RECORDING FORMAT: LP

LABEL: JACK´S BEAT RECORDS

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: DENMARK

YEAR OF RELEASE: 1968

MATRIX CODE SIDE B: BRLP 2003 – B (Stamped)

CONDITION: (vinyl/cover) VG/NM ***VERY NICE COPY!*** (Please read detailed information below!)

Tremendously rare Danish mellow Folk/Psychedelia. My hippie connections in Denmark raves about that 100 copies were manufactured by the small Jack´s Beat Records in 1968. This copy has the rare "butterfly" intact on front as well. This so called "butterfly" is actually a piece of art made by dried leaves glued as wings over a drawing of a butterfly´s body and then there is some sort of laminate pasted on. I have been told that most copies lacks this piece of art. As far as I know, this record has never been offered on eBay before. And presumably only a handful in circulation. So; here´s a fine chance to obtain this mega-rarity! No reserve.

COVER; The cover consists of two identical printed cardboard sheets of which the one with the attached butterfly, will be referred to as the front cover. The front cover is in really nice condition with just some very insignificant bending at top left corner. There is some light discoloration on top edge. The butterfly is intact. The front cover clearly grades as NEAR MINT. The back cover has some mild bending on top left and top right corner respectively. There is some light discoloration on top edge as well as some light peel off on top edge, which is hardly noticable. The back cover is very close to a NEAR MINT-grading, but because of the peel off, well settle for a very conservative VERY GOOD PLUS. But very nice condition as a whole.

VINYL; Side A of the vinyl shows light hairlines and paperscuffs, when held under strong light. There are two rather nasty looking marks of which I´ve managed to picture the worse looking. Luckily, this one looks much worse than it impacts the sound. This is a nice heavy weight vinyl and is visually graded as VERY GOOD. Aurally; some background crackle can be heard throughout this side and light ticks can be heard when the needle passes the pictured scratch. Audible graded as VERY GOOD.

Side B of the vinyl has light hairlines visible under strong light. From some angles a rather strange marbled effect appears, almost as if some strange liquid has been spilled. My guess is that this originates from the pressing procedure when the new added colour is mixed somewhat improperly with the old one. Part from the marbled effect, this side is visually graded as VERY GOOD PLUS. Some background crackle and a few light pops can be heard here as well, so it gets an audible VERY GOOD-grading.

LABELS; Both labels looks very nice with just some very light spindle marks, slightly more evident on side B.

I use GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS – MINT/NEAR MINT

___________________________________________________________________________

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original lustre may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl lustre, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little lustre and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws
