Description
THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND *THE 5000 SPIRITS OR THE LAYERS OF THE ONION* LP UK MONO
I BELIEVE THIS LP TO BE A RARE MONO UK 2ND PRESSING ON ELEKTRA RECORDS.
COULD BE A UNIQUE OR TRANSITIONAL PRESSING BECAUSE ONE LABEL IS TEXTURED & THE OTHER IS SMOOTH.
HAS `RECORD FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1967` LABEL CREDITS.
ALSO SIDE ONE HAS `EUK-257-A` TEXT & SIDE TWO HAS `EUK-257-B`.
LOUD QUALITY VINYL IN AMAZING CONDITION!!
I`M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT YEAR THIS VINYL WAS PRESSED.
CAT NO. EUK 257 (ON SLEEVE)
EUK-257-A & EUK-257-B (ON LABELS)
STAMP CODES. SIDE 1 (EUK 257 A/2)
SIDE 2 (EUK 257 B/2)
ALL RECORDS ARE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ALL THE WAY THROUGH ON HEADPHONES.
ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT & LAMP(AT LEAST A 60W BULB)
BOTH THE VISUAL & PLAYING GRADE ARE BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR`S GRADING SYSTEM

SLEEVE CONDITION (EX-) THE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE IS CRISP & CLEAN WITH LIGHT SCUFFING IN PLACES WITH LIGHT RING WEAR TO FRONT & BACK(SEE PICTURES).NO SPLITS NO WRITING & NO STICKERS!!!!
SPINE CONDITION (VG-) CLEARLY READABLE WITH A SCUFF TO THE LETTER `B` IN `INCREDIBLE` & SOME LIGHT/MILD SCUFFING IN THE MIDDLE ABOVE THE TEXT & ON THE TOP & BOTTOM CORNERS. NO SPLITS!!
INNER SLEEVE (EX) ORIGINAL PAPER INNER WITH SOME CREASING & YELLOWING FROM USE & STORAGE. NO WRITING & NO SPLITS!!
LABEL CENTRE (NEAR MINT) ONLY A COUPLE OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. BOTH SIDES HAVE `RECORD FIRST PUBLISHED 1967` & `EUK-257-A` & `EUK-257-B` TEXT WHICH WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS IS A 2ND PRESSING. THE STRANGE THING IS THAT THE LABEL ON SIDE A IS TEXTURED SIMPLY TO THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING BUT WITH A THINNER SMOOTH RIM (SEE PICTURES). THE LABEL ON SIDE B IS SMOOTH. NO WRITING & NO STICKER MARKS!!!!
VINYL CONDITION VISUALLY (EX+) THE VINYL IS FLAT & EXTREMELY GLOSSY & WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS & A COUPLE OF SMALL LIGHT HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES IN ISOLATED AREAS(NON-SOUNDING!!!). THESE ARE ONLY VISIBLE WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT!! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY CLEAN RECORD THAT HAS BEEN HARDLY PLAYED OVER THE YEARS & HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. YOU SIMPLY DON`T FIND THIS VINYL IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION!!
OVERALL PLAYING GRADE (NEAR MINT) VIRTUALLY SILENT BETWEEN TRACKS!! PLAYS LIKE NEW!! NO CRACKLE NO POPS NO CLICKS!! THE SOUND QUALITY THROUGHOUT IS MINT!! THE AUDIO IS SIMPLY FAUTLESS!! I DOUBT IF YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND A BETTER VINYL THAN THIS!! DON`T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS AMAZING ALBUM WITH THE VINYL IN SUPERB CONDITION!!!
LOW START BID & NO RESERVE!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
