	£		70
	$		93

ATTENTION BLUE HORIZON LABEL AND BLUES/ROCK COLLECTORS!

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST MONO EDITION OF THE SECOND CHICKEN SHACK ALBUM:"O.K.KEN?"

NOW AS FAR AS THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE IS CONCERNED ONLY A STEREO VERSION EXISTS BUT THIS COPY I HAVE LISTENED TO VERY CAREFULLY AND I AM CONVINCED IT IS A MONO MIX AS THERE IS EQUAL SOUND ON EACH CHANNEL AND THE MATRIXES HAVE AN "M"IN FRONT OF THE NUMBER!! M7-63209 A1+M7-63209 B1.

THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE MATRIXES!

A PATENTS APPLIED FOR INNER SLEEVE!

I HAVE NEVER FOUND ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE AND EVEN THE MOST BASIC STEREO RECORDINGS OF THE LATE 1960s HAD SOME KIND OF "STEREO FEEL"TO THE SOUND-AND OF COURSE CBS/BLUE HORIZON WOULD USUALLY ADD A STEREO STICKER OR AT LEAST SOME MENTION OF IT ON THE COVER OR THE LABELS-NOT ON THIS EXAMPLE WHICH ALTHOUGH THERE IS THE STANDARD STEREO RECORDS CAN BE PLAYED WORDING INSIDE,I THINK THIS IS MERELY AN OVERSIGHT BY THE RECORD COMPANY!

THERE IS A STEREO COPY ON EBAY AT THE MOMENT WHICH CLEARLY HAS THE STEREO LOGO AND THE LITTLE ARROW TYPE DESIGN ON THE LABEL-MY COPY DOES NOT HAVE THIS AT ALL!

PLEASE SEE PHOTO 3 FOR ONE OF THE LABELS!

PLEASE COMPARE YOUR EXISTING COPY IF YOU HAVE ONE!

IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE FEW COPIES MADE THIS WAY AS DON'T FORGET CBS WERE ONE OF THE FIRST COMPANIES TO RELEASE ONLY SELECTIVE RELEASES IN MONO/STEREO SEPERATE ISSUES AFTER 1968.

EVEN IF THIS OF NO IMPORTANCE TO YOU,THIS IS STILL A VERY NICE,EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE WITH JUST A FEW FAINT HAIRLINE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER!

THICK PRESSED"ROUGH TEXTURED"+A SUPER CLEAN LAMINATED GATEFOLD FRONT COVER.

JUST A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND NO WRITING,RIPS,REPAIRS OR STAINING!

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS!

THE FEW COPIES THAT WERE SOLD 44 YEARS AGO IN 1968 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED"LOOK! NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-ONLY VERY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR!

A COPY THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED, OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1968! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS!

NOTHING TO HIDE!

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

THIS LP ITSELF IS STRICTLY GRADED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY PRESSING!

THIS 1ST ISSUE FROM 1968 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
