ARTIST: YARDBIRDS

TITLE: FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS

LABEL: COLUMBIA SX 1677

This is a UK MONO copy of Five Live Yardbirds with fantastic vinyl that looks to have been played very little - it has only a very few extremely light 'paper-type' whispey marks caused by removal from sleeve (no deeper marks or scuffs at all) and it PLAYS like NEW. I would grade this the highest EX++. The laminated flipback cover is again fantastic and grades EX+ at least with extremaly clean unlaminated rear.(see photos) The advertising inner is EX (a small side split where the LP has cut it is all. So overall you will go along way to better this copy of the great Yardbirds LP.

The LP has matrix numbers XAX 2725-1 N and  XAX 2726-1N which you will know denotes the first pressing of this LP. The stampers are 1,RD and 1,GP - again denoting an early pressing. However there is the issue because this is on the black Columbia label.  Contrary to the UK RC Guide there are three different issues all of which were pressed using the same 'first press' matrixes. They were 33SX1677 on the black/blue label - the first, then SX1677 again on the black/blue label and then this one SX1677 on the black box label. I have copies of all three in my collection and can vouch that this information is correct.
