GOLDEN EARRING - TOGETHER

First Press UK

1Y 1 and 2Y 1

2925 009 

1972

 

 

 

This album is just as it was when it was first sold over the counter of a 1970's record shop!!! It is not very often that you come across a vinyl of such superior quality. As such this is the ultimate VAULT copy!!! I am very proud to be able to offer this jewel for auction.

 

ELUSIVE PROGRESSIVE MONSTER!!!! IN A UNIQUE EX+ CONDITION!!!A FEW SPINS ONLY!! 4 to 5 MAX!!!

 

!!!!AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND!!!GORGEOUS EX+!!! "TOGETHER" is apart from "MIRACLE MIRROR" and possibly "WINTER HARVEST" the hardest Earring album to find these days. This is a rare beast that can be classified as psych/prog, the most desirable albums were made between 1967-1972.  Pre-Moontan albums are few and far between as the Earring did not have any success in other countries than their native Holland.

 

 

In all my years this is only the third time (One other was a German version) I have come across this absolute STUNNER. The rarity of this LP is not to be underestimated!!! Most of these will now be tucked away in major collections across the four corners of the Earth. Rare ... anyone?? Sensational sound quality, NO skips or jumps. NO clicks, this is really a stunning heavy vinyl with a beautiful deep gloss. This vinyl  seems to have been hardly played at all!!! A definite EX+!!!  Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

 

Vinyl: EX+. A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more in-depth observation. I am very glad to say that there are not any jumps or skips. There is no disturbing crackle and there are NO clicks. Unbelievably as it may sound there is not any  background noise at all, there are only two or three wispy hairlines that do not impact the audio at all !! Very remarkable for this 1972 vinyl!!!  Fantastic songcraft!! "From Heaven, From Hell" is an extremely compelling composition. "All Day Watcher" is a classic prog/psych track that everyone should have heard!! No wonder this album is now so sought after. I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!! Outstanding channelling, killer riffs, this is a legendary album.

 

Sleeve: EX++!!! Untouched by the tooth of time. This is one such rare occasion!!!  The sleeve is phenomenal!!! There are NO CREASES!! All edges are sharp and crisp WITHOUT WEAR!!!  NO writing or doodling. Of course NO tears, NO smudges and NO defacing of any kind. Only one small crease near the opening prevents a NM grade.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is a final upgrade and a prime investment piece that will increase in value as the condition is unrivalled.

 

Labels are NM.

 

Important : International Postage. This will be sent via Signed For service if over GBP 40.00. In this case please wait for my adjusted invoice. 

UK postage. If over £100.00 this will be sent via Special Delivery at extra cost, please wait for my invoice in this case.

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.

 

On 12-Oct-10 at 22:39:51 BST, seller added the following information:

I was alerted to the fact that this may be a Dutch pressing. I am not too sure as all writing on the label is in English, as is all writing on the sleeve. Possibly the "Stemra" box on the label might point to this being a Dutch press, which actually makes it more desirable as the Earring are of course a Dutch band (possibly the oldest still functioning band in the world, and certainly older than the Stones. The Earring(s) started off in 1961 by George Kooijmans and  Rinus Gerritsen and were successful in Holland long before they ever recorded the smash hit that was "Radar Love". This album together with "Miracle Mirror", "Winter Harvest", "Golden Earring" and "Seven Tears" are hugely sought after all over the world.) "Together" and "Golden Earring" are the two psych/prog crossover albums, making them very desirable.
