Sea Shanties
A Rare Rock Masterpiece !!!!
WHEN IT COMES TO MUST HAVE ALBUMS, THEN THIS ONE HAS TO BE TOP OF YOUR LIST !!!! THIS IS SHORT LIVED BAND, 'HIGH TIDE', FROM NORTHAMPTON ENGLAND, AND THEY ONLY MADE TWO LP's IN THEIR SHORT TIME FROM 1969 TO 1970, AND THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS THEIR FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM, RELEASED IN OCTOBER 1969. THIS  HAS TO BE IN MY TOP TEN FAVOURITE ALBUMS, OF ALL TIME, AND THEIR MUSIC IS A BLEND OF, HARD PROG PSYCH ROCK, AND MUST BE ONE OF THE HEAVIEST ROCK ALBUMS EVER PRODUCED !!!!

THIS WAS ONLY RELEASED ON THE FIRST PRESS DARK BLUE, LIGHT BLUE LIBERTY LABEL FOR A VERY SHORT TIME, BEFORE BEING REPRESSED ON THE BLACK LIBERTY LABEL !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS  :: LBS 83264  A//1   11 1  ::  LBS 83264  B//1   11  .

ON THE FIRST PRESS DARK BLUE / LIGHT BLUE LIBERTY LABEL  ::  LBS 83264 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY MacNEILL PRESS Ltd, LONDON, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. AS THE OUTSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS CREAM IN COLOUR, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION, DUE TO THE COLOUR AND THE AGE, SO THIS ONE HAS SOME AGE RELATED MARKS AS AGAIN SEEN IN THE PHOTOS. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS BEAUTIFUL AND STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL VIBRANT COLOURS, AND WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .

VINYL :: PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS, AND WILL BE DIFFICULT TO BETTER, AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW....

THERE IS JUST A LIGHT POP ON THE DEAD WAX RUN IN ON SIDE 2, AND ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO, NO STATIC, CRACKLE, CLICKS, TICKS, POPS, SKIPS, STICKS, OR JUMPS, SO AN AUDIO TREAT ALL ROUND !!!!

VISUALLY, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW HARMLESS, COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW SMALL HARMLESS COSMETIC HAIRLINES, SO MORE OF A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND NO WAY AN AUDIO EFFECT, AND IF YOU DID NOT LOOK AT THE VINYL YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THEY WERE THERE, AND YOU CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE AUDIO, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS :: JUST A FEW SMALL FAINT SPINDLE LINES  :: EX .

ORIGINAL 1969 POLYLINED INNER  ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, BUT AS WITH THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE AGE RELATED MARKS, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG .

WELL I MUST ADMIT, I NEARLY PUT THIS ONE BACK IN MY COLLECTION, BUT GOOD NEWS FOR SOMEONE, AS I DECIDED TO GIVE SOMEONE ELSE THE PLEASURE OF LISTENING TO IT, SO HERE IT IS, AND IT PLAYS OUTSTANDING AND IS FULLY COMPLETE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
