BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND East West 1966 UK ELEKTRA 1st *MONO* SUPERB SOUND

THE BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND
East-West

1966 UK ELEKTRA (EKL 315) FIRST *MONO* ISSUE
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL (163g) WITH TEXTURED ORANGE ELEKTRA LABELS WHICH CARRY THE "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1966" STATEMENT
MATRIX: EKL 315 A / EKL 315 B
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL USA PRINTED THICK CARD SLEEVE "Record made in England by Elektra Records (UK) Ltd."
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIE-CUT INNER SLEEVE

A pivotal record, paving the way for rock/blues experimentation that is still being explored today.
This came in the form of an extended blues-rock solo (some 13 minutes) -- a real fusion of jazz and blues inspired by the Indian raga.
This groundbreaking instrumental was the first of its kind and marks the root from which the acid rock tradition emerged

Side 1:
Walkin' Blues (3:15)
Get Out Of My Life, Woman (3:13)
I Got A Mind To Give Up Living (4:57)
All These Blues (2:18)
Work Song (7:53)
Side 2:
Mary, Mary (2:48)
Two Trains Running (3:50)
Never Say No (2:57)
East-West (13:10)

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels with light/moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and apart from some harmless in-vinyl pressing blemishes, are practically unmarked
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Even thought this copy has seen a few spins it has clearly been well cared for and only played on top quality equipment.
The sound is crystal clear, deep, rich and incredibly immediate and on playback at volume I found nothing to fault - no groove-wear or distortion and no clicks or pops - sounds sensational - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+
Good and solid with no structural damage but there is a bend through the middle - nothing particularly distracting (please see close-up photographs)
