ATTENTION STATUS QUO,1960s BRITISH PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUPS AND RARE LATE MONO ALBUM COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 MONO ISSUE OF THE ESSENTIAL 2ND ALBUM FROM STATUS QUO:"SPARE PARTS" ISSUED ON THE PYE BLUE LABELS:NPL 18301 WITH A-2/B-2 MATRIXES AS WELL AS VERY THICK VINYL! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE BRITISH PATENT NUMBER.
ISSUED JUST BEFORE THEY CHANGED MUSICAL DIRECTION TO HARD ROCK,THIS HAS PSYCHEDELIC SONGS INCLUDING PHASING,EXCELLENT GUITAR WORK AND WELL WORTH INVESTIGATION THAT AT TIMES IS HARD TO BELIEVE WHAT FOLLOWED!
THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND WASN'T ISSUED IN THE USA WITH MOST OF THE FEW COPIES THAT DID SELL IN THE UK BEING THE STEREO VERSIONS. BY 1969,EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS HAD STEREO COMPATIBLE CARTRIDGES FITTED RESULTING IN VERY LITTLE DEMAND FOR THE MONO COPIES. INDEED MANY DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THE MONO VERSIONS TO SPECIAL ORDER!
THIS COPY IS FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND PLAYS SUPERB WITH LOTS OF BASS AND VOLUME AS WELL AS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE HAVING BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR SINCE 1969 BY JUST ONE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO USED GOOD EQUIPMENT!.
THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS WITH GLEAMING SURFACES WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND PLAYS THROUGH VERY NICELY INDEED! THE MONO MIXES HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE STEREO EDITIONS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT+++++ CONDITION-MOST WOULD STATE NEAR MINT! THICK VINYL. THERE ARE VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,STAINING OR FADING. THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER HAS SOME CREASES(MOSTLY TINY EDGE ONES)BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE SPINE DETAILS ARE EASY TO READ! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS!
A LOW,REALISTIC £40 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE RARE 1960s LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.
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!!!!
