JEFF BECK'S AMAZING GUITARWORK IS THE MAIN ATTRACTION AND SOUNDS MAGNIFICENT ON THIS THICK VINYL,DEEP BASS,LOUD CUT 1ST PRESSING WITH SOLID GUTSY MONO MIXES-THE MONO VERSIONS WERE NO LONGER MADE AFTER 1969 WITH VERY FEW SURVIVING AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!IT'S THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE UK MONO 1968 EDITION ON THE EMI THICK PRESSED COLUMBIA BLUE/BLACK LABELS WITH THE SOLD IN THE UK TEXT-NOT THE SILVER/BLACK BOXED LOGO LABELS DESIGN WHICH WAS ON LATER REPRESSES LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THIS ALBUM'S DEBUT WHEN MOST BUYERS HAD SWITCHED TO STEREO AND OF COURSE BY 1968 MOST NEW MONO RECORD PLAYERS HAD COMPATABLE STEREO CARTRIDGES FITTED TO PLAY STEREO RECORDS SAFELY REDUCING THE DEMAND FOR MONO EDITIONS-SOME SHOPS ONLY GETTING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER-THOSE THAT DID SELL WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT UNLIKE THIS FINE EXAMPLE!FANTASTIC CONDITION+A LAMINATED FRONT WITH FLIPBACK COVER WITH THE FLIPBACK AND THE"PATENTS PENDING"CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED!

SX 6293 +THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES. HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL EMI LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE THAT IS CRISP AND VERY CLEAN!

STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW FAINT SURFACE MARKS,THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS COPY HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

MOST MONO COPIES THAT WERE SOLD 44 YEARS AGO IN 1968 WERE OFTEN 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 AT ALL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED"LOOK! NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR!

A COPY THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED, OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1968! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS!

NOTHING TO HIDE BUT PLEASE EXCUSE THE SLIGHT GLARE IN MY MAIN PHOTO AS BLACK COVERS WITH LAMINATION CAUSE REFLECTION!ONE OF THE BEST 1ST EDITION MONO COPIES I HAVE FOUND IN OVER 25 YEARS AS A DEALER SPECIALISING IN 1960s RECORDS!

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES AND A LITTLE RING WEAR STAINING BUT NO WRITING,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 EXCELLENT CONDITION AND COULD BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST AND BEST 1960s BRITISH PROG/BLUES STEREO LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY PRESSING!

THIS 1ST ISSUE FROM 1968 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
