	£		98
	$		130

ATTENTION JETHRO TULL,ISLAND LABEL AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS.  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK PRESSED 1ST MONO EDITION OF THE FIRST JETHRO TULL ALBUM:"THIS WAS". 

1968 ISLAND PINK+"BULLSEYE"/"CIRCLE WITH ORANGE/BLACK LOGO DESIGN LABEL WITH THE ROUGH TEXTURED EFFECT,RAISED RIMS AND VERY THICK VINYL INDEED. 

SERIOUSLY RARE IN MONO AS BY 1968 EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS HAD COMPATIBLE CARTRIDGES FITTED REDUCING THE DEMAND FOR MONO COPIES WITH MANY DEALERS ONLY OBTAINING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER!      THE MAJORITY OF MONO COPIES THAT DID SELL WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT. THIS ONE HAS HAD VERY CAREFUL USE AND PLAYS SUPERB!

HOUSED IN THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER  WITH A MUCH THICKER SPINE. THERE ARE A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE EDGE WEAR  BUT NO WRITING,RIPS STAINING OR REPAIRS.THIS EXAMPLE HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS WITH THE RECORD HAVING GLEAMING SURFACES-JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS ON EACH SIDE BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS TO SEE BOTH LABELS AS WELL AS BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER AND THE WIDE SPINE.

VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION.PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY OTHER CLASSIC ROCK  MUSIC ALBUMS!  UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TWICE TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS. PLEASE BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. 

A REALISTIC,LOW £50 STARTING PRICE BUT REMEMBER THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS LIKE THIS EXAMPLE IN MONO ARE SERIOUSLY RARE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION DIRECT FROM A LONG TERM COLLECTOR WHO KEPT HIS RECORDS AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT ON STURDY SHELVES AND IS A NON-SMOKER!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

GREAT SOLID BASS FILLED MONO MIXES WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS! TOTALLY FLAT AND THICK VINYL! 

GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
