UK 1969 1st original pressing
VERY hard to find, even in average condition - this LP was quickly deleted
HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT EXAMPLE
haunting acid folk album with psych elements
buried deep in the English underground scene of 1969
a classic UK Harvest LP with one of the most gorgeous gatefold covers (artwork by Joan Melville) ever seen
everything about this record is mysterious and magical
a totally buried, underground experience
EXTREMELY RARE IN THIS CONDITION
record VERY NEAR MINT
super high gloss surfaces - merely a few of the lightest paper traces from the poly-lined inner sleeve - plays beautifully throughout - 36 years old but in close to as new condition - the superb original Harvest inner depicting a treasure trove of classic UK underground sleeve art is in creamy white excellent condition with jet-black, sharp, clear printing
labels MINT
original, plain 'no EMI logo' labels are sharp, clear, clean and bright - there are NO spindle marks
cover NEAR MINT
corners have just the tiniest of light bumps and there is a small, almost invisible scuff to the top right rear (see photos) - razor-sharp opening edges - nice tight seams with hardly any signs of shelf wear - superb undamaged flat spine with crystal-clear, sharp and jet-black lettering (see photo) - gatefold sleeve is overall extremely beautiful - one of the most crisp, sharp and bright examples I've seen, especially considering the relative fragility of the unlaminated surfaces and delicate, pale colouring - superb unmarked matt finish to the front and back with no creases and only the slightest hint of an impression of the record to the top centre rear - lovely bright, white and clean interior with a fantastic shot of the trio is perfect and as new - there is no circular wear to either the front, inside or rear cover - no writing, stickers, stains or other defacement - an amazingly fine example!
ABSURDLY DIFFICULT TO FIND NOW IN ANY CONDITION - THIS ONE IS SUPERB
BAD PENNY
A GLADE SOMEWHERE
