	£		19
	$		25

ATTENTION PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 1ST EDITION ALBUM: DEEP PURPLE:"THE BOOK OF TALIESYN" THAT FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND HAD LIMITED SALES-A STEADY SELLER OVER THE YEARS BUT MOST THAT SURVIVE ARE LATER REPRESSES!

EMI PRESSED HARVEST SHVL 751 WITH NO EMI BOX LOGOS,THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD RIM TEXTS AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE MATRIXES-A-1G/B-1G.

THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER PRINTED BY ERNEST J.DAY HAS THE 69-05(MAY 1969)DATE CODE-THE FIRST MONTH OF ISSUE-SOME BOOKS STATE JUNE 1969 BEING THE DEBUT WHICH SHOWS THIS TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED!

THE RECORD IS STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD  CONDITION DUE TO A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS AND POPS THAT ONLY LAST APPROX 15-20 SECONDS ON A COUPLE OF TRACKS AND SOME MOSTLY VISUAL SURFACE MARKS.THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DISC THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND THIS IS STILL A VERY NICE COPY! CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS!

HOUSED IN A LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WITH ONLY A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES.

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE CURVED EDGES INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED BUT I HAVE ADDED A HARVEST LPs ADVERTISING INNER FROM 1970 AS A BONUS!  THERE WAS NO HARVEST LPs INNER ON 1ST PRESSINGS BECAUSE SOME OF THE LPs ON IT WERE NOT RELEASED UNTIL 1970 WHICH OTHER SELLERS OFTEN OVERLOOK!

MOST COPIES SOLD 43 YEARS AGO IN 1969 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES EVEN PLAYED ON MONO ONLY EQUIPMENT IN ERROR AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD SOME PLAYS BUT IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE AND THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR! PLEASE SEE PHOTO #3 FOR ONE OF THE LABELS!

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

THIS 1ST ISSUE FROM 1969 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL AS WELL AS HAVING DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGNS AND DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

SUPERB STEREO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
