Earliest 1st Pressing Matrices
Stunning condition!!
Final upgrader!
This is the earliest possible release of Traffic's very first album. The Mono pressings are incredibly rare (especially in this fantastic condition) and much rarer than Stereo pressings which sold better than Mono versions at the time.
Cover: This is the 1st pressing gatefold laminated outer cover and unlaminated inner. In stunning Excellent+ to Near Mint ondition for its age. No writings/doodles or seam splits. No laminate lift. No damage to internal flip-backs. The spine is in fantastic condition - these are usually the first things to go on these covers. The slighest touch of wear to corners/edges/spine only - certainly the best I have seen in 30 years.
Labels: Mint.
Vinyl: Thick heavy duty 1st pressing vinyl looks in Excellent to Excellent+ condition. A few hairline whisps is all I can see under a strong light. Might benefit from a light clean to bring up to top standard.
This is the best pressing of this rare LP that I have seen in 30 years. Because this particular record was so great, most were played often and usually they were played to death. However, this one has been cherished by a collector who has now decided the time has come to sell. I am therefore selling this on her behalf.
