was the next single, also with a non-album B-side, "Requiem to John Coltrane." "Girl in the Park," from the second album All of Us featured the B-side, "C Side In Ocho Rios," which is an instrumental version of "In the Courtyard of the Stars."

Grading :

M = Mint - as new

M - = Near Mint - very few, light signs or hairlines of usage that don’t affect play, little noise from a dust particle or using might be heard in blank grooves between the song, - the cover has only minor signs of wear.

EX = Excellent - some signs of usage, but very little lessening in sound quality – the cover might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG = Very Good - no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch - normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

G = Good - the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches - the cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

+ and - are used as appropriate.
