Description
NIRVANA All Of Us 1968 UK ISLAND 1st PRESS - SUPERB COPY - NEAR MINT
NIRVANAAll Of Us
UK ISLAND (ILPS 9087) FIRST PRESSING (September 1968 ) OF NIRVANA'S SECOND LP "The Existence of Chance Is Everything and Nothing While the Greatest Achievement Is the Living of Life, and so Say All of Us' OR SIMPLY "All of Us"
FANTASTIC COPY OF THIS BRIT PSYCH CLASSIC
SEEN LITTLE, IF ANY PLAY AND SOUNDS LIKE NEW
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE ROUGHLY TEXTURED ISLAND LABELS WITH THE ORANGE/BLACK CIRCULAR EYE LOGO
MATRIX: ILPS+9087+A / ILPS+9087+B
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WITH ITS DRAMATIC FRONT IMAGE
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIE-CUT INNER SLEEVE
One of the most striking things about Nirvana's second album is the front cover image which depicts some of history's most (in)famous military figures leading a procession through an avenue of dead bodies.
Despite this provocative and disturbing image, 'All Of Us' is mostly gentle orchestral psych and possibly the most commercially viable of their albums.
'Rainbow Chaser' was to be their only UK top 40 hit (with its prominent and incredibly effective use of phasing throughout) and the three-part run of 'Girl In The Park', 'Miami Masquerade' and 'Frankie The Great' represents the most pop-centric product of their psychedelic formula.
Elsewhere the songwriting team of Alex Spyropoulos and Patrick Campbell-Lyons combine to great effect on beautiful 'Tiny Goddess', 'Trapeze' and 'Melanie Blue' where harpsichords, lush arrangements and dreamy vocals come together to form a winning concoction.

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright and fresh labels with no prominent spindle marks at all that I can see
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but the normal pressing blemishes common on these early Island releases but none of theses have any effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
This practically untouched copy plays with no major audible issues of note.
No loud or pops and clean on the quieter sections.
An occasional tick noted but nothing really.
A really fine original copy and they really do not come much better
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The cover is in stunning condition.
Bothe front and back laminated surfaces have a deep gloss and all edges are crisp and sharp.
Just a little shop creasing on the spine.
All spine text is clear and bold
