The Zombies: odessey and oracle orig. UK 1st press CBS 63280 orig UK press this one is the very first press before it was even clear there would be a stereo release. it does not indicate whether it is mono or stereo, the number, label and matrix do not carry letters. when time of the season became a success a second press, mono and stereo was released adding letters to the number. textured labels with a nice glossy rim laminated single cover with paper back is in near mint condition vinyl is near mint to excellent condition with one superfical scuff and one very thin hairline under light that do not effect play. great album sorry, I am not registered with paypal, but I have a address for cash payment in the USA for a registered / insured letter only, please. items are located in germany, shipping costs may vary within germany / europe and to the USA and other countries outside germany.

yeah, hope my desciption is not too confusing.here is additional info to the story. the album I am selling does include time of the season! it is the first mono press as it came out without letters with the number in the vinyl and on the label. after time of the season became a hit they made a second pressing right after the first press. the second was in stereo and mono, they are also originals, but came out slightly after this one and carry the letters indicating mono / stereo. this is how much I could find out about the album. for the first press the band had to pay out of their private pocket for the costs of the vinyl - pressing and cover - print. only few were pressed, because the record company only payed for the recording session then with the hit single agreed to invest more. so many originals are original, also rare, but factually might be second pressings!?

the matrix numbers 63280 A1 and 63280 B1 are machine stamped into the trail off of the vinyl. the superfical scuff I am mentioning is in between two songs, does not effect play. the hairline is very fine and thin and goes with the groove of the record. the record is in near mint to excellent condition except these visual marks that might anoy mint collectors: please do not bit!
