Description
On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Traffic called 'Mr Fantasy' and is a VERY rare MONO 1st Pressing on the Island 'Circle' logo!!!! THIS IS A VERY RARE RECORD - AND VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION!!!! HOWEVER WHAT MAKES THIS MONO 1ST PRESSING DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER IS THAT IT HAS A MISPRINTED COVER!!!! IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES BELOW YOU CAN SEE ON THE FRONT COVER THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A 'YELLOW PSYCHEDELIC MIST' STRETCHING ACROSS THE FRONT COVER!!!! BEFORE ANYONE ASKS - IT IS UNDER THE LAMINATE!!!! I HAVENT A CLUE HOW A COVER LIKE THIS MUST HAVE COME ABOUT - BUT SURELY THIS HAS TO SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT???? EITHER WAY IT IS A VERY CURIOUS ITEM INDEED AND HAS TO BE VERY RARE AND MOST LIKELY UNIQUE LIKE THIS!!!! THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE MISPRINTED MONO 1ST ISLAND PRESSING AND IS INCREDIBLY RARE IN EVERY RESPECT!!!! DONT MISS OUT ON THIS SUPERB OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Island UK 1st pressing from 1967 and is in brilliant condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is ILP 961 on the ORIGINAL 1st Pressing 'Circle' logo Island label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Traffic at their best!!!! Any fan of Traffic, 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 few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT 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, only a couple of VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 light non sounding scufflines, and only some VERY light paper scuffing only visible under bright light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS A 'JUST PRESSED' SHINY LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps and NO nasty constant crackle!!!! There is NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good+ 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 record comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve!!!! The MONO 1st Press Misprinted Gatefold FLIPBACK Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (MEGA rare in this cover), only slight corner wear, only a few light creases (cover is still flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! The unlaminated inside is in GREAT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and only some slight typical yellowing!!!! There is NO rips, NO tears and NO staining!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND A COVER FROM THIS LP IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION - AND ESPECIALLY ONE WITH NO SPINAL WEAR!!!! 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!!!!
