THE FACTORY
"PATH THROUGH THE FOREST" b/w "GONE"
MGM RECORDS MGM 1444 ~ Vintage first pressing 7" (Release lable - Not a repro! Not a DEMO either - Way rarer!!)
THE 'HOLY GRAIL' of UK psychedelia from 1968 - BOTH this band's singles were marginal releases for the public ear at the time. Neither got airplay, and the style wasn't even considered as a genre unto itself at the time really. Bands like The Pink Floyd had a following due to their live profile in the UFO scene, and even Paper Blitz Tissue put themselves out in London to get some attention. I don't think The Factory promoted this or their CBS 7" 'Try A Little Sunshine' that followed the next year. So, both their releases came and went without any notice at all - both as scarce as each other and usually only found as Demo copies when and if they do come up for sale. See POPSIKE, where the sales are normally documented - there just aren't any copies coming up, and they are revered Worldwide as prized pieces from the top drawer of Psych!! Both tracks are excellent and stand alone as top quality psych beat - either could have made the 'A' side too!
This 7" plays well, sounds great loud and clear!

CONDITION:
The vinyl is in EX condition, a couple of very superficial marks only, and not affecting play whatsoever
Lables are bright, though a sticker removal caused some of the yellow of one side of the lable to tear away. (I made a sort-of basic attempt years back, to get the lettering of MGM back by filling in the 'M' which is in the correct size and place) The original MGM company sleeve is included
A really nice copy of this highly regarded, collectible gem!
