THIS IS A VERY RARE DEBUT ALBUM TITLED “FRESH CREAM” (1ST LP) OF CREAM IN MONO ON THE ORIGINAL UK REACTION LABEL.

This is an ORIGINAL 1966 UK “Earliest” MONO 1st pressing on the EARLIEST POSSIBLE 'Textured' Reaction labels.  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND! IN FACT, THIS IS THE ULTIMATE CREAM RARITY AND IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT ONE OF THE RAREST UK CREAM LP EVER RELEASED!

THIS LP HAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCES COMPARED TO OTHER PRESSINGS!  PLEASE DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE RARITY OF THIS LP AND IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO TURN UP AGAIN FOR SALE FOR A LONG TIME!

FIRST - THIS LP HAS A//1 B//1 MATRIX ENDINGS! AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY RARE ON THIS LP.  THESE A//1 B//1 MONO MATRIX ENDINGS WERE DROPPED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASE AND ALL LATER PRESSINGS SIMPLY DONT HAVE THESE (THEY HAVE A2/B1 MATRIX ENDINGS OR HIGHER)!

SECOND - THIS LP HAS ULTRA RARE FULLY TEXTURED LABELS TO BOTH SIDES!  THESE "TEXTURED" LABELS WERE DROPPED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 1ST PRESSING RUN BEGAN AND ONLY THE “EARLIEST POSSIBLE” 1ST PRESSING BATCHES HAD THEM (ALL LATER ONES DIDN’T) 

THIRD - THIS LP HAS ULTRA RARE “MISCREDITED” LABELS WHICH WERE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED.  IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THE SIDE 2 LABEL YOU WILL SEE THAT THE FOURTH CREDIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL IS MISCREDITED TO 'M.C.P.S.' WHEREAS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS THIS CREDIT WAS CORRECTED TO “ESSEX MUSIC”. 

FOURTH - NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE CENTRE OF EACH LABEL ON THIS “EARLIEST” 1ST PRESSING HAS 2 'RIDGES' AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE  WHEREAS ALL LATER PRESSINGS ONLY HAVE ONE!  

ONLY THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1966 MONO 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP HAVE 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1  STAMPER CODES TO BOTH SIDES, 2 “RIDGES” AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE, FULLY TEXTURED LABELS AND MEGA RARE 'MISCREDITED' LABELS. THESE ARE SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! 

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN VALUE OF THIS LP RESIDES IN ITS RARITY THE VINYL HAS BEEN WELL PLAYED AND VISUALLY IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE LABELS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITHOUT WRITING.

THE 1ST PRESS FRONT LAMINATED “PATENT PENDING” E.J.DAY MONO COVER IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME CREASES AND EDGE WEAR. THE BACK OF THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITHOUT MARKS OR WRITING. 

THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SO DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY.

I am not a dealer but an amateur collector selling duplicated items or records that I no longer want to keep (mostly due to space). I do not clean records (other than a dust with anti-static) and unless indicated in the listing the records have been only visually inspected.
