ATTENTION 1960s INSTRUMENTAL ALBUMS AND SHADOWS COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 STEREO 1ST EDITION OF THE 1ST SOLO LP BY THE SHADOWS DRUMMER BRIAN BENNETT WHICH INCLUDES 12 TRACKS-FANTASTIC INSTRUMENTALS WITH GREAT MUSICIANSHIP INCLUDING FELLOW-SHADOWS MEMBER JOHN ROSTILL,SESSION GIANTS-ALAN HAWKSHAW,JIM SULLIVAN AND JAZZ MUSICIAN-ALAN SKIDMOOR! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS ON THIS ESSENTIAL 1967 ISSUED LP HARD TO FIND ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION AND THE FIRST PRESSINGS HAD THE BLUE/BLACK LABEL DESIGN-LATER REPRESSES WERE SILVER/BLACK LABEL DESIGNS.

THIS IS A 1ST PRESSING ON THE EMI PRESSED COLUMBIA LABEL:SCX 6144 IN STEREO- MOST BUYERS OPTED FOR THE MONO EDITION WITH DEALERS USUALLY OBTAINING THE STEREO EDITION TO SPECIAL ORDER. IT HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES AND PRESSED ON VERY THICK,HIGH QUALITY,100% FLAT VINYL! BACK IN 1967,THERE WAS MINIMAL ATTENTION,PROMOTION AND SALES FOR THIS LP. LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK 1ST STEREO EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT AND THAT IS BEING MEGA STRICT! WOW! WHAT A FANTASTIC RECORD OF GENUINE UPGRADER STANDARD! IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.I STRUGGLED TO HEAR MUCH SURFACE NOISE AT ALL! CLEARLY A COPY THAT HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS IN 48 YEARS! A 1960s INSTRUMENTAL RECORD COLLECTORS DREAM COMING TRUE FOR ONCE!    STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! MOST WOULD STATE MINT!  NO SPINDLE WEAR.CLEAN LABELS WITH N O STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT WHICH HAS A FEW CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.    

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT AND THE DATE CODE 6711(NOVEMBER 1967). THERE ARE A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A TINY REF.NUMBER IN PEN AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WRITING,NO RIPS OR REPAIRS.VERY PRESENTABLE WITH EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS.

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE BEARING IN MIND IT'S SERIOUSLY RARE STATUS-ESPECIALLY IN THIS HEART STOPPING CONDITION FROM JUST ONE CAREFUL OWNER SINCE 1967! MORE GREAT AND SERIOUSLY RARE LPs FROM ME ON EBAY FOR AUCTION WITHIN TWO HOURS OF THIS AUCTION ENDING IN THE SAME STAGGERING STANDARD CONDITION!.

FOR PEACE OF MIND AND AS THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEND THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IN A SAFE,SOLID PARCEL BUT PERSONAL COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH IS WELCOME AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!  

Checkout my  feedback of over 18,000 comments of my standards and service many from some of the world's most respected collectors and dealers.Always adding quality Records, cd's and related items to ebay several times a week.
