ATTENTION PROGRESSIVE/PSYCHEDELIC ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS-DIRECT FROM A VERY CAREFUL COLLECTOR WHO BARELY PLAYED HIS RECORDS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION OF A RARELY SEEN 1968 CBS "BOXED LOGOS" LABELS 1ST MONO EDITION OF THE ONLY ALBUM BY THE BAND,THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND JUST #181 IN THE USA HAVING HAD MINIMAL EXPOSURE,ATTENTION AND SALES RESULTING IN ORIGINAL UK COPIES VERY HARD TO FIND IN 2014 ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS SUPERB EXAMPLE IN MEGA-RARE MONO!     CBS 63340+THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE BPG-63340-A-1 AND BPG-63340-B-1 MATRIXES! LATER REISSUES HAD DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGNS AND LATER MATRIXES WITH S ADDED FOR STEREO!

THIS LP IS VERY MUCH IN THE STYLE OF THE EARLIEST JEFFERSON AIRPLANE TRACKS,THE FEMALE SINGER ON SOME OF THE TRACKS ,DOROTHY MOSKOWITZ SOUNDING VERY SIMILAR TO THE WONDERFUL GRACE SLIK! PLENTY OF PSYCHEDELIC AND ELECTRONIC NOISES,FUZZ GUITAR,HAMMOND AND A VARIETY OF SONGS WELL WORTH INVESTIGATING!

HARDLY ANYONE BOUGHT THE MONO EDITIONS OF THIS LP AS BY 1968 THE MAJORITY OF BUYERS HAD SWITCHED TO STEREO AND OF COURSE MOST OF THE NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO EDITIONS RESULTING IN MANY DEALERS ONLY GETTING THE MONO PRESSINGS TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLY!  PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS TO SEE BOTH LABELS AS WELL AS BOTH SIDES OF THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER WHICH HAS A LITTLE MILD STAINING AND A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.AN EASY TO READ SPINE UNLIKE MOST COVERS THAT TURN UP!

THE DISC HAS THICK VINYL WITH GLEAMING SURFACES! JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA,TINY AND FAINT SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT!    I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE!    NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR,LABEL WRITING OR STAINING!
