Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

SOUGHT AFTER...Original 1966 vinyl pressing ***MONO*** 45 + years old COLLECTIBLE
The rare & wanted by collectors MONO issue contains not only different song mixes from the stereo version but a bold punchy production unlike the stereo that suits the sounds of the sixties nicely....
....arguably the BYRDS best album, their liftoff into the psychedelic scene!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Gene Clark left just as the Byrds were to start recording their 3rd album. He disliked pop stardom and especially flying...so, the rest of the band moved on and developed into a raga folk psych band, departing from their straight folkrock sound of 1965.
'Eight Miles High' is an early and glorious psychedelic masterpiece. And, it is a masterpiece, from start to finish. So much so, it still sounds absolutely thrilling and contemporary even today. That bass riff, that 'raga' see-sawing amazing guitar, the lyrics... David Crosby and Roger McGuinn 'finished' the song after Gene Clark left, adding to the song so it eventually became a rare but true collaborative writing effort. The rest of the album flows in the hip groove sounds of the sixties, including 'I See You' which fits into the same sort of mould as 'Eight Miles High'. David Crosby's 'What's Happening?!?!' sports perfect lead vocals with great guitar parts from McGuinn to 'answer' the questions posed by David lyrically - a lovely song. The singles 5D and 'Mr Spaceman' are both entertaining and quirky, although hardly in the same league as 'Eight Miles High'. Still, to finish the album we have a lovely version of 'John Riley' which features good Byrds harmony work. The whole record, almost without exception, actually 'sounds' great. It's a fine album and Gene Clark's loss had been overcome -- an achievement considering how much he'd dominated their early original material.

CONDITION: The Cover: The dark cover usually shows shelf wear easily, especially after 45 years (!), this copy is VG++ = still nice considering the dark cover, having just a light shelf wear starting on front while the group photos back cover has some light shelf wear starting = otherwise very crisp and solid all over...there are no seam splits, no bends, no writing...a MONO first pressing of a legendary important Lp. Has a small original old store price sticker on bottom right of back cover!
The Vinyl: both sides of the record are real shiny "EX" (excellent) ...in the original Columbia Records issued inner sleeve....
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
