Spicks and Specks was released in 1966 on the Spin label
What makes this LP so valuable ?
I will quote a passage from The Ultimate Biography
To capitalise on the immediate success of "Spicks and Specks"Spin appear to have had a last minute change of mind about the title of the album that was to accompany their new single. "Monday's Rain" contained their new single and the original 11songs from their March-May sessions.
Manufacture had commenced in early October but no sooner had the master been placed on the presses then it was taken off again and all copies of the album destroyed. As usually happens in such instances a few copies still managed to find their way out of the factory and are highly prized by those fortunate enough to possess them.
The reason behind the decision was that Spin had noted a change in the public attitude and wished to repackage the album with same title as the single. In the event, production of the Spicks and Specks LP had initially not gone smoothly and, in the haste to make the change,the first batch bore the same catalogue number as the unissued Monday's Rain, and side one still bore the original title. Needless to say, a couple of these escaped destruction and are even rarer than the original pressing.
