London ffrr LL 3279 Mono
ORIGINAL 1962 "EXPORT" PRESSING OF THIS EARLY SURF ALBUM!
COVER IS VG++ WITH LIGHT WEAR AND SOME DISCOLORATION.
VINYL IS IN VG+ CONDITION WITH LIGHT SCRATCHES. IT PLAYS VERY WELL WITH OCCASIONAL POPS OR CLICKS.
THERE IS A MODERATE WARP (UP AND DOWN) WHICH TRACKED FINE ON OUR TURNTABLE AND DID NOT AFFECT THE SOUND QUALITY.
Produced by the legendary and enigmatic Joe Meek, this album is a showcase for both the artistry and limitations of Meek's productions. "Telstar," the first British number one single in America, is the obvious gem here. The organ sound is both extremely compressed and expanding at the same time. There is a very spiritual base to the song and yet there is also a cheesy aspect. (the male chorus of "ahs" toward the end of the song) The combination of artfulness and kitsch of "Telstar" typifies the best and worst of the record. "Love and Fury" works quite well as a "Telstar" clone featuring a similar sounding organ and a male chorus copying the pleasant, sing-along melody. On the other hand, "Theme from A Summer Place" comes across more as corn than art, even with birds chirping and echoey lead guitar lines. Listeners won't be tempted to forget Percy Faith's version after hearing this one. "Jungle Fever" ranks with Meek's more unique productions, though. It's lion-in-the-jungle feel could be taken from some B grade movie, but it is somehow strangely affecting. Like the best ofJoe Meek's productions, there is an amateurish quality, yet also a uniqueness and search for meaning through the art of sound. -- All Music Guide

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you’re getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky’s the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest

Part of our postage fee covers the cost of the mailer and pads (which currently costs us up to a dollar per).
