Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Pretty Things called "S.F.Sorrow" and is a 1969 UK Pressing on the ORIGINAL UK Columbia label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS EASILY THE PRETTY THINGS RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1968 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  THIS LP IS ALSO THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE - WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES EVER BEING MADE IN MID 1969 ONLY (SHOWN BY THE ULTRA RARE 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT ON THE LABELS - WHICH ONLY EVER LASTED A FEW WEEKS BEFORE IT WAS REMOVED!)!!!!

AND THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS PRESSED WITH THE FAR BETTER STEREO 1ST PRESS MIX!!!!  AND DESPITE MANY PEOPLE 'RAVING' ABOUT THE MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP, THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE LATE 1960s LP WHERE THE STEREO 1ST PRESS MIX IS INFINITELY BETTER THAN THE MONO VERSION!!!!  HAVING SPOKEN TO A BAND MEMBER MYSELF - I ALSO KNOW THE MAIN INPUT WAS PUT INTO THE STEREO MIX OF THIS LP (WHICH IS WHY IT SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MONO VERSION!) WHEREAS THE MONO WAS SIMPLY CONTRACTED OUT FOR PRESSING TO ISLAND (WHICH IS WHY MONOs HAVE 'TEXTURED' LABELS!) WHEREAS ONLY STEREOs WERE EVER PRESSED BY EMI/COLUMBIA THEMSELVES DIRECTLY FROM THE MASTERS!!!!  AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS A LATE 1969 RE-PRESSING, IT IS STILL INCREDIBLY RARE INDEED, STILL HAS THE 1ST PRESS MIX (WITH 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS!) - AND IS EVEN RARER THAN THE MONO 1ST PRESSINGS ANYWAY!!!!  AND WITH THE ULTRA RARE 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT ON THE LABELS - THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER - AS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK STEREO 2ND PRESSING ON THE 2ND PRESS SILVER/BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 STEREO MATRIX ENDINGS, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' GATEFOLD LAMINATED STEREO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Columbia UK Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is SCX 6306 on the ORIGINAL Columbia label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK Stereo Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has only 2 TINY surface marks, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, only a VERY few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 'E.J.Day' Gatefold Laminated Stereo Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (still FULLY Laminated!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, only 1 TINY 'age trace' on the opening edge, only 1 small area of laminate lifting in the EXTREME bottom left corner on the cover back, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, only 2 or 3 ULTRA faint 'age traces', and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
