Description

VERY rare LP, especially with the vinyl in this, lovely, condition. An ORIGINAL UK MONO Pressing on the textured Orange CBS label  ONE OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL'S RAREST UK LP's EVER.

WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL, IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AND WAS ONLY EVER MADE LIKE THIS FOR 2 OR 3 MONTHS ONLY. THIS LP WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1964 IN THE U.S.A. ONLY - AND WAS NEVER GIVEN A UK RELEASE UNTIL NOVEMBER 1968 AND IT BARELY SOLD AT ALL (COMPARED TO THEIR OTHER LP's!). ALTHOUGH YOU DO SEE A FEW COPIES OF THIS LP BEING OFFERED FOR SALE QUITE REGULARLY - ALMOST NONE OF THEM ARE 100% GENUINE 1968 MONO 1ST PRESSINGS (LIKE THIS ONE!), AND ARE ACTUALLY MUCH LATER RE-ISSUES!!!! 

THE 1ST PRESS ONLY DETAILS:-

1) THIS LP HAS A LAMINATED FRONT COVER (ALL LATER ONES FROM 1970 ONWARDS DID NOT!) 

2) THIS LP HAS NO 'STEREO' TEXT ON THE LABELS (BECAUSE IT IS MONO!) - WHEREAS ALL LATER ONES FROM EARLY 1969 ONWARDS DID!

3) THE RECORD HAS 1ST PRESS ONLY A1/B1 MONO MATRIX ENDINGS (ALL LATER ONES DID NOT - AND IN ANY CASE ALL MONOs WERE DELETED FOREVER IN MARCH 1969!)

4) THE LABELS ARE 'TEXTURED' (LATER ONES ARE NOT!)

5) THE COVER IS MADE BY 'E.J.DAY' AND CARRIES THE ALL IMPORTANT 'PATENT PENDING' TEXT (LATER ONES DID NOT!)

6) AND LASTLY & MOST IMPORTANTLY - IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE COVER FRONT, IT HAS A 'SINGLE' CBS BOX LOGO - WITH '63370' ABOVE IT!!!!  AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED ON THE 'DAY OF RELEASE' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - WITH ALL LATER ONES HAVING A LONG 'RECTANGULAR' LOGO IN ITS PLACE, WITH 'STEREO' PRINTED ABOVE IT (AFTER MONOs HAD BEEN DELETED)


Record: Excellent. Has a lovely sheen and plays very well indeed.
Sleeve: A comfortable VG+. It has a couple of creases and a name written on the back.Even the un-laminated back of the cover is in nice condition with NO grubbyness/ringwear and NO yellowing. Printed by Ernest J Day.
Labels: Excellent other than a name written on one side.


Any questions - please ask.
