PHILIPS Records PHS 600-328
Original 1969 issue • Stereo LP
Promotional / FIRST PRESSING

VINYL is NM-
Just the slightest sleeve marks on extremely clean, full gloss vinyl. Labels are pristine.

COVER is EX+
Vibrant, Snapping bright cover is super clean with no wear, creases, writing or soil. A bit of flaking to solid seams; spine is immaculate. Tiny promo drill-hole, l.r. corner.

While it's a regular black label, with only the drill hole to indicate; this LP is indeed a promo copy.
I know, having received it from an FM jazz radio station back in 1970, for services rendered ...it was more than a bit too far out for their format. Philips only made white labels for their MONO promos. This is the Stereo. In any case, a 'cut-out' would not be a 1st pressing, but a later -last pressing.

"Featuring the cream of California’s jazzmen (including members of Gabor Szabo’s band and Bill Plummer’s Cosmic Brotherhood), this criminally-overlooked 1969 set fuses modal jazz and psychedelic rock to unforgettable effect. Stuffed with haunting melodies, mellow vibraphone, ripping fuzz guitar and irresistible grooves, it’s a lost classic that’ll appeal to fans of acid rock and psychedelic jazz alike.

"After collaborating with Gabor Szabo on such superb efforts as More Sorcery, Bacchanal and Dreams, bassist Louis Kabok and drummer Hal Gordon further embraced unique jazz-rock fusion under the Advancement aegis, issuing their sole LP in 1969. The opening 'Juliet' establishes a dark, moody atmosphere immediately bolstered by the intriguing 'Painful Struggle', with its eerie vibes and Kabok's extended bass bridge. 'Moorish Mode' is Gordon's star turn, highlighted by an impressively restrained drum break. But it's the most overtly rock-influenced cuts that make Advancement absolutely worth seeking out, in particular 'Fall Out', an impressively heady mélange of jazz, hard rock, and psychedelia.

“One of those strange late sixties barrier-breaking experimental efforts, fusing jazz with folk, rock and acid”
– Fuzz, Acid & Flowers
 
“Over the years the album has become of interest to psych collectors… there are moments of great virtuosity and intensity”
– The Acid Archives
 
“There’s something here for every taste: jazz, rock, folk, east, west… this group is not showing off, it just happens to be unlimited”
– from the LP sleeve notes
