Description
Signed 1965 Graham Bond Organisation - The Sound of 65 LP- Columbia 33SX1711 - XAX2784-1/XAX2785-1 - Mono. All original record, cover and inner sleeve from 1965, in generally fair condition. The back of the outer cover has been signed by Graham Bond, Ginger Baker, Dick Heckstall-Smith and Mike Falana, who had replaced Jack Bruce in a 1966 band revamp. This was done for me, in front of me, at a function in Luton Tech at some time between 1967 and 1969. I was involved in the running of dances there at that time, so I can verify these signatures as genuine. In addition to the signatures, there is some annotation on the cover, inner sleeve and record. There are some wear marks on the front face of the cover, where the disc has been in place, and also there is wear to the corners and edges. All the joined edges are intact and the spine is just about readable. Although the laminate on the front is creased in places towards the open edge, it is not broken and the colours are clean and bright. The rear face is a bit grubby and discoloured with age, but the print is clear, undamaged and readable. This might not be the original inner sleeve, but it is certainly of the same vintage as the disc and outer cover. There are sellotape repairs to the top corners of both sides and one bottom corner. The original clear plastic liner is still in place, with a small strip of sellotape locating it at the top on one edge. There are creases in the corners of the inner sleeve. The inner sleeve has some discolouration due to age. Record plays very well on all tracks with good definition. There is nothing that sounds to me like a scratch on either side of the disc. There is background crackle to varying degrees on both sides, but mainly between tracks. There is some scratches and scuffing visible on both sides of the vinyl, but this does not seem to affect the sound quality on most tracks. This is why I have rated the disc Good. This LP has only ever been cleaned with soap and water, so I believe it would definitely benefit from a deep clean. The outer sleeve is in a plastic cover to protect the signatures, which are perhaps the main interest point of this LP. My LP collection has been stored upright in boxes for some years mostly without being played, so now I am disposing of my record collection because of downsizing. Happy to combine postage. Tracks on this album are as follows:
Side One:
1. Hoochie Coochie 2. Baby Make Love To Me 3. Neighbour Neighbour 4. Early In The Morning 5. Spanish Blues 6. Oh Baby 7. Little Girl
Side Two:
