THE WHITE NOISE

"AN ELECTRONIC STORM"

TO QUOTE THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE:"MANY SOUNDS HAVE NEVER BEEN HEARD-BY HUMANS.SOME SOUND WAVES YOU DON'T HEAR-BUT THEY REACH YOU.STORM STEREO TECHNIQUES COMBINE SINGERS,INSTRUMENTALISTS AND COMPLEX ELECTRONIC SOUND.THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY IS AT A MAXIMUM"

ORIGINAL UK PRESSING 1969*

ISLAND PINK RIM LABEL STEREO

VERY THICK VINYL AND ROUGH TEXTURE LABEL WITH SMALL GROOVED CENTRE:ILPS 9099

MATRIXES:

ILPS+9099+A   ILPS+9099+B

*IT IS BELIEVED A FEW COPIES EXIST ON THE TOTALLY PINK LABEL THAT ENDED AROUND THE TIME OF THIS LPs RELEASE BUT THIS PRESSING WITH IT'S VERY THICK VINYL AND THE ROUGH TEXTURE LABEL IS EASILY WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE.

LATER COPIES ARE ON MORE"THINNER" AND"FLEXIBLE"VINYL AND SMOOTH LABELS.

THE IMPORTANT POINT IS THIS COPY HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL-JUST"WHITE NOISE"IF YOU ACCEPT THE PUN!

THIS CREATION INVOLVED MEMBERS OF THE BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP WHO CAME UP WITH THE AMAZING SOUND EFFECTS USED ON THE WORLD FAMOUS DR.WHO TV SERIES USING PRIMITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT,VALVES AND PURE IMAGINATION BEFORE SYNTHS AND COMPUTERS MADE IT ALL SO EASY.

MANY,MANY HOURS OF PLANNING,EDITING AND MIXING WENT INTO THIS COLLAGE OF SOUND WHICH HARDLY SOLD OR GOT MUCH PUBLICITY IN 1969,IGNORED BY THE MASSES WHO WERE BUYING PINK FLOYD,LED ZEPPELIN AND NOT MUCH ELSE.

REMEMBER IN 1969 THERE WERE DOZENS OF NEW LPs OUT EVERY FEW WEEKS OF PROGRESSIVE/EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC TO TEMPT BUYERS AND THERE WERE BOUND TO BE MANY THAT FAILED TO SELL-THIS BEING ONE OF THEM.

SOME OF THE LYRICS ARE A BIT DATED AND TO YOUNGER EARS THE ELECTRONIC SOUNDS MAY SEEM AMUSING BUT IT HAS A HYPNOTIC QUALITY AND IS A VITAL ALBUM FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE VERY ROOTS OF AVANT GARDE ELECTRONIC MUSIC.

PHASING,SPEEDED UP AND SLOWED DOWN VOCALS,YO-YO STEREO,AT TIMES SO MANY LAYERS OF SOUND, IT IS A WONDER JUST HOW THIS WAS ALL THOUGHT OUT AND PREPARED.

THE COPIES THAT WERE SOLD WERE MORE THAN LIKELY PLAYED AT"DRUG AND BOOZE INFLUENCED"PARTIES,HANDLED IN CLUMSY FASHION AND RUINED AFTER EVEN JUST A FEW PLAYS ON HORRIBLE EQUIPMENT,RADIO GRAMS OR PORTABLE PLAYERS WITH HEAVY PICKUPS OR DAMAGED STYLI.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER MUST HAVE ONLY PLAYED THIS A DOZEN TIMES AT THE VERY MOST IN 40 YEARS.

WHEN TESTING THIS LP(I PLAYED IT THREE TIMES)I WAS STUNNED BY THE CLARITY.

LISTENING TO THE LP,IT IS POSSIBLE TO HEAR HOW LATER BANDS AND ARTISTS MAY HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY WHAT IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF WORK SUCH AS CAN,KRAFTWERK AND THE ELECTRONIC BASED BRITISH BANDS SUCH AS VISAGE AND ULTRAVOX IN THE 1980s. 

 A VERY HARD LP TO FIND NEARLY 40 YEARS LATER-ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE!

