THE FOOL

STEREO

The Fool is a 1969 psychedelic folk album by Dutch designers' collective The Fool. Apart from this brilliant album, there art work, was used by the Beatles, and one of the most well known covers, the cover of the Incredible String Band's 1967 LP The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion, just to name two !!

This is a rare and has a very different sound, and is very unique and very collectable !!!! 

THIS IS A BRILLIANT PSYCH/FOLK, MYSTICAL FOLK ALBUM FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. PLAYS WITH NO AUDIO PROBLEMS, AND IS FULLY ORIGINAL !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS :: 1Y//2 :: 2Y//2 .

ON THE BLACK AND SILVER MERCURY LABEL :: SMCL 20138 .

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED :: THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT, WITH ONLY A FEW TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE, AND A SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINE ON THE BOTTOM ON THE FRONT :: THE BACK HAS A BIT OF VERY FAINT RING WEAR AND THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE ALL SOLID WITH THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVING SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB. THE SPINE HAS SOME BITS OF LAMINATE LOSS ( PLEASE SEE COVER PHOTOS, FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU ) :: INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES, AND THERE IS A VERY TINY PIN HOLE TOP RIGHT WHICH GOES THROUGH THE COVER, WHERE A DRAWING PIN HAS BEEN ( NOTHING MUCH AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS ) :: OVERALL A VERY NICE ORIGINAL COVER WHICH HAS KEPT ITS FULL COLOUR, AND I WOULD GRADE :: VG+/EX- .

VINYL :: THE BEST BIT IS THAT IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR CRISP STEREO AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH !!!! VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HOLDS ITS ORIGINAL SHINE, AND IT IS ONLY WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THAT YOU CAN SEE SOME FAINT SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY HAIRLINES.....AND THESE ARE ALL COSMETIC, AND HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE AMAZING CLEAR AUDIO. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AFTER AND LOVED, AND THIS IS WHY IT PLAYS SO WELL. THERE IS ONLY TWO FAINT POPS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, AND ONE FAINT TICK ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, AND EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS IT IS A PLEASURE, WITH NO UNWANTED NOISE !!...SO NO AUDIO ISSUES TO REPORT AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT . 

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN  :: EX/EX+ . 

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS OR WRITING, AND WITH ONLY A BIT OF FAINT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES :: VG+ . 

AS YOU CAN SEE, A VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND ALBUM. THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE ALBUM, WITH A VERY UNIQUE SOUND, AND IT PLAYS LIKE A DREAM !!! NO RESERVE AND SILLY LOW START PRICE, SO ONE NOT TO MISS !!!!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
