Description

ATTENTION JETHRO TULL AND 1960s PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS!    HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 MONO ISSUE OF THE  DEBUT JETHRO TULL ALBUM "THIS WAS". THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING WITH THE PINK ISLAND "BULLSEYE" ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS AND THE EARLIEST DESIGN LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WHICH HAS A MUCH THICKER SPINE THAN LATER REPRINTS. PLEASE NOTE THIS LP IS NOT UP TO MY USUAL HIGH STANDARD AND HAS HAD A LOT OF USE WITH MANY SURFACE MARKS AND A FEW CLICKS (BUT NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE) AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A "GAPFILLER" COPY UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG BUT DUE TO ISLAND'S BRILLIANT LOUD,DEEP CUT MASTERING, THIS IS A DECENT SOUNDING COPY WITH CLEAR SOUND WITH NO JUMPS,STICKS OR LOUD SWISHES! VISUALLY STRICTLY GRADED AS GOOD++++ CONDITION AND IDEAL IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE SKY HIGH PRICES FOR A HIGHER GRADE CONDITION COPY BUT THIS IS NOT A TOTALLY TRASHED AND THRASHED EXAMPLE UNLIKE THE MAJORITY THAT SURVIVE AND MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS REALLY NICE ESPECIALLY IN THE SOLID MONO MIX-TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE MORE COMMON STEREO EDITION WHEN MOST BUYERS HAD SWITCHED TO BUYING STEREO EDITIONS! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE. THE GATEFOLD COVER'S VERY THICK SPINE HAS SHARP PRINTING-NOT FADED AWAY AS ON MOST EXAMPLES!  THERE ARE A SOME MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
