ROCK MUSIC HAS A FEW UNSOLVED DEBATES . LENNON OR McCARTNEY ? BEATLES OR STONES ? NOT FAR BEHIND THAT , THE DEBATE ABOUT MONO OR STEREO MIX FOR SF SORROW IS STILL PENDING !!! WHILE THE BAND CLEARLY PREFERS THE MONO MIX AND THINK IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO LISTEN TO THIS LP , ROCK FANS ARE STILL UNDECIDED . OFTEN , COLLECTORS WOULD END UP OWNING BOTH MIXES !!!


I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COME ACROSS ANOTHER MONO ORIGINAL UK PRESS OF SF SORROW FROM 1968 , COLUMBIA EMI ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS , MONO MIX WITH ORIGINAL TEXTURED LABELS , FLIPBACK GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN NICE CONDITION . IN ORDER FOR YOU TO MAKE YOURSELF AN ACCURATE OPINION , I DECIDED TO RECORD BOTH SIDES ON ONE SOUND SAMPLE AND TAKE PLENTY OF BIG SIZE PICTURES OF THE SLEEVE AND THE VINYL . OF COURSE IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO SEE SOMETHING MORE OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS , I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM .


THE SLEEVE IS LOOOKING LOVELY , IT IS , OF COURSE , THE ORIGINAL , FULLY LAMINATED ( FOR THE OUTSIDE GATEFOLD ) FLIPBACK MONO SLEEVE MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & CO.LTD LONDON . THE FRONT SLEEVE HAS A FEW LIGHT LAMINATION CREASES , THE MAIN ISSUE IS A BIGGER CRESE ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER ( PLEASE CHECK PICTURES ) . THERE IS A BIT OF LIGHT CORNER WEAR . NICE TOP AND BOTTOM SEAM AS WELL AS SPINE ( READABLE AND CLEAN ) . NICE CARDBOARD INSIDE GATEFOLD . SOME VERY LIGHT STAINS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRONT SLEEVE .


I THINK IT WAS NECESSARY TO POINT OUT ALL THESE VERY SMALL PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE POTENTIAL BUYERS TO KNOW THE EXACT CONDITION OF THE SLEEVE . THAT SAID , THIS SLEEVE IS STILL IN NICE CONDITION , AND I'LL GRADE IT VG+ .




THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE VINYL IS PROBABLY TO TAKE A PAIR OF HEADPHONES AND LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE SOUND SAMPLE . THIS RECORD REALLY PLAYS VERY VERY WELL . NO DISTORTION , OF COURSE NO JUMP OR SKIP , AND NEARLY SILENCE BETWEEN TRACKS , AS WELL STRONG MUSIC . AS YOU CAN HEAR , THERE IS VERY RARELY SOME VERY LIGHT TICKS . THE PLAYING CONDITION IS STILL PRETTY IMPRESSIVE .




THE VINYL IS IN A REALLY LOVELY CONDITION . UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT , IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE MORE THAN A FEW HAIRLINE MARKS DUE TO SLEEVE REMOVAL . HARD TO BELIEVE THIS RECORD IS 47 YEARS OLD . BOTH TEXTURED LABEL DISPLAY A FEW SPINDLE MARKS .BOTH SPINDLE HOLES SHOW SOME SIGN OF WEAR ( SEE PICTURES ) . A CONSERVATIVE GRADING OF THIS LP IS VG++ ( I DO NOT USE EX) . STILL THE NICEST MONO SF SORROW I HAVE SEEN .


MATRIX NUMBERS ARE Side 1 "XAX 3738 - 1"AND Side 2 " XAX 3739 - 1" . MOTHER ON SIDE 1 IS "2 " AND "2" ON SIDE 2 AS WELL . NO STAMPERS . THIS IS THE EARLIEST MOTHERES I HAVE SEEN ON A MONO ORIGINAL SF SORROW . VERY EARLY PRESS INDEED .




CONSIDERING HOW RARE AND HARD TO FIND THIS 1968 ORIGINAL UK MONO PRESS IS , I TRIED TO MAKE THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION I COULD , BUT I'LL BE VERY HAPPY TO HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION ABOUT THAT RECORD . IT IS , TO ME , A ONE OF A KIND CHANCE TO OWN THIS LEGENDARY LP IN MAYBE NOT A FINAL UPGRADE CONDITION , BUT IN A REALLY IMPRESSIVE CONDITION . THANKS .
