The Incredible String BandTitle
The Incredible String Band (their 1st album)This was recorded when Clive Palmer (on the left) was still a member.
I am listing three different versions of this album.
Please see my notes below and my other listings.
Label
Elektra
Catalogue Number
EUK 254Date Of Issue
1966
Condition – Cover
VG+. There is some corner and edge wear, but the fully laminated cover is very solid, with no tears or writing.
What makes this LP much rarer is that it is credited on the rear sleeve (bottom left) as by Elektra Records (UK) Ltd. Almost all copies that you will see credit Polydor Records. have a look at other listings. Very few were printed with Elektra before Polydor stepped in to take credit.
Condition – Record
G+. There are quite a few light marks, but none of them are deep at all and should not affect play.This is the famous green and white label which, I believe, The Rare Record Price Guide incorrectly note as the first issue.
I have been collecting Elektra records for decades and have never come across another green and white label.
My theory (for what it's worth!) is
1st Press - orange label with Elektra Records cover credit
1st Press, but a few weeks later - orange label with Polydor cover credit.
I believe that the green and white label was a test pressing of just 100/200 copies (maybe as few as 99 for tax purposes). This was a completely unknown band at the time and Elektra/Polydor would not want to commit to a big pressing run.
In the grand scheme of things it probably does not matter, but this is the rarest possible ISB record.
The band are correctly credited as "The Incredible String Band" rather than "Incredible Stringband" as on orange/black labels.
My main source for gradings is the Rare Record Price Guide. I believe that my gradings are accurate and value my 100% feedback ratio,
