Description

LP NIRVANA: "... ALL OF US"

ISLAND ILPS 9087 (1968)

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE ENGLISH NIRVANA FROM THE 1960s AND IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE US BAND FEATURING KURT COBAIN
 
This is an OUTSTANDING copy of NIRVANA'S album "... ALL OF US" (The full title is "The Existence of Chance is Everything and Nothing While the Greatest Achievement is the Living of Life And So Say All of Us".)

This classic album is very hard to find at the best of times as it did not sell all that well. However, you are VERY unlikely to ever see one in this condition!

DISC: This copy may NEVER been played: there are NO spindle marks, NO fingerprints, NO hairline grazes from being taken in and out of the inner sleeve, NO minor marks, grazes or abrasions of ANY kind.

What I would point out however is that the actual vinyl material used is not necessarily of the highest quality.  I would suggest that the vinyl is contains a certain percentage of recycled vinyl or is otherwise of a lower grade than some.

This is perfectly normal but I would point out that it means that the record, on first inspection looks maybe 99% immaculate rather than 100%! There is nothing wrong with it, but to the experienced eye it has the look of a record pressed as I have described.

The pressing plant was almost certainly PYE in Wimbledon, London They did many Island releases at that time and the deadwax matrix number typeface is certainly by Pye.

SLEEVE: The sleeve is 99% Immaculate. The only faults are a slight crease to the lower front right corner, and a similar very slight hint of a crease to the left upper front corner. They are not full creases, but rather, weak areas where  a crease has almost  happened.
 
The record I would describe as MINT, the sleeve, at worst, is 99.9% MINT.

1st label: VERY early copy, from 1968 or early 1969.

TRACK LISTING:-

The second Nirvana album is rated by most people as their best album, containing the hit and minor classic "Rainbow Chaser" and is rather less whimsical than their remarkable first album.

Elsewhere the delicate "Tiny Goddess" was a much played on radio at the time but missed out on the charts, while "The Touchables" was from the film of the same name.

The album marked progress in their musical direction showing a more mature approach and sadly was never bettered.
