Description
ATTENTION 1960s PROGRESSIVE FOLK/ROCK COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST STEREO EDITION OF THE FIRST ALBUM BY THE STRAWBS SIMPLY CALLED "STRAWBS" WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION,EXPOSURE OR SALES IN 1969,THREE YEARS BEFORE THE BAND HAD A HIT SINGLE AND BECAME MORE OR A ROCK OUTFUT. THIS DEBUT ALBUM WAS WHEN THEY WERE A TRIO WITH MORE REFLECTIVE FOLK LEANINGS!
THE ALBUM FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND WASN'T ISSUED IN THE USA WITH ONLY THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS LIKE THIS ONE HAVING THE GATEFFOLD COVER WITH THE INSIDE OPENING.
ISSUED ON THE PYE PRESSED A&M LABELS WITH THICK VINYL(MUCH THICKER THAN 1970s THINNER VINYL REPRESSES) WITH THE EARLIEST A-1/B-1 MATRIXES AND HOUSED IN THE CORRECT POLYLINED "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" INNER SLEEVE DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP.
THIS ONE HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH ONLY NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER. I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE! THERE ARE NO CLICKS,STICKS,SWISHES OR JUMPS! STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.
THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING OR STAINING! NO SPINDLE WEAR! PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS TO SEE BOTH LABELS AND BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER.
THE COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE EDGE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.THICK AND EASY TO READ SPINE. PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY RARE FOLK/ROCK ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TWICE TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS.
BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE.
A REALISTIC,LOW £12 STARTING PRICE!
MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!
THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!
GREAT VOCALS AND MUSICIANSHIP WITH WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
