Description
1968 CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND THE MAGIC BAND ALBUM 'STRICTLY PERSONAL' 1ST UK PRESSING ON THE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL LBL 83172 A-1 / B-1 IN ORIGINAL 'MONO' SPECIFIC GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE RARER MONO VERSION VINYL IS IN VG CONDITION. THERE ARE NO SERIOUS DEFECTS ON SIDE 1, THE VINYL HAS A GREAT SHINE, MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE AND NO PROBLEMS IN PLAYING AT ALL. SIDE 2 HAS A STRANGE PATTERN ACROSS THE VINYL, LIKE A WATERMARK RUNNING ACROSS SIDE 2 ONLY. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT IS WITHIN THE VINYL AND AN ISSUE WITH THE PRESSING?? I HAVE PLAYED SIDE 2 THROUGH THOROUGHLY AND THERE IS NO LOSS OF SOUND COMPARED TO SIDE 1, THE SOUND IS AS CLEAN ETC AND THRE IS NO MUDDYING OF THE AUDIO WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT IS WITHIN THE VINYL. EQUALLY IF NOT WHATEVER IT WAS HASNT AFFECTED THE SOUND AT ALL. SIDE B ALSO HAS NO SCRATCHES OR SERIOUS DEFECTS AT ALL AND PLAYS THROUGH FINE.
THE BLUE LIBERTY LABELS ARE BOTH EXCELLENT, NO WRITING ETC AND SHOW VERY FEW SIGNS OF SPINDLE MARKS.
THE MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS GENUINELY EXCELLENT THERE ARE NO AREAS OF DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE SLEEVE. ALL EDGES ARE SUPERB AND THE THICK CARDBOARD HAS MEANT THE OPEN EDGES AND GATEFOLD SEAMS ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE WIDE SPINE IS STILL COMPLETELY READABLE WITH MINIMAL RUBBING ALONG ONE EDGE. THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS STILL HAVE GREAT COLOUR AND STATE MONO ON THE SLEEVE. THERE IS NO STAINING OR RING WEAR ON THE SLEEVE. THE INNER GATEFOLD IMAGE, WHICH HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST INNER GATEFOLD PICTURES YOU ARE GOING TO FIND ON ANY RECORD IS EQUALLY EXCELLENT.
TRACKS - AH FEEL LIKE ACID / SAFE AS MILK / TRUST US / SON OF MIRROR MAN - MERE MAN / ON TOMORROW / BEATLE BONES N' SMOKIN STONES / GIMME DAT HARP BOY / KANDY KORN
