Description
A genuine UK pressing of Cream's Disraeli Gears — one of the most iconic psychedelic album covers ever produced, and the genuine first-issue mono variant collectors specifically seek out.
Details:
- Artist: Cream
- Title: Disraeli Gears
- Label: Reaction
- Catalogue No: 593 003
- Country: UK
- Year: 1967
- Matrix: 593003-A1 (Side 1) / 593003-B1 (Side 2)
Features:
- First-press publishing credits intact — labels show "Windfall Music" and "Apple Publishing," the miscredits unique to the earliest pressing before they were corrected to "Immediate Music" and "Apple Pub. Ltd" on later copies
- A1/B1 matrix stampers — confirms this is from the true first run of plates for this title
- Original Martin Sharp fluorescent gatefold artwork — one of the most celebrated sleeve designs of the psychedelic era
- Full gatefold interior with complete printed tracklist and credits
- Complete 11-track tracklisting: Strange Brew / Sunshine of Your Love / World of Pain / Dance the Night Away / Blue Condition / Tales of Brave Ulysses / SWLABR / We're Going Wrong / Outside Woman Blues / Take It Back / Mother's Lament
Condition — VG+/VG+
- Sleeve: VG+ — light handling wear consistent with age, no major damage
- Vinyl: VG+ — clean and plays great, a genuinely nice-sounding copy of a true first stamper
This is a genuinely excellent example of the true first-issue mono pressing — copies with the correct Windfall/Apple miscredits and A1/B1 matrices are considerably harder to find than later corrected pressings, making this a strong find for collectors.
Please review all photos closely, as they form part of the description. Any questions welcome before purchase.
