THIRD EAR BAND Alchemy 1969 UK HARVEST 1st PRESS - EXCELLENT COPY - CLEAN SOUND
THIRD EAR BANDAlchemy
UK HARVEST (SHVL 756) FIRST PRESSING (August 1969) OF THIRD EAR BAND'S DEBUT LP
EXCELLENT ORIGINAL COPY - DELIVERS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN SOUND
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE HARVEST LABELS - “THE GRAMOPHONE CO..." RIM TEXT - NO EMI BOXED LOGO
MATRIX: SHVL 756 A-1 / SHVL 756 B-1

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL OUTER LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH UK PATENT NUMBER AND “FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING” PRINTED IN BLUE (this release pre-dates the introduction of the Harvest Company inner sleeve on which this LP features)
Determinedly avant-garde and serious in its undertaking with musical sources ranging from indian raga, jewish litanies, celtic legends, improvisational jazz and medieval english folk, it was unsurprisingly greeted with confusion by its intended 'rock' audience, barely sold, did not chart and was soon deleted

Richard Coff: Violin, Viola
Side One:
Mosaic
Ghetto Raga
Druid One
Stone Circle
Side Two:

LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked labels - moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Some hairlines/brush marks but nothing major or of any major audible significance
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Seen a few spins but plays extremely well - some light surface noted on the quiet/practically silent moments but nothing major - actually sounds better (much cleaner) than many NEAR MINT/MINT looking copies I’ve heard - a sensational piece of work - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
General light wear but nothing major - all spine text is clear and bold
