  PETE FINE Reflections On A Day of Crystaline Thought LP ORIGINAL Psych Paste On Sleeve ONE OF A HUNDRED COPIES!
Pete Fine - Reflections On A Day Of Crystaline Thought (Self Published/No Label) 1974 USA

Here is an ORIGINAL copy of Pete Fine's (The Flow) privately pressed orchestral psych masterpiece, 'Reflections On A Day Of Crystaline Thought'. This is NOT the Shadoks reissue, which has the artists' name and title embossed on the sleeve. Issued in an edition of 100 copies, it is extremely scarce, and very rarely comes up for offer. At this time there is only a single listing for an original copy on Collector's Frenzy, from way back in 2009.

This copy features;

Matrix #s : PF - 4374 A / PF - 4374 B

Thick black cardboard jacket.

Paste-on front and back artwork.

Yellow xeroxed insert with art and lyrics.

Hand stamped labels, with the word "Crystalline" spelled with two "L's", as opposed to the one "L" on the back paste-on. You can see how they match that of another original copy here:

Record/Sleeve :

EX/EX :

I play graded this copy and it looks and sounds beautiful, the sonics are way better than on the Shadoks reissue - really deep, full and clear. There are some faint surface scuffs from the paper sleeve, and only occasionally the slightest crackle, which is hardly distracting as the sound is so crisp. There are no noticeable spindle marks on either label.

The jacket looks great, with the lower left corner being just slightly bumped. The front paste-on artwork both front and back looks amazing, with the upper and lower right front artwork's glue just slightly coming undone. The back pink artwork is coming slightly undone at the top, and there are three very tiny stains located in a couple areas of the blank space of the page.

There is a crease on the lower left hand part of the insert.

All in all an insanely nice copy of an absurdly rare record!
