Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Yes called "Time And A Word" and is an ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Red/Maroon (Plum) Atlantic label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE YES'S ALL TIME RAREST LPS EVER AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF YES'S POOREST SELLING LPs EVER, AND AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!! THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INSERT (SO OFTEN MISSING!)!!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!! IN 1971 YES CREATED 'YESSONGS' AND ADDED IT TO THE CREDITS OF ALL OF THEIR LPs!!!! HOWEVER, THIS LP REALLY THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AS IT HAS NO 'YESSONGS' ON THE LABEL CREDITS AT ALL (LATER ONES DO!)!!!! AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH LABEL - THERE IS LISTED 'CAMPBELL CONNELLY' AND 'FELDMAN' ONLY!!!! WHEREAS ON ALL LATER COPIES OF ALL OF THEIR LPs (FROM 1971 ONWARDS!) 'YESSONGS' WAS ADDED TO THE CREDITS INSTEAD!!!! SO THEIR IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LABEL CREDITS COMPARED TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!!

THIS LP ALSO HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'DAY OF RELEASE' DATE CODED INNER SLEEVE (0970 - September 1970) - !!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS RED/MAROON (PLUM) ATLANTIC LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS LABEL CREDITS (WITH NO 'YESSONGS' CREDITED!), 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS '0970' DATE CODED INNER SLEEVE, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INSERT, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Atlantic UK 1st Pressing from 1970 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 2400 006 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Atlantic Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only two or three light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade excellent if not better - and is very VERY close to a grade above!!!! SUPERB RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press '0970' Date Coded inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! THE ULTRA RARE 'LYRIC' INSERT IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - WITH NO DAMAGE AT ALL!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (PERFECT side words!), NO sticker marks, NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!),the slightest ringwear only from storage, tge faintest rubbing, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to 1 corner tip, NO sticker tears, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO sticker tears, NO rubbing (apart from the usual TINY touch to the VERY top!), NO ringwear, barely ANY yellowing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and is very VERY close to a grade above!!!! SUPERB COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
