ATTENTION BLUES ALBUM,FLEETWOOD MAC AND BLUE HORIZON COLLECTORS! 

HERE'S THE ESSENTIAL 1968 ALBUM FROM DUSTER BENNETT FEATURING THREE MEMBERS OF FLEETWOOD MAC:

 "SMILING LIKE I'M HAPPY".

THIS IS CONSIDERED BY MANY COLLECTORS AS ONE OF THE FINEST BLUES REVIVAL ALBUMS OF THE LATE 1960s AND THIS ONE HAS THE MAIN ATTRACTION OF BEING A FIRST EDITION MONO LP IN SIMPLY AMAZING NEAR MINT CONDITION!

THERE WAS MINIMAL ATTENTION AND SALES FOR THIS LP WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE! IN 1968 THERE WERE VERY FEW MONO EDITIONS MADE AS MOST BUYERS HAD SWITCHED TO STEREO AND EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO RECORDS RESULTING IN MOST MONO COPIES BEING OBTAINED BY SPECIAL ORDER. THOSE THAT DID SELL USUALLY ENDED UP ON OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT. THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED! UPGRADER STANDARD!

CBS PRESSED BLUE HORIZON "ROUGH TEXTURED" LABELS 7-63208 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A1/B1 MATRIXES! GLEAMING SURFACES WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY AND FAINT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT. FLAT,THICK VINYL!  HOUSED IN THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER WHICH IS VERY CLEAN INDEED WITH JUST A FEW MINOR CREASES AND HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENT PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS LP AND NOT ON LATER COVERS! PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS THAT INCLUDE THE PROOF OF THIS! 

SHARP LABEL PRINT WITH NO FADING,WRITING OR TEARS.JUST A TINY SPOT STAIN ON ONE OF THE LABELS. NO SPINDLE WEAR.

THE RECORD IS SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS,NO CLICKS,JUMPS,STICKS,DISTORTION OR NASTY LOUD SURFACE SWISHES!

THE CURVED EDGES INNER SLEEVE HAS THE "MADE IN ENGLAND" AND "PATENT APPLIED FOR" TEXT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED AND IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION WITH NO SPLITS(MOST DO!),NO RIPS,NO STAINING,NO WRITING,NO REPAIRS ETC! JUST A FEW CORNER CREASES.
