STEREO
1968 UK PRESS WITH SUPERB EX/EX+ BRITISH BLUES ROCK AUDIO !!!!
THIS IS THE AMAZING GROUNDHOGS WHO WERE FORMED IN ENGLAND IN 1963, AND THIS THEIR 1st AND DEBUT BRILLIANT BRITISH BLUES ALBUM. IT WAS RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1968, AND PLAYS OUTSTANDING WITH AMAZING CLEAR AUDIO, AND COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
ONE MORE THING, IS THAT THIS WAS RECORDED AT THE MARQUEE STUDIOS IN LONDON BETWEEN 5th AND 13th OCTOBER 1968,, AND USING NO OVERDUBS, SO AN AMAZING SOUND AND IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES THEY COULD BE PLAYING IN THE SAME ROOM, SUPERB CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS :: LBS 83199 A//1 420 :: LBS 83199 B//1 420 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL SOLID 1ST PRESS FULLY LAMINATED, AND LOVELY SPINE AND EDGES, WITH 'LIBERTY RECORDS LIMITED LONDON W1, BOTTOM LEFT, AND 'GROUNDHOGS SERIES' BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER ON THE BACK. THERE ARE SOME LONGER LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE, AND A SMALL LIGHT STAIN MARK ON THE BACK BOTTOM LEFT AND BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, IWOULD GRADE :: VG+ .
VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, SO NO STICKS, SKIPS OR JUMPS, AND IN FACT NOTHING INTRUSIVE SO A FANTASTIC LISTEN.
THERE ARE JUST TWO LIGHT TICKS ON THE RUN, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 1, AND TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 3 AND TRACK 4, SO NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO. WHILE ON SIDE 2 THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START AND TWO MORE IN THE MIDDLE ON TRACK 1, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!
VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND STILL HOLDS A LOVELY SHINE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THER QUITE A FEW HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND JST A COUPLE OF COSMETIC TINY MARKS, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO WORRY ABOUT, AS THEY JUST HAVE A VISUAL AFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NOT AN AUDIO AFFECT !!!! SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND IT IS BETTER THAN EXCELLENT, SO COULD HAVE GONE EX/EX+, BUT DUE TO THE RAREITY OF THIS ALBUM, I AM PLAYING IT SAFE, AND I WILL GRADE THE AUDIO A SUPERB :: EX .
LABELS :: LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW SPINDLE LINES, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .
POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, JUST SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND CELLOTAPE ALONG ONE SIDE EDGE, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW INNER WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE :: VG .
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, A BRILLIANT BRITISH BLUES PSYCH ALBUM, THAT PLAYS LIKE A DREAM WITH NOTHING NASTY ON THE AUDIO, AS YOU HAVE JUST SEEN AND READ, SO A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A VERY RARE 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL BRITISH BLUES ROCK MASTERPIECE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE !!!!
