Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Marmalade called "Reflections Of The Marmalade" and is an ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Decca label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE DECCA LABEL AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE MONO!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! AMAZINGLY, THIS WAS THE VERY LAST DECCA LP EVER MADE, THAT WAS MADE AVAILABLE IN MONO!!!! AND ONLY DAYS AFTER THIS LP WAS RELEASED, DECCA DECIDED TO STOP ANY FURTHER MONO PRESSINGS OF ALL OF THEIR LPs - AND ALL MONOs ON THE DECCA LABEL WERE DELETED FOREVER (LEAVING THIS LP THEN AVAILABLE IN STEREO ONLY!)!!!! AND IN ANY CASE, EVEN ON THE FEW SHORT DAYS WHEN THIS LP WAS AVAILABLE IN MONO (LESS THAN A WEEK!) BEFORE IT WAS DELETED - MOST UK SHOPS HAD LONG SINCE STOPPED STOCKING MONOs - AND IN MOST CASES A MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY!!!! AND AS A RESULT, FINDING A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IN MEGA RARE MONO IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1A/1A MONO MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS RED MONO INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'ROBERT STACE' LAMINATED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN MONO - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK 1st Pressing from 1970 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 5047 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Decca label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 1 ULTRA light hairline trace, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Red Mono inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Robert Stace' Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, what looks like a 1 TINY 'mark' towards the top right corner (see picture), sand NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN MEGA RARE MONO(!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
