Indescribably essential. It saddens me to think he only was around, musically, for about three years, but also amazes me at what he put into those three years. Influenced almost every sixties British Invasion act and had an enormous influence on The Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Stones. This album should be a part of any serious music fan s collection
The PROMOTIONAL, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES such as the one we have here were often distributed among the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the first among equals , which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

CONDITION:
RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The records come in their original stock inner sleeves.
c The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
d Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its FAKE electronically rechannelled stereo counterpart. We estimate that FAKE stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 10:1.
e Yellow Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 100:1.
f The album includes original 1-page insert.
g True Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.
h Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
COVER
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD .
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has a small, rectangular, ink residue small blueish discoloration from the removed price sticker
- Cover has two corners slightly dinged nothing significant
