Description

On offer here is a VERY rare DOUBLE LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Cream called 'Wheels Of Fire' and is an ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Polydor labels!!!! THIS LEGENDARY DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF CREAMS RAREST LPS EVER AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE POLYDOR LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE MONO!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE ON THIS DOUBLE LP!!!! BACK IN 1968 WHEN THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - VIRTUALLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING WAS MADE IN COMMON STEREO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE MONO AT ALL!!!! IN FACT, POLYDOR COMPLETELY PHASED OUT ALL MONOs ALTOGETHER VERY SOON AFTER THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - AND FROM THAT DAY ONWARDS THIS DOUBLE LP WAS ONLY THEN AVAILABLE IN STEREO ONLY!!!! AS A RESULT THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A MEGA RARE MONO 1ST PRESSING!!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF ON THIS PARTICULAR DOUBLE LP!!!! THIS LP WAS 1ST PRESSED WITH AN ULTRA FRAGILE 'SILVER FOIL' GATEFOLD COVER - AND MOST 1ST PRESSINGS LOOK ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE TODAY, WITH HEAVY RUBBING, RINGWEAR, AND OTHER DAMAGE. BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!! THE 'SILVER FOIL' MONO COVER ON THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND IS EASILY THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! NOT ONLY THAT - BUT BOTH RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL, AND ARE BOTH IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION!!!! )JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES - THIS DOUBLE LP IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS POLYDOR LABELS, 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MONO MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS MATCHING INNER SLEEVES, AND 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' GATEFOLD 'SILVER FOIL' MONO COVER!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Polydor UK 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in SUPERB condition!!!! The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 582 031/2 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Polydor Labels (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels on BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The records MUST grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! WHAT A SUPERB SET OF RECORDS!!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press matching inner sleeves which are in SUPERB condition!!!! The 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Gatefold 'Silver Foil' Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), barely ANY record impressions AT ALL, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, only 1 TINY and virtually INVISIBLE residue trace (NOT through the colour!), NO rubbing, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! SUPERB COVER!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
