Description
THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND
incredible string band
Elektra EUK 254 (UK) 1966 MONO
ORIGINAL UK MONO 1966
ROBIN WILLIAMSON CLIVE PALMER MIKE HERON
album produced by JOE BOYD
manufactured in Great Britain by Polydor Records Limited, London
STUNNING 1st PRESSING - BY FAR THEIR RAREST LP
hypnotic and haunting! - melancholy and mysterious! - a lovely acid folk psych record - the original that inspired many others such as Dr. Strangely Strange, Tea & Symphony, Forest
YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE!
RECORD : MINT
the surfaces display stunning jet black gloss - the record plays as-new and mint throughout
note: see photos - this disc is a super example of that ‘just-pressed’ look
LABELS : MINT
except for the faintest evidence of a few spindle traces - these glorious dark orange and black original ‘ridged’ labels are bright, clean and sharp - completely unmarked and perfect
note: eBay picture services may make the rich deep orange colour appear patchy - both labels are in fact superb
SLEEVE : VERY NEAR MINT
fully laminated sleeve with super high gloss front and rear - almost totally as-new - including spine, seams, opening edges, corners - the shine on the lamination must be seen to be appreciated with that beautiful ‘fresh off the press’ appearance
note: any apparent white or pale areas in the photos are merely light refelection from the incredibly glossy finish
INNER BAG : EXCELLENT
original poly-lined paper inner with purple lettering - near mint except for a record shop stamp to the reverse side
Maybe Someday October Song When the Music Starts to Play Schaeffer’s Jig Womankind The tree Whistle Tune Dandelion Blues
Oh Lord how Happy I am Empty Pocket Blues Smoke Shovelling Song Can’t keep me here no how Good as Gone Footsteps of the Heron Niggertown Everything’s fine right now

On 22-Apr-04 at 16:56:35 BST, seller added the following information:I should mention the existence of the white label (with green Elektra logo and track details / credits in black lettering) versions of the 1st pressing - also in mono, of course - thanks to Walter for reminding me - I have always thought of the orange label UK issues as 1st pressings and the red label, then 'butterfly' label copies as reissues - my apologies, then if my listing is, strictly speaking, slightly incorrect - does anyone have photos of the white labels they can email me? - one thing is certain and that is the rarity of this LP in such super condition - thanks for reading this explanatory amendment ~ christophertime
