Description
ATTENTION JETHRO TULL,ISLAND LABEL AND 1960s PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUPS ALBUM COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 1ST STEREO ISSUE OF THE ESSENTIAL FIRST ALBUM FROM JETHRO TULL:"THIS WAS" ISSUED ON THE "ROUGH TEXTURED" PINK ISLAND LABELS WITH THE "BULLSEYE" CIRCLE LOGO WHICH WAS CHANGED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LP FIRST CAME OUT NEARLY 49 YEARS AGO:ILPS 9085 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE +A/+B MATRIXES. VERY THICK VINYL! HOUSED IN THE CURVED EDGES DIE CUT PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PATENT APPLIED FOR" CREDIT AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE VERY THICK SPINE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER. THE ULTRA THICK SPINES WERE SWIFTLY CHANGED AS WHEN THEY WERE STACKED UP AT THE FACTORY,THERE WERE UNEVEN PILES!
THIS COPY IS FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE AND PLAYS NICELY WITH LOTS OF BASS. THERE IS A MARK WHICH SOUNDS FOR THE LAST PART OF THE FIRST TRACK AND MOST OF THE SECOND BUT IT IS NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE! THERE IS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT GENERALLY THERE IS NOT MUCH SURFACE NOISE-NO NASTY SWISHES,NO JUMPS OR STICKS. THERE IS A PREVIOUS OWNERS NAME IN PEN ON ONE OF THE LABELS BUT NOT ON THE COVER!.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE ONE MARK MENTIONED ABOVE AND A FEW ISOLATED AND FAINT "POPS" HERE AND THERE,THIS RECORD IS STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO NEAR EXCELLENT! MEGA-THICK VINYL. THE LAMINATED COVER HAS A FEW SMALL CREASES,MOSTLY AT THE EDGES AND A LITTLE SURFACE STAINING BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE THICK SPINE DETAILS ARE EASY TO READ! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS AS WELL AS THE THICK COVER SPINE!
A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT 1960s LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.
AIR MAIL POSTAGE TO EUROPE £7 AND REST OF THE WORLD £10.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
