STEAMHAMMER, REFLECTION ORIG UK Mono PROG BLUES ROCK LP

Original UK Orange CBS M  63611 from 1969.

Super rarest monophonic pressing has the best sound quality.

Classic progressive blues rock masterpiece.  Their 1st and best LP by far.  This landmark band had several personnel changes but this is the original and best lineup.

Features fantastic electric guitar and powerful vocals – a timeless album.   One of the best LPs on this label.

Earliest 1st pressing has A1/B1 matrix stampings.

EX+  / EX+ (Record / Cover).

The record is visually in EX+ (M- - ) condition and plays EX to EX+ with occasional light random surface noise mostly in the quiet parts.  While this record plays a bit noisy in parts the sound quality is so strong in this 1st mono pressing that it is still a very enjoyable listen.

The disc is heavy and nice and flat.
The labels have half a dozen spindle marks on each side but are otherwise bright and  clean.

Earliest printing gatefold cover has the best possible (unfaded) graphics you will ever see on this cover, the browns and golds are very rich and saturated and the purple printing is also the best you will ever see.  The cover has no wear (near mint) on all face surfaces inside and out.  Flaws include moderate chipping/wear on the spine and a gradual wave on the back – the cover is not perfectly flat.  The top 2 cm of the spine is lightly split but this would be an easy repair.

Includes original earliest possible CBS (with Simon and Garfunkle) advertising inner sleeve.

ALL RECORDS COMPLETELY PLAY GRADED ON MY SYSTEM (SEE PHOTO) INCLUDING BENZ LP CARTRIDGE, VECTOR 4 ARM, BASIS DEBUT TURNTABLE, VIVA AURORA POWER, AND AVANTE GARDE DUO SPEAKERS.

 SORRY I AM NOT ABLE TO SHIP ITEMS TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION DO TO LONG DELAYS WITH THEIR POSTAL AND CUSTOMS SYSTEM. 

 I AM VERY SORRY BUT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEND ANY RECORDS OUTSIDE THE US.  THIS MAKES ME VERY SAD BECAUSE I REALLY ENJOY ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THAT I HAVE TRADED WITH OVER THE YEARS.  IF IT WAS NOT FOR ALL OF YOU I WOULD NOT HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS AND FINE MUSIC.  I FOUND OUT ON 25TH OF FEBRUARY 2013 THAT PAY PAL REQUIRES ONLINE TRACKING AND THE POST OFFICE IS ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE TO THE CUSTER VIA EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL.  THE COST OF THIS SERVICE IS OVER $60.00 TO JAPAN AND AUSTRALIA AND APPROXIMATELY $55.00 TO EUROPE.  ALSO THE POST OFFICE IS NOT ABLE TO GUARANTEE SHIPPING TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION WITHIN THE REQUIREMENT OF PAY PAL.  FOR THESE REASONS I SIMPLY CANNOT SELL RECORDS OUTSIDE THE US IN AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE MANNER AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.  I REALLY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THAT THIS CAUSED.

 BIDDING IS OPEN TO OVERSEAS BUYERS ON THIS ITEM.  PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST, THEN AFTER I EMAIL YOU BACK YOU NEED TO MAKE A BID THAT WILL BE REJECTED BY THE SYSTEM THEN AFTERWARDS I WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO ALLOW YOU TO BID FOR THE REST OF THE AUCTION.  PLEASE BE AWARE THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR BIDS IN THE LAST HOUR OF THE AUCTION SO TRY TO EMAIL ME AND MAKE ONE MARKER BID A DAY OR SO BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS IF POSSIBLE. ONCE THE DOOR IS OPEN YOU MAY THEN BID AT ANY TIME UNTIL THE AUCTION ON THIS ITEM IS OVER IF YOU WANT.  THIS IS MY WAY OF OFFERING SELECT ITEMS TO GO OVERSEAS WITH  A LITTLE BIT OF SCREENING OF THE BUYERS.

SORRY BUT I MUST MAIL EXPRESS ONLY OVERSEAS AND I WILL DISCOUNT THE COST TO $40.00 (MY COST IS $55 in EUROPE AND $60.00 IN AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN).  SORRY FOR THE HASSLE IN BIDDING.

SORRY BUT I CANNOT SHIP TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
