CREAM
WHEELS OF FIRE MONO
ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS WITH 1,  11,  1,  11, IN THE RUN OFFS, SO STUNNING CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY ON THE AUDIO !!!!

ALSO SIDE 'C' AND 'D' HAVE TEXTURED LABELS, AND SIDE 'A' AND 'B' HAVE SMOOTH LABLES, AND THIS WAS ONLY ON THE VERY EARLIEST OFF THE PRESS, BECAUSE LATER 1ST PRESSES BOTH LABELS WERE SMOOTH, AND ALSO UNBELIEVABLY SIDE 'D' IS MISSING ALL THE BLACK TEXT OFF THE LABEL (PLEASE SEE PHOTO) MAKING IT EXTREMELY EARLY OFF THE PRESS, AND VERY RARE TO FIND !!!!
TIME FOR ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS, AND IT IS THE WORLDS FIRST SUPER GROUP, 'CREAM', WITH GINGER BAKER, JACK BRUCE AND ERIC CLAPTON, AND WHAT AN ALBUM IT IS, AND EVEN BETTER AS IT IS A DOUBLE ALBUM AND PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS, AND I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT AS THE AUDIO WILL ONLY BE BEATEN IF YOU HAVE A MINT, OR NEAR MINT COPY. THEY WERE FORMED IN 1966, AND THIS IS THEIR 3rd ALBUM, RELEASED IN AUGUST 1968, AND AWESOME, DOES NOT EVEN GET CLOSE TO DESCRIBING THIS WONDERFUL DOUBLE ALBUM. THIS CERTAINLY WILL BE A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968  UK ONE OF THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS  :: 582031  AV1  420   1  ::  582031  BV1  420    1 1    ::  582032  AV1  420  1  ::  582032  AV1  420   1 1 .

ON THE RED POLYDOR LABELS  :: 582031 / 582032 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL MONO SILVER FOILED, WITH BLACK PRINT GATEFOLD, WITH FLIPBACKS INSIDE THE INTERNAL COVER WHERE THE VINYLS GO, PRINTED BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co, Ltd,. LONDON, W.11. AS YOU MIGHT KNOW THESE 1ST PRESS COVERS ARE VERY DELICATE DUE TO THE SILVER FOIL, AND TEND TO GET DAMAGED, BUT THIS ONE, AS IT HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER, AND IS IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY BITS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ONLY, WITH THE SPINE HAVING NO ISSUES. THERE IS JUST SOME  FAINT RING WEAR, SEEN ONLY WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND NORMALLY THESE COVERS HAVE VERY HEAVY RING WEAR BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS THESE ARE VERY LIGHT. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD ALSO NO ISSUES, AND IT STILL RETAINS THE VIBRANT ORIGINAL COLOURS, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THIS LOVELY 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL MONO  :: EX- . 

VINYLS :: THE VINYLS LOOK AND PLAY FANTASTIC, WITH JUST CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO AUDIO, WITH NO STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND OF COURSE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS. 

ALL I HEARD WAS JUST THREE VERY FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 1.

ON SIDE 2, JUST TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1, AND TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 2 AND 3, SO NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO.

SIDE 3 AND SIDE 4 PLAY WITH NOTHING TO MENTION.

VISUALLY JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AS AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYLS LOOK LOVELY WITH A NICE SHINE. THE AUDIO TRULY AWESOME, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE TO MENTION, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY IMPRESSIVE  :: EX+/NEAR MINT .  I WOULD SAY SLIGHTLY MORE TOWARDS EX+ !!!!

LABELS :: NO ISSUES :: EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNERS :: NO SPLITS OR WRITING, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING AND SOME LIGHT CREASING AND A VERY TINY TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE ON ONE INNER ONLY :: VG+ .

WHAT AN ALBUM, AND ONE OF THE EARLIEST OFF THE PRESS, AS YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ ABOVE !!!! IT PLAYS LIKE A DREAM AND CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT, AND ONE ALBUM NOT TO FORGET ABOUT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
