PRETTY THINGS S.F.Sorrow LP 1968 MONO 1st Anywhere Issue
Uk Col SX 6306
Please note we will be adding a number of rock rarities over the next few weeks, on Thursdays and Sundays, add us to your favourite sellers list to see them.
This is the ORIGINAL Columbia UK 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in VG+ condition visually, playing excellent on a good mono cartridge. I have heard this on a mono and a stereo cartridge, there is very little loss of clarity on the high end Acutex stereo cart (about ex minus), a delight of a listen in an Ortofon Mono, slightly more solid Bass, a bit less surface also, as it is intended for mono playback, obviously (grading excellent with my cart). No skips, no warps. The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The only feelable mark is small and covers the run in grooves, clicking for about two revolutions only, and the music starts loud anyway, luckily. A longer stylus mark to the same side does not sound on either cart. The Cat. No is SX 6306 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Blue/Black Columbia label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing, which is apparently a preferable mix for overall sound. I can confirm this is incredible sounding, a nice big mono mix of a great Psych classic.
Spine is intact and clear to read, there are no tears or pen to the whole sleeve. It has an original EMI advert inner from the same year, and the lp is now stored in an antistatic inner and a new poly outer awaiting your payment. The sleeve had a price sticker and a few small bits of tape added as reinforcement on laminated areas, and they came away without damage, and I wiped the lot with sticky stuff remover, and removed that successfully also. There is a bend to the front top corner, this is the nearest thing to damage this sleeve has, so about excellent minus, VG++ if you were being harsh.
we send packed in hard card custom made new boxes. This one will be double boxed.

On 29-Aug-15 at 12:42:14 BST, seller added the following information:
I was asked about the matrices in the run out grooves. These show this to be first year first off the presses XAX 3738 -1 and XAX 3739 -1. Also the grey spots on the labels have wiped cleaner than in the pics.
Please note also, we expect you to pay within 4 days. Also do not expect a mint record in this instance. VG+ is below excellent, which is below Near mint.
