Description
ART "SUPERNATURAL FAIRY TALES" UK MONO ILP 967 1ST PRESS PINK ISLAND "EYE" LABEL PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY, THANK YOU.
ART "SUPERNATURAL FAIRY TALES" UK MONO CAT NO. ILP 967
ORIGINAL 1967 RELEASE
PINK ISLAND "EYE" LABEL.
MATRICES:
ILP + 967 + A
ILP + 967 + B
SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT, LOVELY FRONT LAMINATION WITH JUST SOME LIGHT CREASING, THE BACK BEING MATT, AND RELATIVELY CLEAN SAVE FOR A SLIGHT STAIN TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER (see pic).
THE VINYL IS LOVELY AND GLOSSY, RUNS PERFECTLY FLAT, AND BOTH MATT PINK LABELS ARE FREE FROM PEN MARKS OR SUCH LIKE. THEY ARE BOTH 1ST PRESS PINK ISLAND "EYE" LABELS.
BOTH SIDES PLAY THIS PSYCH ROCK MONSTER VERY WELL APART FROM A TRACK LINE SCRATCH WHICH RUNS AROUND THE START OF TRACK TWO SIDE ONE, WHICH PRODUCES THREE SKIPS AND SOME DISTORTION. IT STARTS WITH TWO SKIPS ABOUT 2 SECONDS APART, FOLLOWED BY ABOUT 8 SECONDS OF DISTORTION, ENDING IN THE THIRD SKIP. OTHERWISE, THIS RECORD PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY, WITH ONLY THE ODD CLICK HERE AND THERE, A TRUE PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE. I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW THIS SCRATCH IN PICTURE SEVEN.
I HAVE POSTED A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE DEFECT UNDER THE TITLE "ART SUPERNATURAL FAIRY TALES FAULT DEMO" IN WHICH YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE SKIPS AND DISTORTION SO THERE IS NO MISUNDERSTANDING OF MY DESCRIPTION. WHILST YOU ARE WATCHING THIS, TAKE NOTE OF HOW BEAUTIFULLY FLAT THE VINYL RUNS, AND HOW BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN AND GLOSSY IT IS.
ALSO BEAR IN MIND THAT THE FAULT PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT "KICKING BACK" SO BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH.
THIS IS SUCH A RARE RECORD YOU CAN ALMOST FORGIVE IT FOR ITS ONE FAULT. IT IS PROBABLY WORTH HAVING IT PROFESSIONALLY LOOKED AT AS I'M AWARE THAT "SKIPS" CAN BE DEALT WITH FAIRLY EASILY. IN MY OPINION THE DISTORTION IS PROBABLY SET, BUT WHO KNOWS?
OVERALL A STUNNING RECORD, A TRULY RARE PSYCHEDELIC ROCK MONSTER CLASSIC, AND VERY HARD TO FIND AN ORIGINAL TRUE FIRST PRESS PINK ISLAND "EYE" LABEL VERSION. SOME PEOPLE ARE CALLING THE "i" VERSION A FIRST PRESS, BUT IT IS NOT, THIS "EYE" VERSION IS.
REMEMBER THAT THE RECORD PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH ON SIDE ONE FROM START TO FINISH DESPITE THE FAULT, IT IS IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND RUNS PERFECTLY FLAT.
THE RECORD WILL BE SENT IN VERY SECURE PACKAGING, BY PARCELFORCE DELIVERY, WHICH CARRIES INSURANCE AND TRACKING GIVING PEACE OF MIND FOR BOTH BUYER AND SELLER.
THANK YOU!
