Description
Welcome to Across the Tracks Music Store on eBay
This listing is for a Progressive Rock vinyl Album from 1968 entitled
The Book of Taliesyn
By Deep Purple
Catalogue number: SHVL 751
The record label is EMI Harvest
The Track listing is as seen in my photographs
Please note the following details, so you are happy with the specifications before bidding:
This LP is released by EMI Records (S.E.A) PTE Ltd.
S.E.A stands for South East Asia
It also shows E.M.I (HK) Ltd
E.M.I (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD
So it was presumably manufactured by E.M.I for the Hong Kong, Malaysia and other South East Asian countries.
Could this be one of the Military releases during the Vietnam War to personnel? I honestly am not sure.
I have not been able to find any details for this release.
It is certainly a rare release but it is not an album Made In the UK or Europe or USA.
The album has a gatefold sleeve, with some nice mono shots of the band.
Inside the record sleeve states the following:
E.M.I Records (S.E.A) PTE Ltd / E.M.I. (HK) Ltd / E.M.I. (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.
The Gramophone Company Ltd" detail is in circular print on the label
Printed by Times Litho Publicity (Pte) Ltd.
EMI Boxed logo and Harvest boxed logo as shown.
Barcode and Other Identifiers:
Matrix / Runout: SHVL 751 - A
Matrix / Runout: SHVL 751 - B
I hope that this information will be of assistance to you
when deciding to bid or purchase.
The vinyl is in excellent condition.
I can grade it Excellent for sure
The sleeve is probably in VG condition only.
It is fine inside the gatefold where the mono pictures of the band are printed.
The front cover is fine but has a small name written in ink. It is hard to see but it is by the EMI Harvest logo.There is also a small letter "o" in the same pen higher up. I thought it was part of the artwork at first.
There is some corner point wear which is usually seen more so on a sleeve like this one, which is just cardboard and not shiny laminated.
The spine unfortunately has rubbed away quite a lot.
The back panel is clear of any names or stickers but the white parts are a little grubby, mainly with the record imprint.
So I felt VG only for the sleeve was the best I could grade it.
This is a classic 70s album featuring the line up of
Blackmore, Lord, Simper, Evans and Paice.
