Description
THE BLUE MEN-I HEAR A NEW WORLD
ACETATE LP
RIGHT,HERE GOES,
TO START OFF WITH,I WILL SAY THAT I DON`T KNOW A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THIS RECORD.
I BOUGHT IT FROM A JOE MEEK COLLECTOR ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
APPARENTLY IT WASN`T RELEASED AT THE TIME BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE TOO "WAY OUT".
I CAN CERTAINLY SEE WHAT THEY MENT.I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING PSYCHEDELIC RECORDS FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS MUST HAVE BEEN THE MOST PSYCHEDELIC RECORDING EVER MADE IN 1960.
IF THE BEATLES WOULD HAVE HAD JOE MEEK AS A PRODUCER THEY WOULD HAVE MADE SGT PEPPER IN 1963.
THE RECORD ITSELF IS AN ACETATE-A THIN DISC OF METAL COVERED IN A THICK LAQUER IN WHICH THE GROOVES ARE CUT.
I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS WAS MADE OR WHETHER IT IS ORIGINAL OR NOT.I KNOW SOME TEST PRESSINGS WERE MADE AT THE TIME,SO IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FEW ACETATES.
IT HAS TRIUMPH LABELS ON BOTH SIDES.ON SIDE 1 IT HAS "I HEAR A NEW WORLD-BLUE MEN" HAND WRITTEN IN BLUE BIRO.
AS WELL AS THE TRIUMPH LOGO THER IS ALSO PRINTED-"MADE IN GT BRITAIN-RECORDING BLANK-KEEP SURFACE CLEAN-USE LIGHTWEIGHT PICK UP." ON BOTH LABELS.
AS FAR AS THE CONDITION GOES,THE SURFACES LOOK EXCELLENT WITH NO SCRATCHES,JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT MARKS,PROBABLY PAPER SCUFFS.
WHEN PLAYED,HOWEVER,THERE IS SOME CRACKLE AND SOUND DETERIATION,THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT ACETATES WERE ONLY MADE AS DEMOS AND AS SOON AS THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIMES THEY DETERIATE IN QUALITY..
THAT SAID,IT DOES PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS,NO SKIPS,STICKS OF JUMPS.
THERE IS NO SLEEVE WITH THIS RECORD,AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY DIDN`T GET TO THE STAGE OF DESIGNING ONE.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT-PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS,ALTHOUGH I DON`T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT THIS ITEM THAN I HAVE ALREADY STATED.
POSTAGE = U.K-£3.00-EUROPE-£4.00-REST OF THE WORLD-£5.00
AS WITH ALL MY AUCTIONS THERE IS NO RESERVE AND A VERY LOW STARTING PRICE.
BEST OF LUCK AND THANKS FOR DROPPING BY.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
