ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE FOLK/ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 STEREO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) EXTREMELY RARE 2ND ALBUM BY TREES: "ON THE SHORE" WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. A BRILLIANT BLEND OF ACID FOLK AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK WITH SUPERB GUITAR WORK AND VOCALS-WELL WORTH INVESTIGATING-NO WONDER IT HAS BEEN KEENLY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS FOR YEARS! NOW'S YOUR ONCE IN A BLUE MOON CHANCE FROM A RELIABLE SELLER! IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN ANY CONDITION BUT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN AS OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!.IT'S EASILY THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND AND HEARD IN 30 YEARS AS A DEALER. CBS S 64168 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A1/B1 MATRIXES AND THE CBS BOXED LOGO LABELS WITH VERY THICK VINYL. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT CBS LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL SHOREPACK PRINTED COVER.  NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE!  MOST BUYING LPs IN 1970 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY . MANY DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THIS LP TO SPECIAL ORDER AS TREES WERE FAIRLY UNKNOWN TO MOST PROSPECTIVE BUYERS! DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY HAD VERY CAREFUL AND MINIMAL USE IN NEARLY 46 YEARS!  LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1970 ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST ONE FAINT AND SMALL PRESSING "LUMP" TYPE MARK ON THE LAST TRACK OF SIDE 2 WHICH SOUNDS(MOSTLY FAINTLY) FOR APPROX 38 SECONDS BUT NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE.  APART FROM A COUPLE OF ISOLATED "POPS" AT THE START OF ANOTHER TRACK,THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL! AMAZING SOUND! UPGRADER STANDARD! PROBABLY PLAYED LESS THAN 5 TIMES! YOU'LL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE!. THE 1970 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REISSUES. THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! LOVELY THICK VINYL. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  THE COVER HAS JUST A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES,SOME VERY SLIGHT SURFACE WEAR AT THE EDGES,A TINY SURFACE TEAR AT THE BACK TOP RIGHT CORNER AND A TINY "POP 37A" IN PEN AT THE BACK BUT NO OTHER WRITING,NO RIPS OR REPAIRS! SUPERB!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND ALL OF THE LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
