Description
**RARELY SEEN *ACTUAL' UK 1ST PRESS IN MONO (MUCH RARER THAN THE LATER STEREO PRESSING)**
***PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IN FULL***
THIS (VG) COPY HAS FLAWS BUT THE PRESSING IS SO RARE THAT FOR A COLLECTOR IT IS A PLAYABLE GAP FILLER UNTIL A TOP COPY (AT TOP PRICES - UP TO £450) CAN BE AFFORDED! IT WAS MY GAP FILLER!
THIS IS A COLOSSAL WORK AND A SEMINAL ALBUM BOTH FOR ROCK AND FOR CREAM THEMSELVES. THE ALBUM CONTAINS THE MASSIVE HIT SINGLES 'STRANGE BREW' AND 'SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE'.
**THE REALLY IMPORTANT BITS**
MANY SELLERS STATE THEIR COPY IS AN 'ORIGINAL COPY' BUT DONT HAVE ALL THE CRITERIA FOR THIS TO BE TRUE (AS BELOW - THIS COPY DOES HAVE):
1ST UK MONO PRESS: FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE: A1/B1 MATRIX:
MCPS CREDIT ON SIDE 'A' LABEL (DIRECTLY BELOW THE WORD 'CREAM')
LABEL MISCREDITS TO WINDFALL MUSIC (SIDE 'A' INSTEAD OF 'IMMEDIATE') &
APPLE PUBLISHING (SIDE 'B' - LATER PRESSINGS SAY 'APPLE PUB').
CORRECT 1967 DATES ON BOTH LABELS: TRACK B2 SHOWN IN UPPER CASE (SWLABR)
BACK OF SLEEVE HAS 'MONO 593 003 IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND THE REACTION LOGO BOTTOM LEFT WITH: MANUFACTURED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY POLYDOR RECORDS Ltd LONDON. (FOLLOWED BY) PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co Ltd, LONDON W.11. PATENT PENDING.
GRADINGS:
VISUALLY INSPECTING THE VINYL:
THE LP HAS NOTICABLE MARKS ON SIDE 'A' (SEE PICS) HOWEVER THESE LOOK WORSE THAN THE ALBUM PLAYGRADES AT. BOTH SIDES HAVE SCUFFING/SURFACE MARKINGS.
PLAYGRADING THE VINYL:
I'D GRADE SIDE 'A' AT VERY GOOD OCCASIONING AT VERY GOOD MINUS WITH OCCASIONAL NOTICABLE LOW TICKS AND SOME BACKGROUND STATIC.
SIDE 'B' PLAYGRADES AT VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT WITH ONLY THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT TICK AND SOME BACKGROUND STATIC YOU'D EXPECT ON A VERY GOOD GRADE.
THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS EITHER SIDE.
THE SLEEVE:
THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE FRONT AND BACK VISUALLY GRADE AT VERY GOOD PLUS/PLUS WITH NO LAMINATE PEELING EITHER SIDE. HOWEVER THERE IS A TOP SEAM SPLIT AND A SPINE SPLIT (SEE PICS) FOR WHICH I WOULD DROP THE OVERALL GRADE TO VG-
THE LABELS:
BOTH LABELS GRADE AT VERY GOOD PLUS WITH NO TEARS, WRITING OR STICKERS.
FROM A PET AND SMOKE FREE HOME. STORED UPRIGHT IN A HIGH QUALITY POLY SLEEVE.
Description: The record has obviously been played many times and may have occasional light ticks and some background noise but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite scuffing and non deep scratches.
