Description

THE YARDBIRDS - LITTLE GAMES.

GERMAN original 1st pressing 12" LP on the Yellow EPIC label.

BN 26 313. (1968). (STEREO). Fully laminated sleeve!


I'm selling some of my higher-end, collectible, investment-grade vinyl LP's.

Some of it is the work of 30 years of collecting. I'll be sad to see these go - but they need re-homing for others to enjoy.

Keep an eye out for my listings over the coming weeks...


'LITTLE GAMES' is a killer psychedelic progressive album featuring Jimmy Page on guitar in his pre-Led Zep days!!!

Some great riffs and wah-wah drenched guitar in places. you can hear some proto-Zep sounds going on here.


Stunning audio. These German original presses were of very high quality. Little Games as an album never got a UK release. You'll find USA copies in varying states of condition - but only very occasionally a German original. For me, it's similar to getting a UK pressing... the laminated sleeve and quality vinyl make it close to any UK issue if there was one (there isn't!).  This has a very clean intact cover. Most turn up with chunks of print and laminate missing. This one has survived the last 48 years pretty much unscathed!


Immaculate yellow EPIC labels are in top shape - EX+ to Near Mint.


The vinyl is glossy, shiny and free from any flaws. Playback is glorious, warm and full sounding. Some of the wah-wah guitar sections and stereo-panning sounds fabulous. The audio depth and clarity is AMAZING.

An awesome copy of this VERY sought after gem. As good as you can hope to find.


The fully laminated sleeve grades EX+ on the front and back - absolutely stunning.

No real issues from I can see! Fully brilliant, glossy lamination, crisp spine, vibrant print and colour.


The plain white anti-static lined inner sleeve looks to be a newer, later replacement. I may have a spare plain paper inner sleeve, from the correct era, if this is a deal-breaker.


A copy like this will only surface for sale very occasionally. Don't miss out.


Please ask any questions.  Item will be sent with insured with tracking, packaged in two cardboard cruciform mailers, plus card separators, with loads of parcel tape.
