	$		102

On offer here is a very VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Cream called 'Fresh Cream' and is a 1966 UK 'Earliest' 1st pressing on the 1st Press Reaction labels!!!! THIS LP IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE AS A GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  THIS LP WAS PRESSED WELL INTO THE EARLY 1970S - AND MANY COPIES DATE FROM THIS ERA.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  THIS IS A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING AND HAS SOME EXTREMELY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES WHEN COMPARED TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  AND IN FACT (SEE BELOW) THERE IS ONE VERY IMPORTANT INDICATOR ON THE RECORD OF THIS LP THAT LITERALLY SHOWS IT THE VERY FIRST LP EVER TO ROLL OFF THE PRESSES!!!!  IT IS ALSO IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!  BELOW I WILL EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHY THIS LP IS SO MASSIVELY RARE. 

FIRSTLY THIS LP IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING AND DIFFERS GREATLY TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN THE VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES.  FIRSTLY THIS LP HAS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS (LATER PRESSINGS DONT)!!!!  SECONDLY THIS LP HAS MASSIVELY THICK 'SQUARE EDGED' VINYL (LATER PRESSINGS ARE MUCH MUCH THINNER)!!!!  THIRDLY THIS LPS MOTHER & STAMPERS ARE THE EARLIEST EVER MADE - BEING 1111 & 1111!!!!  FOR THOSE YOU DONT KNOW WHERE THESE MOTHER AND STAMPER CODES ARE ON REACTION LPS - THEY APPEAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MATRIXES.  SO IN FULL - THE MATRIX NUMBERS AND MOTHERS ARE: 594001 A//1 1 1 1 1  & 594001 B//1 1 1 1 1!!!!  AND THIS MAKES THIS LP THE EARLIEST EVER 1ST PRESSING AND QUITE LITERALLY THE FIRST OFF THE PRESS!!!!  THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND WITH THESE MATRIXES AND MOTHERS & STAMPERS AND IS SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  AND LASTLY THIS LP HAS A VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE ON THE REAR OF THE COVER (SEE PICTURE) AND SHOWS VERY CLEARLY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS EVER!!!!  MOST STEREO PRESSINGS OF THIS LP ARE LATER PRESSINGS (NOT THIS ONE OF COURSE!) AND HAVE A PARAGRAPH ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHICH STATES 'THIS STEREO RECORD CAN ONLY BE PLAYED ON MONO REPRODUCERS....  ETC ETC'.  THIS PARAGRAPH WAS INTRODUCED IN THE LATE 1960s ON ALL REACTION LPS (INCLUDING DISRAELI GEARS - WERE IT APPEARS IN A WHITE BOX) AND MOST STEREO PRESSINGS HAVE THIS PARAGRAPH AND SHOW A LATER PRESSING.  BUT THIS MEGA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING HAS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' STYLE OF COVER WITH THE WORDS '594 001 STEREO' IN A VERTICAL LINE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE REVERSE - SHOWING A GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING (LATER PRESSINGS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE HAVE A PARAGRAPH IN ITS PLACE)!!!!  

AND ALL THESE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DETAILS ABOVE MAKE THIS LP ONE OF THE RAREST POSSIBLE VERSIONS OF ANY CREAM LP!!!!  AND THIS IS BECAUSE THIS LP IS PRESSED IN STEREO!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED VIRTUALLY NO 1ST PRESSINGS WERE EVER MADE IN STEREO (VIRTUALLY ALL WERE MONO) AND THIS MAKES THIS LP SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  LATER STEREO PRESSINGS FROM THE LATE 1960S & EARLY 1970S ARE EASY TO FIND - BUT FINDING A GENIUNE STEREO 1ST PRESSING WITH ALL THE 1ST PRESS DETAILS GIVEN ABOVE (FOR COVER & RECORD) IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!! 

THIS IS THE 1966 UK 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS REACTION LABELS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' MATRIXES, 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' MOTHER & STAMPER CODES, AND 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS LAMINATED 'PATENT PENDING' E.J.DAY STEREO COVER WITH NO PARAGRAPH ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A GENIUNE 1966 'EARLIEST' STEREO 1ST PRESSING WITH THESE MEGA RARE DIFFERENCES - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is a UK Reaction 1st STEREO pressing from 1966 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on MEGA THICK quality vinyl (MUCH thicker vinyl than ANY later stereo pressing). The Cat. No is 594 001 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Blue Reaction Label (see picture) and is a UK STEREO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Cream at their best!!!! Any fan of Cream, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, NO staining and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, 1 light NON sounding hairline, only 2 or 3 MEGA light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The record plays with CRYSTAL CLEAR sound quality with NO groovewear either and NO distortion!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!!  The MEGA RARE 1st Press STEREO Laminated E.J.Day 'Patents Pending' 1st Press Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, some VERY light spinal wear (NO nasty heavy 'fluffy' wear and NO splits), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, barely ANY grubbyness AT ALL (MEGA rare on this cover), NO wear, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO yellowing (again MEGA rare on this cover)!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND (ESPECIALLY IN STEREO!!!!) AS A GENIUNE 1966 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING - DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
