ATTENTION 1960s MONO ALBUM COLLECTORS!

HERE IS A HARD TO FIND ORIGINAL UK PRESSING OF THE 1968 MAMA AND PAPAS ALBUM IN MONO:    "THE PAPAS AND MAMAS".THIS ALBUM FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE NEARLY 45 YEARS LATER ESPECIALLY IN MONO!  TRACKS USUALLY ONLY HEARD IN VERY SEVERE STEREO SPLIT MIXES WITH ALL THE VOCALS ON ONE SPEAKER! HERE IS A CHANCE TO HEAR THE ALBUM IN GUTSY,SOLID,BEEFY MONO! BY 1968 MOST NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO LPs AND AS SUCH THE DEMAND FOR MONO LPs WAS LESS WITH MANY SHOPS ONLY OBTAINING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER!DECCA PRESSED RCA SMALL RED LABELS:RD 7960 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1K/1K MATRIXES. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "IMPORTANT" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING"CREDIT AND HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL LAMINATED FRONT COVER.

 THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN STRICTLY GRADED NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW FAINT SURFACE MARKS,A FEW ISOLATED "POPS" HERE AND THERE BUT NOT VERY MUCH SURFACE NOISE-NO STICKS OR JUMPS-STRICTLY GRADED WITH VERY NICE SOUND! CLEAN LABELS-NO WRITING! SOME SPINDLE WEAR. MOST COPIES THAT WERE SOLD 48 YEARS AGO IN 1968 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD A FEW PLAYS BUT STILL CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1968! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS!NOTHING TO HIDE!

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER PRINTED BY MacNEILL PRESS HAS A FEW CREASES BUT NO STAINING,WRITING OR REPAIRS-BETTER THAN MOST THAT SURVIVE!   A REAL JOY FOR ANY 1960s MUSIC FAN!

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

THIS 1ST ISSUE FROM 1966 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
