ATTENTION TRAFFIC+1960s PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE ROCK,PINK ISLAND LABEL COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS!  

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 MONO ALBUM-THE VERY FIRST BY TRAFFIC CALLED "MR.FANTASY" ISSUED ON THE EARLIEST DESIGN PINK ISLAND "BULLSEYE"/"CIRCLE LOGO"LABELS UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE WITH LATER DESIGNS AND OF COURSE HARDLY ANY COPIES SOLD IN MONO WHEN RECORD COMPANIES WERE KEEN TO STOP PRODUCING TWO DIFFERENT MONO/STEREO PRESSINGS WITH EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS ABLE TO SAFELY PLAY STEREO LPs. THOSE STILL STICKING WITH THE OLDER PLAYERS USUALLY DAMAGING THE FEW MONO COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD!

ILP 961 WITH A2/B2 MATRIXES. THERE WAS NO MONO VERSION IN THE USA AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES! LOCATING A REALLY SUPER CLEAN COPY IN 2015 IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR THE BAND'S MOST PSYCHEDELIC STYLED EFFORT WHICH HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS AT ALL WITH WONDERFULLY QUIET AND CLEAR SURFACES-JUST AS IF IT HAS BEEN FRESHLY PRESSED WITH GLEAMING SURFACES AND JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT,TINY AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT AND THAT IS BEING VERY,VERY STRICT INDEED! THERE IS BARELY ANY SURFACE CRACKLE-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! I HEARD A LITTLE AT THE VERY START OF THE MEGA-QUIET OPENING OF THE TRACK "DEALER" BUT THAT WAS ALL AND EVEN THAT WAS FOR APPROX 15 SECONDS AT HIGH VOLUME! CLEARLY A COPY THAT IS HAD HARDLY ANY PLAYS AT ALL SINCE 1967 WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER ESTIMATING 3-4 PLAYS AT THE VERY MOST! WOW! THIS REALLY IS THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND AND HEARD WITH SOLID MONO,GUTSY MIXES! 

YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO EVER FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS TRULY AMAZING LP IN MONO SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FROM A RELIABLE SELLER!  HOUSED IN THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WHICH HAS MINIMAL WEAR AND IS VERY CLEAN AND NOT DAMAGED LIKE MOST THAT TURN UP 48 YEARS LATER!

MOST COVERS TURN UP IN POOR CONDITION!

THERE ARE NO SPLITS,RIPS,WRITING OR REPAIRS!  JUST A COUPLE OF MINOR CREASES,A LITTLE MILD STAINING AND  SLIGHT EDGE WEAR. REMEMBER THAT THE CARD USED ON THIS COVER WAS WAFER THIN AND JUST ABOUT EVERY COVER THAT SURVIVES ON 1ST EDITONS HAS DAMAGE AND THIS ONE I WOULD SAY IS EXCELLENT!

THE DISC HAS JUST A FEW FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! 

NO CLICKS,STICKS,DISTORTION OR JUMPS!

THE RECORD IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! ONE OWNER SINCE 1967 WHO AMAZINGLY ADMITTED TO ME,HE DIDN'T LIKE IT MUCH,HENCE THE ESTIMATED 3-4 PLAYS SINCE 1967!

CLEAN LABELS.NO SPINDLE WEAR.

This highly sought after album is from one of the best album collections I have ever bought in 29 years as a dealer with many more similar ones to follow!

The previous owner has been a collector for over 45 years and there are more albums to follow in the collection that I will be offering for auction or set sale on ebay over the next few weeks and months!

Some of the albums have never been reissued and of course are bound to increase in value.

As ever I will be grading strictly and providing any information required. KEEP WATCHING!!! 

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases played in  clubs or taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

An ideal opportunity to add a fine album in nice condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
