THE DIRTY BLUES BAND "1ST LP"

ONE OF THE RAREST AND HARDEST TO FIND UK PRESSINGS OF AN AMERICAN BLUES REVIVAL BAND LP IN MONO!

ORIGINAL 1ST UK 1968 MONO ISSUE WITH THICK VINYL AND $TATESIDE LABELS!

A SUPERB LP FROM 42 YEARS AGO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES, NO SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER! 

EMI PRESSED $TATESIDE MONO  LABEL:SL 10234.

SUPER CLEAN GLOSSY FRONT COVER WITH FLIPBACK-PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS!

THE FIRST DECENT COPY IN MONO TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN MONTHS FROM A RELIABLE POWER SELLER AND LONG TERM COLLECTOR!    

TOTALLY WONDERFUL BLUES MUSIC WITH A SLIGHT HINT OF PSYCHEDELIC INFLUENCE WITH SOME NICE ORGAN ON THE TRACKS!

IT GOT MINIMAL EXPOSURE AND WAS A POOR SELLER AT THE TIME,PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE AND THE LAST COPY I SAW AS GOOD AS THIS WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO! 

A SUPERB EXAMPLE!

EARLIEST POSSIBLE UK MONO PRESSING!

ISSUED IN THE USA ON BLUESWAY! 

AN ALBUM THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN RARE IN MONO AS BY 1968,CHEAP COMPATABLE STEREO RECORD PLAYERS EXISTED WITH THE DEMAND FOR MONO VERSIONS LESS THAN EARLIER IN THE DECADE.

THE MAJORITY OF MONO PRESSINGS WERE PLAYED ON RADIOGRAMS,PORTABLE PLAYERS AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT DOZENS OF TIMES,THIS LP HAS HAD HARDLY ANY PLAYS AT ALL!

1960s MONO EQUIPMENT WAS QUITE CRUDE-HEAVY TONEARMS AND MANY BUYERS UNAWARE OF THE NEED TO CHANGE THE STYLI ON A REGULAR BASIS.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADER/ULTIMATE COPY THAN THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

REALISTIC £20 START INCLUDING FREE RECORDED DELIVERY POSTAGE TO THE UK!

EUROPE £5 REST OF THE WORLD£7

JUST ONE OF AN IMPRESSIVE SELECTION OF ORIGINAL UK PRESSED 1960s AND 1970s LPs ON AUCTION FROM ME ON THE SAME EVENING AS THIS ONE! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.

THESE RECORDINGS ARE BRILLIANT.

A BLUES COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND A MONO EDITION OF THIS LP FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A  BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED,THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO SCRATCHES,NO FADING etc.

PLEASE LOOK AT BOTH OF THE PHOTOS!

NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO SPILLAGES,NO LAMINATION PEELING,NO CREASES!.

EVEN THE CURVED CORNERS INNER SLEEVE IS AS NEW AND VERY CLEAN!

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE  LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER 42 YEARS AGO.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THOSE THAT DID WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY-THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.

THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST COPY I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS.

CHECK OUT YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE  YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THESE ARE GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE THICK PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

Just how many were preserved like this one??!!!!!!  

The SOLID MONO mixes are Superb,Rich,warm and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those OVER 42 YEARS AGO!

In the 1960s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

MOST HAD SWITCHED TO STEREO BY THE TIME THIS LP CAME OUT AND THOSE STICKING WITH MONO WERE OFTEN USING DREADFUL EQUIPMENT! 

The 1960s MONO equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BLUES and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER LP-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE!!  

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
