ATTENTION 1960s TAMLA MOTOWN AND 1960s SOUL ALBUMS COLLECTORS!
HERE IS A CLASSIC AND ESSENTIAL ALBUM BY THE ISLEY BROTHERS:"SOUL ON THE ROCKS".
1968 EMI PRESSED TAMLA MOTOWN TML 11066 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1/B-1 MATRIXES AND PRESSED ON VERY THICK,HIGH QUALITY 100% FLAT VINYL! ONE OF THE BEST TAMLA MOTOWN ALBUMS TO BE ISSUED IN THE 1960s AND SO HARD TO FIND 46 YEARS LATER IN 2014 IN SUCH BEAUTIFUL CONDITION!
SUPERB SOLID AND VERY CLEAR MONO SOUND.
IT ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON IN SUCH LOVELY CONDITION AS MOST TAMLA MOTOWN FANS IN 1968 WERE ONLY BUYING SINGLES RATHER THAN THE MORE EXPENSIVE LPs FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS ON LIMITED FUNDS! THIS LP HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER AND PROBABLY PLAYED JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES AS IT CAME FROM THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER RECORD REVIEWER THAT I BOUGHT SOME YEARS AGO AND UNLIKELY TO BE IMPROVED UPON! GENUINE UPGRADER STANDARD! I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE! CLEARLY A COPY THAT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED! FANTASTIC SOUND! HAVING LISTENED TO IT AT HIGH VOLUME TWICE! LOVELY CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR. SHARP PRINTING-NO LABEL WRITING OR STAINS! THICK UK PRESSED VINYL! STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.NO HORRIBLE LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS!
FANTASTIC SOUND! FAR BETTER THAN MOST SOUL LPs OF 46 YEARS AGO AND OF COURSE MOST BUYERS WHO COULD AFFORD THIS FULL PRICED LP,PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS COPY HAS BEEN CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR! PLENTY OF BASS! THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT EMI/TAMLA MOTOWN LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE AS SUPPLIED IN 1968 WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE EARLIEST EVER PRINTED. THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" ON THE FLIPBACK AND THE DATE CODE 6802 (FEBRUARY 1968) DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVERY PRINTED WITH JUST A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES AND THE SLIGHTEST STAINING AT THE FRONT EDGES BUT THE FRONT HAS AN AMAZINGLY CLEAN,GLOSSY FINISH AND IT IS VERY CLEAN AT THE BACK WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF STAINING.THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS-NOT WORN AWAY AT ALL!
PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A GENUINE PIECE OF 1960s TAMLA MOTOWN/AMERICAN SOUL MUSIC HISTORY!
A VERY LOW REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
