Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

THE HOLLIES
Evolution
Very Rare Stereo 1st Pressing!
On offer here is an original 1967 stereo press of the Hollies LP 'Evolution'
The Hollies were looking to branch away from pop and explore a more psychedelic sound. Evolution was the result. Released in 1967 and recorded in Abbey Road Studios at the same time as the Beatles were there recording Sgt. Peppers, it managed to reach just 13 in the UK album charts.
This LP also features a young Elton John, who played piano on Water On the Brain and Hammond organ on You Need Love.
This copy also features extremely low stampers of 1A/1R, implying that this copy was one of the first 900 ever pressed!
The US release of this album was remixed using heavy echo and reverb. 3 songs were also left off the album, making the UK issue the superior version to have!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
