THIS IS SOMETHING SPECIAL. VERY VERY SPECIAL. THE VERY FIRST MONO UK PRESSING OF THE YARDBIRDS "FIVE LIVE", RECORDED AT THE MARQUEE CLUB.THIS IS THE BANDS DEBUT ALBUM ON THE BLACK/BLUE COLUMBIA RECORD LABELS. A VERY GENUINE FIRST UK PRESSING IN THE MOST SPECTACULAR CONDITION. THIS IS A PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY. THE LEGEND THAT IS ERIC CLAPTON AT THE START OF HIS CAREER.

THIS IS IN ABSOLUTE ARCHIVE CONDITION. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS FIRST RATE. THIS WILL NEVER REQUIRE UPGRADING. I PERSONALLY, AND VERY GENUINLY BELIEVE THAT THERE COULD NOT BE A BETTER COPY IN EXISTENCE. THIS IS SO VERY NEAR TO MINT, AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND FAULT WITH. FOR SALE QUITE RELUCTANTLY, BUT SOMETIMES NEEDS MUST. AROUND 45 YEARS OLD NOW, AND PROBABLY AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT LEFT THE SHOP ON DAY ONE. IMPOSSIBLE? THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE COPY. YOU WILL NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER, SEE A COPY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE AGAIN. MISS IT AT YOUR PERIL.

THIS IS A NEAR MINT ARCHIVE EXAMPLE, AND ONE FOR THE MOST DISCERNING OF COLLECTORS. I AM SELLING WITHOUT RESERVE, AS I CONFIDENTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL REACH ITS TRUE MARKET VALUE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM ME. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IS ON OFFER:-

THE COVER: IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NO STORAGE WEAR AT ALL. SHARP CORNERS, VIVID COLOURS. PERFECT WHITE FLIPBACK REAR. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT COULD GET.

THE INNER SLEEVE: IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. COMPANY ADVERT TYPE. NO CREASES, NO DAMAGE. AGAIN, AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

LABELS AND VINYLS: LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT ORDER. HARD TO SEE ANY SPINDLE TRACE, EVEN IN STRONG ANGLED LIGHT. NO EVIDENCE OF PLAY AT ALL. STUNNING. THE VINYLS ARE VISUALLY AWESOME. AGAIN IN STRONG ANGLED LIGHT, THERE IS NOTHING BUT THE TINIEST WHISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS TO BE SEEN. THE DISC HAS BEEN STORED OUTSIDE OF ITS COVER IN AN ANTI-STATIC INNER SLEEVE. ITS NORMAL SLEEVE HAS BEEN STORED INSIDE THE COVER. VINYL GRADED AS NEAR MINT.

HOW DOES IT SOUND?: THE SOUND PRODUCED IS POWERFUL AND DYNAMIC. VIRTUALLY WITHOUT ANY UNWANTED OBTRUSIVE NOISE. THIS IS A SUPERB RECORDING. NO DISTORTION. NO GROOVE WEAR. FIRST RATE AND PLAYED MAYBE JUST 3 TIMES IN ITS LIFETIME. AUDIO GRADED AS NEAR MINT.

THATS ABOUT IT REALLY. PRETTY NEAR MINT CONDITION ALL ROUND, AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. DON'T MISS THIS.
