Description

On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Tim Buckley called 'Tim Buckley' and is a 1966 UK Elektra 1st Pressing!!!! THIS IS A SERIOUSLY RARE LP!!!! IN 1966 BARELY ANY OF THESE LPS WERE SOLD IN STEREO AND NEARLY ALL WERE MONO PRESSINGS!!!! SO FINDING A STEREO 1ST PRESS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!! THIS IS THE VERY EARLIEST STEREO 1966 UK 1ST PRESSING TOO - WITH A U.S. SLEEVE/UK DISC!!!! THE VERY EARLIEST UK COPIES OF THIS LP HAD U.S. SLEEVES - AS IT WAS EASIER TO IMPORT U.S. SLEEVES THAN PRODUCE THEM IN THE UK. THIS IS OF COURSE EXACTLY THE SAME AS ALL OTHER REALLY EARLY ELEKTRA PRESSINGS - LIKE THE EARLIEST COPIES OF LOVE 'DA CAPO' FOR EXAMPLE. NOT ONLY THAT - BUT ANOTHER THING WHICH SHOWS THIS TO BE A REALLY EARLY 1ST PRESSING IS THE 'STEREO' ELEKTRA STICKER ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER (AGAIN LIKE STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS OF LOVE 'DA CAPO')!!!! THE EARLIEST COPIES OF THIS LP WERE NEARLY ALL MONOS - SO IT WAS EASIER FOR ELEKTRA TO IMPORT MONO ONLY U.S. COVERS AND PUT A STEREO STICKER ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER. IT IS ALSO A GUARANTEED ORIGINAL ELEKTRA STEREO STICKER - WITH ITS DISTINCTIVE GOLD/BLACK PRINT!!!! ANOTHER THING WHICH INDICATES ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP IS THE 'TEXTURED' ELEKTRA LABELS AND THE A/B MATRIX ENDINGS!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND A SUPERB LP MUSICALLY!!!! DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A MASSIVELY RARE 1966 STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Elektra UK Stereo 1st pressing from 1966 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The Cat. No is EKS 74004 on the 'textured' Elektra label (see picture) and is a UK 1966 Stereo 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Tim Buckley at his best!!!! Any fan of Tim Buckley, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The 1st Press Stereo 'stickered' Cover is in brilliant condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases (barely ANY - cover is AMAZINGLY flat looking) and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! The back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The only other thing to mention is some typical light rubbing in places (though this cover is far FAR better than most)!!!! The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) and is still VERY 'fresh looking'!!!! THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE STEREO 1ST PRESSING AND IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! DONT MISS OUT!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1966 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF "TIM BUCKLEY" BY TIM BUCKLEY, IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!!
