Nirvana - All of Us
I am pleased to offer for sale the second studio album by English psychadelic rock band, Nirvana, titled: All of Us.
After the critical success of their first album, considered one of the first true 'concept' albums, the musical duo of Campells-Lyons and Spyropolous were afforded the studio time to further explore their sound. The result, "All of Us", is perhaps best described by the long form title:
"The existence of chance is everything and nothing while the greatest achievement is the living of life, and so say ALL OF US"
I could not say it better myself. With lyrics that delve into the meaning of 'everything and nothing', quite literally, 'All of us', perhaps more than any other album, epitomises the psychedelic sound and sentiment of swinging London in the late 60s. In doing so, the album is able to transport the listener back to that unique time and place where ideas were new and minds were open.
This particular copy is a simply stunning 'final upgrade' example of a true German produced UK first pressing that would make a fantastic addition to any record collection. 

Album Details:

Serial number: ILSP-9087

Matrix number: + A / + B

Mother & stamper codes: N/A 

The matrix numbers inform us that the vinyl is a true UK first pressing. Consequently, the audio reproduction is simply fantastic. Take a listen yourself below. 

The labels are the first variant pink eye Island labels.

The fully laminated sleeve is the first variant. 

Completing the album is the origina ‘plastic bags can be dangreous’ polythene line, die-cut inner sleeve.

Condition Report:

The condition report provided below is given as a guide only. I include high-quality, comprehensive photographs as well as a complete audio recording in my listings to enable you to make an informed decision on the condition of this record yourself.

Vinyl: MINT -

Labels: MINT -

The labels are bright, clean and without writing. No spindle wear is visible.

Visual: MINT -

The record retains immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are blemish free in bright daylight. Under the glare of a halogen desk lamp wispy paper hairline marks can be seen alongside an iridescent rainbow sheen. Truly fantastic.

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT + 

Please use the eBay internet site to enjoy the audio clips. The eBay app does not facilitate playback.

Side 1:

Side 2:

As can be heard in the audio clips, the vinyl sounds simply stunning. Both lead-ins are quiet. Minimal static can be heard in between tracks. There is great channel separation, superb clarity and exceptional dynamism. Truly a final upgrade.

Sleeve: EXCELLENT 

The original sleeve looks superb! Both the front and rear are bright and clean. The cover art is vibrant and is without any sign of discolouration. The corners are sharp. The spine and edges are without wear. The only clue of the age of the sleeve is a small laminate bubble near the spine and very minor ring wear. Irregardless, a lovely example.

Inner Sleeves: EXCELLENT 

The original inner sleeve is in great condition.

Additional Details:

Before the audio test was performed the vinyl was cleaned first by an Okki Nokki vacuum cleaner (using L'art du Son cleaning solution) and then an Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner.

After cleaning, the vinyl is housed inside a brand new mobile fidelity anti-static inner sleeve.

The vinyl will be packaged outside of the sleeve, both of which are stored inside an archival quality polypropylene outer sleeve.

The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
