ATTENTION JETHRO TULL+1960s PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND PINK ISLAND LABEL COLLECTORS!  

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 MONO ALBUM-THE VERY FIRST BY JETHRO TULL CALLED "THIS WAS" ISSUED IN THE EARLIEST DESIGN PINK ISLAND "BULLSEYE"/"CIRCLE LOGO"LABELS THAT ARE ALSO "ROUGH TEXTURED" UNLIKE MOST COPIES COPIE THAT SURVIVE WITH LATER DESIGNS AND OF COURSE HARDLY ANY COPIES SOLD IN MONO WHEN RECORD COMPANIES WERE KEEN TO STOP PRODUCING TWO DIFFERENT MONO/STEREO PRESSINGS WITH EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS ABLE TO SAFELY PLAY STEREO LPs. THOSE STILL STICKING WITH THE OLDER PLAYERS USUALLY DAMAGING THE FEW MONO COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD! THERE WAS NO MONO VERSION IN THE USA AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES! LOCATING A REALLY SUPER CLEAN COPY IN 2015 IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR THE BAND'S MOST PSYCHEDELIC STYLED EFFORT WHICH HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS! HOUSED IN THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WHICH HAS A VERY THICK SPINE-MUCH THICKER THAN LATER COVERS AND IS VERY CLEAN AND NOT DAMAGED LIKE MOST THAT TURN UP 47 YEARS LATER!

MOST COVERS TURN UP IN POOR CONDITION!

THERE ARE NO SPLITS,RIPS,WRITING STAINING OR REPAIRS!  JUST A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES AND VERY SLIGHT SURFACE WEAR AT THE FRONT.

THE DISC HAS JUST A FEW FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! 

NO CLICKS,STICKS,DISTORTION OR JUMPS!

STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION! ONE OWNER SINCE 1968!

CLEAN LABELS.NO SPINDLE WEAR.

This highly sought after album is from one of the best album collections I have ever bought in just over 28 years as a dealer!

The previous owner has been a collector for at least 45 years and there are more albums to follow in the collection that I will be offering for auction or set sale on ebay over the next few weeks and months!

Make sure you keep me in your favourites file or book in automated alerts so as not to miss out on LPs that are rarely seen on ebay or anywhere!

Some of the albums have never been reissued and of course are bound to increase in value.

As ever I will be grading strictly and providing any information required. KEEP WATCHING!!! 

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases played in  clubs or taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

An ideal opportunity to add a fine album in nice condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!

A LOW,REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE WITH NO ANNOYING RESERVE!

I WILL ONLY POST THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR ALTHOUGH PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY NORWICH SHOP AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
