WELCOME TO OUR AUCTION!

On offer today is a Original 1968 UK issue of The Blues Project's 'Projections' LP on the Verve Forecast label!
Released in the USA in the fall of 1966 This was the Blues Project's debut LP, As with standard practice back in the 60's, The time difference between release dates usually was around 6 months or more between USA and UK due to sales figures but also shipping of master tapes / Artwork took much longer than these days, Good example of this were the Velvet Underground and Mothers of Invention releases.  Velvet underground & Nico (USA release March 67'/ UK release November 67')   Mothers of Invention 'Freak Out ' (USA release April 66' / UK release March 67'.  Strange I know, but that was standard practice back then,
This is the original UK 1st press MONO issue (VLP 6004) in the Verve Forecast label complete with original flip back sleeve and inner! Check out the photos!

Sleeve condition : VG  (The Garrod and Lofthouse flipback sleeve is in good strong condition, No Splits, No heavy seam wear, very small tear in rear opening, The front does show some creasing but nothing serious and some creases have browned over the past 50 years but graphics are still crystal clear and the laminate is still very glossy! The back cover shows a little ageing and there is a name "MARBEY" printed on the back. Apart from that it's very nice!

Record condition : VG+ (Record has some light marks but no deep ones, no skips, no jumps, no repeats, Both sides have been carefully play tested and sound great! Only minor crackle during the quiet moments, altogether a really great player! The record still has lots of shine and sounds superb!
