Description
HERE IS AN ESSENTIAL CAT STEVENS MASTERPIECE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!:"MONA BONE JAKON"
AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK PRESSING PRESSED WITHIN WEEKS OF THE VERY SHORT LIVED AND RARE PINK LABEL EDITION!
THIS ISLAND PINK RIM/PALM TREE LABEL HAS THE SMALL GROOVED CIRCLES 1CM AND 1.5CM FROM THE SPINDLE HOLE WITH THAT AREA BEING ROUGH TEXTURED UNLIKE LATER REPRESSES.
ILPS 9118+A2/B2 MATRIXES-VERY THICK VINYL UNLIKE LATER REPRESSES AND THE MAIN BONUS OF THIS COPY IS THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED WITH LOVELY QUIET SURFACES-VITAL FOR MANY OF THE DELICATE SONGS,USUALLY SPOILT BY CRACKLE AND POPS THAT TEND TO BE ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT TURN UP.
WAY BACK IN 1970 THIS WAS OF COURSE A BIG SELLER AND ALMOST EVERY COPY THAT SURVIVES IS IN BEATEN UP,WORN CONDITION!
MOST COPIES SOLD NEARLY 42 YEARS AGO IN 1970 WERE PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS,THE COVER REMOVAL/CLEANING TYPE IN STRONG LIGHT!
I ALWAYS LISTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY FAULTS!
NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE!
NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS!
LOVELY WARM SOUND WITH TONS OF BASS RESPONSE AND BEAUTIFUL SOUND BALENCE MAKING USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE!
CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR!
A COPY THAT HAS BEEN USED,BUT STILL OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1970!
THE COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES,SOME EDGE WEAR AND A LITTLE SURFACE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!
THIS LP ITSELF IS STRICTLY GRADED IN NEAR MINT CONDITION-THE BEST COPY I HAVE FOUND AND HEARD IN YEARS! A REAL UPGRADER!
MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!
THIS IS A VERY NICE BRITISH PRESSING!
THIS ISSUE FROM 1970 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s ISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!
HAUNTING,TIMELESS VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS! A REAL CLASSIC OF THE ERA!
A GREAT INVESTMENT!!!
TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
READ ON CAREFULLY FOR ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS GEM!!

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
