Contrasts Blonde on Blonde
VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS FULLY COMPLETE WITH POLYLINED INNER, AND WITH EX/EX+ AUDIO !!!!

NOW WHEN IT COMES TO RARE ALBUMS THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THEM, ESPECIALLY AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS !!!! THIS IS 'BLONDE ON BLONDE' WHO WERE A PSYCHEDELIC, PROG ROCK BAND FORMED IN NEWPORT IN WALES IN 1967, AND THEY CALLED THEIR BAND AFTER BOB DYLANS 1966 ALBUM, "BLONDE ON BLONDE". THIS ALBUM RARELY TURNS UP, BUT WITH BRILLINT AUDIO, ORGINAL COVER AND INNER, YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT A VERY LONG TIME, IF EVER FOR A BETTER ONE. CERTAINLY ONE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE ALBUM NOT TO MISS, AND IT COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION

THIS IS A VERY RARE ORIGINAL  1969  UK 1ST  PRESS :: NSPL 18288 A1-^H  STEREO  'KT'  ::  NSPL 18288 B1-^H  STEREO  'KT'  .
MOTHERS AND STAMPERS :: 1  A  ::  1  B .
ON THE 1ST PRESS BLACK AND BLUE PYE LABEL :: NSLP 18288 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, WITH INTERNAL FLIPBACKS, AND INTERNAL OPENING EDGE. THE LAMINATED SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID WITH NO RUB. NOW THERE IS CLEAR CELLO TAPE ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE SPINE, NOT SURE WHY, AS THE SPINE IS IN A NICE CONDITION AND STILL READABLE, JUST WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY SMALL SPLIT AT THE TOP CORNER, AND A SMALL REPAIR JOB, BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING SERIOUS, THE CELLO TAPE WAS PROBABLY PUT THERE FOR PROTECTION AS IT IS MADE FROM LIGHT WEIGHT CARD ( PLEASE SEE PHOTOS, THANK YOU ). JUST SOME VARIOUS SIZED LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND ONLY DUE TO THE TAPE I WOULD GRADE THIS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS   :: VG+/EX- . 

VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS LOVELY WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO WORRY ABOUT. AS IT IS SUCH A RARE ORIGINAL, I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION, WHICH I THINK IS THE BEST AND FAIREST WAY >>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 6 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START AND A FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END .

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AT THE VERY START .

TRACK 2 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AFTER THE START .

TRACK 3 :: HAS A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 5 :: HAS A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE AND ANOTHER TOWARDS THE END .

TWO LIGHT POPS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 6 :: TWO FAINT POPS AND A FAINT TICK AT THE START .

SO AS YOU CAN SEE VERY NICE AUDIO WITH NO STATIC, OR CRACKLE, AND REALLY IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2, OF ANY NOTE. NOW VISUALLY WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT IT LOOKS VERY NICE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME COSMETIC HAIRLINES AND ALSO A TINY NON FEELABLE MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 6 ON SIDE 2, WHERE THOSE TWO LIGHT POPS BETWEEN TRACKS, AND TWO FAINT POPS AND A FAINT TICK CAN BE HEARD. SO BASICALLY THERE ARE COSMETICS WHICH HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL AFFECT. NOW FOR THE AUDIO GRADE, AND I THINK A VERY FAIR AND HONEST GRADE FOR THE AUDIO WOULD BE :: EX .   AS IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE START OF TRACK 6 AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE GRADE WOULD HAVE BEEN EX/EX+, AND NEARER TO EX+ !!!!

LABELS ::  AGAIN IN LOVELY CONDITION, JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS, BUT HAS '18288' WRITTEN TINY IN ONE TOP CORNER  :: VG+/EX- .  

IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND READ, THEN YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED WHEN IT ARRIVES. VERY HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, AND CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO FORGET !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU ! 

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
