ATTENTION 1960s PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM  COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 STEREO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) ESSENTIAL DOUBLE ALBUM BY MIKE BLOOMFIELD AND AL KOOPER:"THE LIVE ADVENTURES OF MIKE BLOOMFIELD AND AL KOOPER" WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE SET!.IT'S EASILY THE BEST SET I HAVE EVER FOUND AND HEARD IN 30 YEARS AS A DEALER. CBS S 66216 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A1/B1/C1/D1 MATRIXES AND THE CBS BOXED LOGO LABELS WITH VERY THICK VINYL. 

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CBS LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVES AS WELL AS THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WITH THE USUALLY MISSING GOLD STEREO STICKER. THE COVER HAS THE "PATENT PENDING" DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS SET.  NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE!  MOST BUYING LPs IN 1969 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY . MANY DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THIS DOUBLE LP TO SPECIAL ORDER! DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY HAD VERY CAREFUL AND MINIMAL USE IN NEARLY 47 YEARS!  LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1969 SET IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT.HARDLY ANY  SURFACE NOISE AT ALL! UPGRADER STANDARD TO BE SURE!. THE 1969 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REPRESSINGS. THE RECORDS HAVE NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! LOVELY THICK VINYL. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  THE COVER HAS JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! SUPERB!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND ALL OF THE LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

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!!!!
