This is an Original1969 UK First pressing of the genius Prog Psych /Rock LP called Faintly Blowing by KALEIDOSCOPE on FONTANA records.This record is excruciatingly rare and getting eye wateringly painful to find a decent copy like this one right here.
THE SLEEVE.
What a sleeve... They don`t make them like this anymore... Incredible artwork here. This lot were a proper bunch of hippies but what an LP sleeve and what an album they produced here ! If you have`nt heard this magical LP, why ? You are just letting the best things in life pass you by. Every track is a CORKER !
The very slightest edge ware very slight damage to some corners but no rips or tares and no unwanted handwriting anywhere on this great item. If you look at the inside open Gate Fold top center on the inside of the spine it may look like there is a rip a couple of inches long. There is no rip. It is a branch from the tree ! Strange because it looks like a rip even as its in my hand. there is a tiny 5mm crack in the laminate on the back of the sleeve with the track listing. Double click the pictures. Inside the gate fold is problem free.The sleeve is EXCELLENT MINUS.
THE VINYL.The beautiful FONTANA silver typeset on black background lower label track listing, then transposed black font on silver backround upper record labels, are in STUNNING condition to both sides of the LP. As you can see the labels FIRST PRESSING identifier is a very heavily textured label that we have here, on later pressings the labels are smooth.Side one has a mark on track 1 that is visible in the pictures see close ups but there is nothing feelable anywhere on this vinyl . There are some marks to the vinyl on both sides but nothing at all to spoil this great LP .Side two is very similar there are some marks to the vinyl and a very light mark that goes across the LP these are only visible when tilted into the light they do not cause any problems during play back, one or two pops or clicks when listening with an ultra critical ear but this 1960`s wax was the most durable that the industry ever used and the playback is SUPERB. The vinyl grades EXCELLENT MINUS.
This is an exceptionally RARE opportunity to grab one of the MAJOR Prog rock MONSTER RARE albums ever put on sale in this country !
