                                                DESCRIPTION

ARTIST:                              THE YARDBIRDS

TITLE:                      “OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN”

PRESSING:              1966 Original “FIRST” Pressing MONO LP featuring Jeff Beck

CATALOG #:           EPIC  LN 24210

LABELS:                   Superb “Yellow” labels with EPIC in black at top.

Comments:                Extremely SCARCE LP to locate with pristine vinyl. The MONO version of this album includes the “lost” Jeff Beck lead guitar work on the tracks "Hot House" and "Lost Woman", which were mysteriously absent on the subsequent Stereo version released by EPIC !!

                                                CONDITION  ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)

COVER:                    VG++

Comments:                Very clean “pastedown” cover displays sharp vivid colors with No marks or writing, No seam splits, No creasing, and No bar codes on this “original” cover. Ever so slight surface/ring wear, a small barely noticeable and perfectly round bullet hole in the upper left corner (see photograph) are the only minor flaws and mentioned for accuracy. This is a relatively clean cover for this particular release considering the amount of “white” used for both sides of the cover.

VINYL:                      Strong NrMT

Comments:                Full original gloss vinyl with just a few minor rubs and insignificant faint hairlines (No scratches) seen under bright light from sliding in and out of the original inner sleeve. The vinyl has been play tested and plays beautifully throughout the recording.

INNER SLEEVE:    Original and correct “Yellow” paper inner sleeve sometimes used by EPIC for releases during the mid to late sixties. The inner sleeve is in NrMT- condition with No seam splits, which is amazing for a nearly 50 year-old sleeve to this classic album.

Comments:                Original MONO pressing copies are extremely difficult to locate in such pristine condition! LP features all original Yardbirds material including “Lost Woman”, “I Can’t Make Your Way”, “Jeff’s Boogie”, “What Do You Want”, and the title track “Over Under Sideways Down”.
