Description

ATTENTION STEPPENWOLF,1960s PROGRESSIVE/PSYCHEDELIC ROCK AND $TATESIDE LABEL COLLECTORS!   HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 1ST UK PRESSING STEREO ISSUE OF THE STEPPENWOLF ALBUM:"THE SECOND" ON THE EMI PRESSED $TATESIDE LABELS UNLIKE LATER REISSUES. $TATESIDE SSL 5003 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1G/B-1G MATRIXES AND VERY THICK VINYL.

MANY OF THE COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD WERE PLAYED ON OLDER,HEAVIER EQUIPMENT RESULTING IN MAJOR DAMAGE.HARDLY ANY DECENT STEREO COPIES SURVIVE 51 YEARS LATER AND THERE WAS NO MONO ISSUE IN THE USA!

THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE.

HOUSED IN THE USUALLY MISSING CURVED EDGES PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" TEXT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS LP AND THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 6812(DECEMBER 1968)DATE CODE AND THE "FILE UNDER POPULAR:POP GROUPS" TEXT.

 THERE ARE SOME LIGHT,MOSTLY FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS.THERE IS A LITTLE,FAINT SURFACE NOISE NOTICEABLE ON SOME OF THE QUIETER PASSAGES BUT THIS IS STILL A VERY,VERY NICE COPY INDEED!

THE RECORD IS SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC WOULD PASS AS EXCELLENT!.

 THE COVER HAS QUITE A FEW CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT  SURFACE STAINING BUT THERE IS NO WRITING OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE STEPPENWOLF AND OTHER PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW.  PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME. 

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!!!!
