Description
TRAFFIC
"MR FANTASY"
RARE STEREO FIRST REPRESS 1970.
Year: 1970 Original Island records ILPS 9061
LP – Stereo – UK RePress
This is the rare STEREO repress from 1970 on the Pink "i" Island rough texture logo label and gatefold cover. This LP is seriously RARE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND AS STEREO EARLY PRESSES rarely come to sale!
Another real piece of rock history! This was TRAFFIC’S FIRST LP, and is one of their most sought after particularly in STEREO!
I am also listing this week a 1st UK MONO PRESS version of this LP where the difference between mono and stereo can be compared.
The record is visually graded in NEAR MINT condition for side A and in EXCELLENT condition for side B. Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is 54 years old that has been played and will not transform into anything else.
The textured PINK “i” ISLAND labels are in excellent plus condition.
The gatefold Ernst J Day sleeve is in excellent minus condition with some graffiti inside bext to the original one printed by the band (In memory ....)
The spine is in excellent condition with corner wear
Photos are of the actual item.

Play-grading MONO records: Mono records and stereo records have different grooves. A stereo record produces a stereo sound via both lateral and vertical groove modulation whereas a mono record is not intended to produce any sound from vertical modulation. Playing a mono record with a stereo cartridge will create distortion because it is trying to pick-up the vertical (stereo) part of the signal, whereas this is not intended to be heard on a mono record and so is just noise. Using a pre-amp with a mono switch will eliminate the noise caused by vertical modulation leaving just the lateral groove signal which is how the record was intended to be heard. If you do not have a mono switch on your amp or pre-amp you will be reproducing the noise from the vertical part of the signal and so the record will not sound as good. This is not any fault of the record, it is inherent to playing any mono record through a system that it was not designed for.
