Description

Up for auction is the first edition of Traffic's Reaping LP. An original CANADA ONLY ALTERNATE COVER AND TITLE entitled "Traffic Reaping"on Stone / Island Records WI /S 4700, original Canadian Stereo pressing from 1967. Cover is VG with ring wear a name written at the top along with some light general wear as you would expect for a record of this vintage. The vinyl is nice VG+. A couple of light marks. Still lots of luster and clean.

The Story:
An incredibly Ultra Rare original Canadian pressing release by Stone Records of Canada Ltd. from Oshawa Canada and distributed in conjunction with Island Records.

This is the world famous CANADA ONLY ALTERNATE COVER that also features 3 alternate killer psychedelic rock  tracks not included in their 1st British LP release entitled "Mr Fantasy".  These 3 tracks are "Paper Sun", Hole In My Shoe" and "Smiling Phases".

A similar Ultra Rare version of this LP exists in the U.S.A. with the same alternate tracks but with another different  alternate title " Heaven Is In Your Mind / Mr.Fantasy "- but NOT this unique cover.
 
This original pressing had a very limited pressing run and was quickly replaced on the Stone label by "Mr. Fantasy" - without the alternate cover or the 3 alternate tracks.
Rumors persist that licensing agreements were not clearly met with all band members and that the production run was subsequently quickly withdrawn.
