"MR. FANTASY" MEGA-RARE 1st PRESS 1967 US ORIGINAL MONO UNITED ARTISTS UAL-3651!

STOCK LABEL 1967 COMMERCIAL MONO, NOT A RECORD CLUB PRESSING, NOT AN IMPORT OR REISSUE! THIS IS STAMPED 'DJ USE' ON THE BACK SO THIS WAS SENT OUT AS A PR0M0!

STEVE WINWOOD, DAVE MASON, CHRIS WOOD & JIM CAPALDI - THEIR PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE DEBUT LP (MASON ISN'T IN THE PIC ON THE US LP FOR SOME REASON BUT HE WAS IN THE BAND AND ON THE LP!),

HERE'S THE CHRONOLOGY: THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN THE USA ORIGINALLY AS "HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND" ON THE BLACK UNITED ARTISTS LABEL WITH THAT TITLE ON THE COVER & LABEL BOTH. THIS WAS QUICKLY WITHDRAWN AND CHANGED TO "MR. FANTASY" TO MATCH IT'S UK COUNTERPART, AND UA CHANGED BOTH COVER AND LABEL, WHICH WAS STILL AT THE TIME THE ICONIC BLACK UNITED ARTISTS.

AT THAT SAME TIME, UNITED ARTISTS WAS PREPARING TO SWITCH OVER TO THE BRIGHT PINK & ORANGE LABEL DESIGN, AND ALREADY HAD AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF "HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND" LABELS PREPARED FOR THE SECOND (PINK/ORANGE) PRESSING BEFORE CALLING A HALT TO THAT SINCE THEY HAD SWITCHED THE TITLE. WHEN THE CHANGE-OVER CAME ABOUT, RATHER THAN THROW OUT PERFECTLY GOOD LABELS, FOR A VERY VERY BRIEF MOMENT UNITED ARTISTS USED THE SECOND LABEL VERSION OF 'HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND" IN THE "MR. FANTASY" COVER AND SHIPPED THEM OUT. AS SOON AS THOSE WERE USED UP THE SWITCH TO THE MORE FAMILIAR PINK & ORANGE "MR. FANTASY" WAS COMPLETE. 

THUS, OBVIOUSLY, ALTHOUGH STILL ON BLACK UA, THIS IS THE SECOND PRESSING, THE PINK/ORANGE "HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND" WOULD BE THE EXTREMELY RARE THIRD PRESSING, AND THE PINK/ORANGE "MR. FANTASY" THAT MOST OF US GOT AT THE TIME WOULD TECHNICALLY BE THE FOURTH PRESSING!!! ALL IN 1967 AND ALL WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS!!!!!  

GOT THAT?

PLUS, THIS IS THE VERY RARE US MONO PRESSING!!!
