ATTENTION THE PRETTY THINGS,1960s BRITISH PROGRESSIVE ROCK,PSYCHEDELIC,BEAT GROUPS COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS OF MONO LPs!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) ESSENTIAL ALBUM BY THE PRETTY THINGS:"EMOTIONS!" WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE SALES OR ATTENTION FAILING TO CHART IN THE UK AND AS SUCH WAS DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND WASN'T EVEN RELEASED IN THE USA! IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING EXCELLENT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!.  IT'S ONE OF THE BEST MONO COPIES I HAVE FOUND AND HEARD IN YEARS AS A DEALER!  NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE! MOST BUYING MONO LPs IN 1967 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY INDEED! BY 1967,MOST NEVER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO RECORDS RESULTING IN FEWER MONO PRESSINGS MADE AND SOLD. INFACT MANY DEALERS WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THE MONO PRESSINGS TO SPECIAL ORDER. THIS EXAMPLE DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN NEARLY 49 YEARS AS WELL AS A CLEAN LAMINATED FRONT +FLIPBACK COVER WITH A POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP!

ISSUED ON THE VERY THICK 100% FLAT VINYL PHILIPS PRESSED FONTANA LABELS: TL 5425 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1L/2L MATRIXES. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1967 MONO COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME SLIGHT USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW FAINT,WISPY HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT.THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE ON THE QUIETER TRACKS BUT NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! THE 1967 MONO PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER STEREO REPRESSINGS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION! THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  THE COVER HAS SOME MINOR STAINING AT THE BACK AND A FEW SMALL CREASES-MOSTLY NEAR THE EDGES AND AN ULTRA TINY EDGE TEAR AT THE BACK LEAD IN EDGE BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
