Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Andromeda called "Andromeda" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press RCA label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE RCA LABEL (AND ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST UK PROG/PSYCH LPs EVER!) - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS RCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS LAMIANTED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL RCA UK 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SF 8031 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press RCA 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 (apart from a TINY touch around 1 centre hole), NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT 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 only 1 absolutely TINY hairline type mark, only 3 or 4 MEGA light hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, barely ANY clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! However, as most prog/psych collectors will already know, RCA never gave any promotion or time to this LP (probably because they rated the bands chances of success as zero!) - and as with ALL 1st Pressings of this LP (as is well documented), the record was never pressed on the highest quality of vinyl, and so this record does have some slight background sound in places (as almost every 1st Pressing does!). However, this is lost WAY behind all but the VERY quietest parts of the music ONLY (of which there is barely ANY!) - and as 99% of this record is VERY loud, it plays VERY well indeed and is a GREAT listen (I played it end to end just now!)!!!! The record must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!! 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 inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The 1st Press Laminated Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition - and one of the BEST I have EVER seen on this LP!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO yellowing, VERY shiny laminate, only a MEGA thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not better - and is very VERY hard indeed to find like this!!!! SUPERB COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
