 Super ultra RARE MONO recording  ! ! Incredibly difficult to locate in this condition, but this also comes with the scarce, lyric insert/poster . ONLY 500 of these posters were ever produced and only a handful survived. A truly, scarce example of music history.

Beautifully maintained vinyl surfaces ! This has had only 3 or 4 plays since I bought it!  So its time to see what I can get for this LP which is in amazing condition and only had a few plays.

This gives TOP aural delivery with a profound depth of sound !  

 Black track first issue labels ,  with faint spindle traces only.

 Rare 1st UK Pressing

MONO IS RENOWNED FOR BEING THE  DEFINITIVE  RECORDING  OF  THIS  MASTERPIECE!

There are very pleasing and significant differences between the two mixes that make the MONO version extremely special to collectors :

EXP is shorter without the extended feedback at the end and the vocals are louder.
Castles Made of Sand features a different vocal performance.
One Rainy Wish has a slightly different ending.

Mono is well preferred by many with the much deeper, sharp tones and the profound depth of aural delivery. There are other minor differences too, spanning the entire playback, as a result of the separate mixing to mono as opposed to merely combining the stereo tracks. Hence its apparent high value and appeal from collectors worldwide.

The record is perfectly flat and looks in near mint condition with no major visible signs of use and a lovely mirror like surface to both sides.This is another rare LP from my personal collection.It has been play tested before listing on my Linn Sondek turntable,through Quad amps to Spendor speakers-

IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS SUPERB-LOUD MONO POWERFUL SOUND WITH  MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE AT THE BEGINNING OF BOTH SIDES(NO JUMPS OR SKIPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE 2 SIDES).

I WOULD GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT ,IT PLAYS WITH HARDLY ANY BACKGROUND NOISE . 

I HAVE RECORDED BOTH FULL SIDES OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO BELOW(this is in mp3 format and is not a true reflection on how good this LP sounds,it is just a guide to the condition that it is in)

 Labels are in near mint condition with some very minor spindle marks (see pics)  

Original orange lyric insert in excellent condition with no rips or tears, just some minor creases(see pics) 

 Inner sleeve is in excellent condition.

A lovely rare LP!
