THE GRAHAM BOND ORGANIZATION

THERE'S A BOND BETWEEN US.

UK COLUMBIA SX 1750 MONO 1965.
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC AND ONE OF THE MAIN CORNERSTONE RECORDINGS OF THE EARLY BRITISH BLUES MOVEMENT. WITH AN INCREDIBLE LINE-UP OF GINGER BAKER, JACK BRUCE, DICK HECKSTALL-SMITH AND CROWLEY MEISTER GRAHAM BOND.
EVEN TODAY THIS ALBUM SOUNDS SOLID AND INNOVATIVE WITH WHAT SEEMS A HEAVY LOOPED PERCUSSION SECTION A BLAZING SAXAPHONE AND BOND AT THE HELM WITH HIS MELLOTRON.
A GROUNDBREAKING AND VERY RARE ALBUM, REPUTED TO BE THE FIRST COMMERCIAL RECORDING FEATURING THE MELLOTRON.

 Vinyl:  VG++ to EX. I have played this in full> There are NO jumps, NO clicks and NO sticks!!!Even under an intense light it looks great with only a few wispiest of hairlines.  The audio is stunning all the way and this album sounds fantastic and was totally underrated at the time.

Labels: EX+.  Has the KT tax code embossed. Lovely labels with light spindling. NO writing, NO marks!!!                    

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! This album hardly sold at all. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Psych/Blues/Prog crossover albums are far and few between and only produced in a small time window between 1965 and 1971.  This album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price. How many would be left??? But in this great condition ....? Golddust!!

Important :International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 41.00.  Postage to Italy will be recorded at any final auction price. This is due to the totally unreliable Italian postal system. Sorry to all my Italian collector friends. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
