**********************************************

THE BONZOS INFUENCED MANY OTHERS SUCH AS MONTY PYTHON AND THIS COMPILATION FROM 35 YEARS AGO IN 1974 WHEN THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY SET WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

HARDLY ANYONE THOUGHT LONG TERM VALUE AND VERY,VERY FEW WOULD PLAY SUCH MUSIC IN THE SAME CAREFUL WAY THAT CLASSICAL BUYERS WOULD.THIS COPY IS THE EXCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANY COMEDY/1960s POP/BEAT FAN WILL WANT THIS AND ESPECIALLY AS A FIRST EDITION IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION-I CAN'T RECALL EVER FINDING A SET AS GOOD AS THIS FOR YEARS-JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY FROM AN EQUALLY LONG TERM EBAY SUPPLIER OF TOP QUALITY VINTAGE RECORDS!

NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE A TRULY AMAZING SELECTION OF MORE 1970s LPs ENDING SHORTLY BEFORE AND AFTER THIS LP ENDS.ALL HAVING JUST ONE PREVIOUS,CAREFUL OWNER!YOU REALLY MUST CHECK OUT MY EBAY LIST FOR MORE DETAILS AS WELL AS MY FEEDBACK! 

THIS IS A LOVELY VINYL PRESSING.

This is a THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from later years with LATER label designs.

SO BACK TO THE DISCS >>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS DOUBLE LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED ON TOP EQUIPMENT WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER!

GENERALLY VERY QUIET VINYL,AS NEEDED!

Copies of this DOUBLE album were sold in reasonable quantities but how many were preserved like this one AS A FIRST EDITION WITH SUCH A TOP COVER +BOOKLET?

HARDLY USED AND NOT ABUSED!!! 

THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BONZOS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

GREAT SOUND! 

MORE BASS THAN CD! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!! 

The  cover has a couple of tiny edge creases but that is being very strict!

THICK SPINE! 

NO WRITING! NO RIPS! NO REPAIRS!

NO SELLOTAPE! NO STAINING!

MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR!

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1980s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
