JOHN WILLIAMS
SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM
1967 COLUMBIA SX 6169 BLUE / BLACK LABELS
FIRST AND ONLY UK PRESSING OF THIS MAJOR UK FOLK RARITY
AN EXTREMELY RARE COPY OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER ITEM . JOHN WILLIAMS (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE CLASSICAL GUITARIST) ONLY ALBUM, FROM 1967 RELEASED ON THE COLUMBIA LABEL.
HARDLY SOLD A COPY WHEN ISSUED AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARED WITHOUT TRACE.
THERE IS ALMOST CERTAINLY SOME JIMMY PAGE INVOLVEMENT ON PRODUCTION AS TWO OF THE TRACKS GIVE CREDITS TO JAMES PAGE MUSIC./IMMEDIATE. ALL 16 SONGS ARE WRITTEN BY JOHN WILLIAMS.
NICE CLEAN BLUE / BLACK LABELS WITH VERY MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR.
MATRIX NO.S XAX 3437 - 1 / 3438 -1
1G / 1G WITH GRAMMOPHONE TEXT AROUND LABEL PERIMETER
A NICE LOOKING THICK PRESSED VINYL. SOME SURFACE MARKS AND SMALL SCRATCHES ARE VISIBLE UNDER LIGHT . I HAVE PLAYED IT THROUGH AND IT SOUNDS LOVELY. THERE IS SOME BACKGROUND AND A FEW CLICKS IN PLACES. THERE IS A SINGLE SKIP TOWARDS THE END OF THE FIRST TRACK. ITS DURING ONE OF THE INSTRUMENTAL PASSAGES AND IS NOT TOO INTRUSIVE. VISUAL AND AUDIO GRADING IS GOOD.
THE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE COVER IS IN GREAT SHAPE. ALL FLIPBACKS ARE INTACT ALTHOUGH THEIR EDGES HAVE ACCUMULATED A BIT OF DIRT. A COUPLE OF TINY CREASES ON THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER AND NEAR TO THE SPINE. THE SPINE ITSELF HAS A BIT OF MINOR RUBBING BUT ALL TEXT IS INTACT AND FULLY READABLE. THE OPENING EDGES HAVE ALSO BROWNED A LITTLE. THERE IS A BIT OF GENERAL WEAR AND DISCOLOURATION ON THE BACK PANEL BUT NOTHING OF MUCH SIGNIFICANCE. SLEEVE NOTES WRITTEN BY JULIE FELIX. THE ORIGINAL 1967 INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. OVERALL GRADE FOR THE COVER IS EASILY VERY GOOD+.
THIS IS A REALLY NICE COPY OF A FOLK RARITY THAT IS VERY HARD TO FIND. CHECK OUT THE PICTURES. I TAKE THEM FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES SO YOU CAN SEE THE ITEM IN ITS ENTIRETY.
WORLDWIDE POSTAGE IS AVAILABLE BY RECORDED DELIVERY
