·       ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING

·       ORIGINAL YELLOW EPIC LABEL

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       BEAUTIFUL, WEAR-FREE LABELS

All albums by Yardbirds, the first-ever supergroup (which included at different times Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on solo guitar) are very coveted and valuable and highly collectable, especially in good condition, such as the copy of this classic Yardbirds album we are offering here - BUT THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY HARD TO FIND. Withdrawn at Jimmy Page's insistence and as a result of contractual dispute, this album only saw two (almost clandestine) releases, of which we offer the VERY FIRST pressing here. The album is remarkable for the inclusion of "I'm confused" - which was to become "Dazed and Confused" on Led Zeppelin's first album --- this album amply illustrates the evolution of the track from the white electric blues rave-up to the acid-blues in the Led Zep version.

Track listing: The train kept-a-rollin' - You are a better man than I - I'm confised - My Baby - Over, under, sideways down - Drinking Muddy Water - Shapes of Things - White summer - I'm a man.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is apparently pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(c)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); (VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE ONLY); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3.