SOME MINOR,MOSTLY VISUAL ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT, THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

REALLY CLEAR SOUND WITH LOTS OF BASS AND AMAZING STEREOPHONIC EFFECTS-ON HEADPHONES GIVES THAT SURROUND SOUND FEEL!

THE  SLEEVE HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING/STAINING/RIPS/REPAIRS.

THERE WERE NO LAMINATED COPIES AND AS SUCH MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE HAVE WELL WORN COVERS-THIS ONE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT AND EVEN SMELLS GREAT!NO HORRIBLE FAG ASH/MUST OR DAMP SMELL!!

VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR OR WRITING.

In 1969 when this disc was pressed ,many record buyers were still using old equipment.

THIS LP PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES ON TOP EQUIPMENT!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

AN ELECTRONIC/EXPERIMENTAL

 CLASSIC OF IT'S GENRE AND A JOY FROM START TO FINISH!

ONCE HEARD NEVER FORGOTTEN!

NO MONOS WERE MADE!

GREAT MUSIC WITH THE GLORY OF WARM SOUNDING VINYL!!

AMAZING BASS!

GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

SUPERB STEREO MIXES!

SUPER QUIET VINYL-THE ODD LIGHT"POP"OTHERWISE GREAT!

AMAZING QUALITY!

TOTALLY FLAT THICK VINYL!

This week and indeed for the next few weeks and months, I am offering up for sale some carefully selected ALBUMS  COVERING ALL STYLES including some of the hardest to find items from a magnificent lifetime collection that I purchased from a keen AND VERY CAREFUL COLLECTOR WHO ENJOYED ACCUMULATING RATHER THAN ACTUALLY PLAYING THEM!!

THIS COLLECTION HAS BEEN CHASED AFTER BY ME FOR SOME MONTHS AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS UNSURE IF HE WAS FINALLY GOING TO SELL UP OR NOT!! THE DEAL HAS BEEN DONE AND GRADUALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS YOU WILL SEE A MIXTURE OF ORIGINAL PRESSINGS AND SELECTIVE REISSUES OF SUCH QUALITY NOT USUALLY SEEN ON EBAY. SO MANY SELLERS SHOUT ABOVE THE ROOFTOPS BUT ACTUALLY OVERGRADE PUTTING OFF BUYERS FROM TRYING ELSEWHERE-PLEASE TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT MY DAILY CHANGING FEEDBACK-IT SAYS IT ALL!

SO BACK TO THIS COLLECTION-I HAVE SEEN THE HIFI THE RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON-JUST ABOUT THE BEST SOUND SYSTEM I HAVE SEEN IN MANY YEARS-MANY OF THE OLDER TITLES WERE BOUGHT FROM ME WHICH IN TURN WERE SOURCED FROM EX-REVIEWERS AND OTHER FUSSY COLLECTORS.

THE LPs WERE STORED UPRIGHT IN A SERIES OF SHELVES IN A STUDY AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT/HEAT AND DAMP.

NO SMOKERS IN THE HOUSE AND ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE AND CHARMING COLLECTORS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH-THE REASON FOR THE SALE IS SPACE AND A CHANGE OF INTERESTS!

THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ANY CLEANING WITH ANY OF THE ITEMS IN THIS COLLECTION-YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THESE VINYL TREATS! EVEN I WANTED TO KEEP MOST OF THEM-SOME FANTASTIC OFFERINGS!

Here is an ORIGINAL 1969 PRESSING LP ON THE ISLAND LABEL.

 IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GRADING IS NOT NEAR MINT AS IT HAS BEEN PLAYED AND I RARELY USE THE TERM NEAR MINT,BUT IT IS STILL A FANTASTIC COPY-MOST DEALERS WOULD EASILY STATE EXCELLENT!!!

 THE COVER  IS IN DECENT CONDITION!!

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO.

CHECKOUT MY  REALISTIC STARTING  PRICE OF  £20  WITH NO RESERVE!!!

YOU MIGHT FIND CHEAPER COPIES BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL BE AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE!

MOST COPIES ON EBAY ARE THE 1980s WAFER THIN PRESSINGS-NOT USUALLY STATED AS REISSUES! 

YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB  SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 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!!!! .
