GORDON SMITH  LONG OVERDUE MONO 
ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS , WITH EX ELECTRIC, DELTA BLUES AUDIO !!!!

THIS IS THE BRILLIANT, GORDON SMITH WHO IS AN ELECTRIC BLUES MUSICIAN AND SINGER, WHO IS FROM SOUTH SHIELDS IN ENGLAND. THIS IS A VERY RARE UK 1ST PRESS RELEASED IN 1968 ON THE BLUE HORIZON LABEL, AND IN MONO. IN THE 1970'S HE WAS A MEMBER OF, KEVIN COYNE'S BAND. THIS PLAYS SUPERB WITH A FEW FAINT TICKS, NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE SO A GREAT LISTEN, AND I WILL EXPLAIN MORE BELOW. THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND BRILLIANT BLUES ALBUM !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST MONO PRESS  ::  7-63211  A1  ::  7-63211  B1 .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER  ::  1 A  ::  1 A .

ON THE BLUEHORIZON LABEL :: M7-63211 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS MONO FRONT LAMINATED, PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co, Ltd,. LONDON W.11. THE LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT, JUST SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES AND A COUPLE OF LONGER LAMINATE CREASE LINES IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, AND THE BACK HAS NOTHING TO REPORT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THIS VERY CLEAN AND SOLID MONO ORIGINAL  :: EX- . 

VINYL :: PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND ALSO NO STATIC, OR CRACKLE, BUT THERE ARE A FEW FAINT TICKS, NOTHING NASTY OR INTRUSIVE, SO THEY DO NOT SPOIL THE AUDIO. DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM, AND VINYL, I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION, AND OF COURSE WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED PLAYS SUPERB.

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: HAS A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE AND TWO FAINT TICKS A LITTLE FURTHER ON .

SOUNDS A LOT BUT IT IS NOT A LOT REALLY IF YOU GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN, AND THEY ARE FAINT, NOT INTRUSIVE, AND THERE IS NO STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED PLAYS SUPERB.

VISUALLY LOOKS REALLY NICE AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY TINY SPOT MARKS, WITH TWO BEING VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE. AS I MENTIONED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS REALLY NICE, AND HAS A LOVELY SHINE !!!!

SO FOR THAT ALL IMPORTANT AUDIO GRADE, AND AS THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE ON THE AUDIO, I COULD HAVE GRADE EXCELLENT, BUT TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE AUDIO GRADE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX/EX- . 

LABELS   :: LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

INNER :: WITH NO WRITING, WITH A SMALL SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A SMALL TEAR, AND A CREASE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: GOOD . 

SO ANOTHER ORIGINAL BLUES CLASSIC WHICH PLAYS REALLY WELL, WITH SOME FAINT TICKS AS YOU HAVE JUST READ. COMES COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL COVER AND INNER, AND CERTAINLY A RARE BLUES MONO ORIGINAL NOT TO MISS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE !!!!

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
