Description
THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN 1968 UK TRACK 1st *MONO* - NEAR MINT
ARTHUR BROWNThe Crazy World Of Arthur Brown
UK TRACK (612005) FIRST *MONO* PRESSING (July 1968)
GREAT COPY - PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY THROUGHOUT
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST BLACK/SILVER *MONO* LABELS
MATRIX: 612005 A ? 1 1 11 / 612005 B ? 1 1 11
THE RECORD HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH CREDIT ERROR ON THE BACK; SIDE 2, TRACK 4 IS TITLED "MONEY" INSTEAD OF "I'VE GOT MONEY"
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INER SLEEVE DATED '078 (July 1968)
A distinctly Zappa-esque piece to work it's still powerful and surprisingly melodic, and managed to be quite bluesy and soulful even as the band overhauled chestnuts by James Brown and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
"Spontaneous Apple Creation" is a wilfully histrionic, atonal song that gives Captain Beefheart a run for his money.
Though this one-shot was not (and perhaps could not ever be) repeated, it remains an exhilaratingly slice of psychedelia.
Side 1:
Prelude-Nightmare (3:28)
Fanfare-Fire Poem (1:51)
Fire (2:54)
Come And Buy (5:40)
Time (3:07)
Confusion (2:08)
Side 2:
I Put A Spell On You (3:41)
Spontaneous Apple Creation (2:54)
Rest Cure (2:44)
I've Got Money (3:09)
Child Of My Kingdom (6:04)
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - moderate spindle traces on Side Two - not many on Side One
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like-new - Side One is unmarked - Side Two has a mark on the first track but this is pretty much harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT+
Great sounding copy delivering beautifully clean sound throughout with nothing to fault bar a couple of tiny low-level background ticks caused by the mark mentioned above - nothing really
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
A fine example - clean and unmarked with just some feathering/laminate creasing on the opening edge but little edge were to speak of - all spine text is clear and bold
