JOHN MARTYN

"London Conversation"

(island ILP 952)

Super rare mono U.K. first pressing of this 1967 psych/folk LP on the original pink Island label. I believe this was only released in mono and is considered one of the first non-reggae pink Island releases. The LP is in fantastic condition. The only thing keeping it from a perfect Near Mint are some odd pressing marks seen at spots when held at an angle. Not sure if these were caused by the pressing process itself or perhaps transferred from the sleeve. But in any case, it is only visual, as I tested those areas and found that they caused no foreign noise. In fact, it plays very quietly when spot checked. The labels are clean and spindle mark free. The cover is also very nice with solid lamination, no writing and very little wear. Just a small distribution stamp at the lower back corner. I doubt if you'll find a better copy out there so fill that hole in your pink Island collection now!

LP grade: NM/VG++

Cover grade: VG++
