JOHN MAYALL'S blues breakers CRUSADE MONO 
ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS , WITH EX/EX- BRITISH BLUES AUDIO, AND ALSO PRESSED OFF THE 1ST MOTHER !!!!
THIS IS JOHN MAYALL AND HIS BLUESBREAKERS, AND HIS BLUESBREAKERS BAND HAD MANY OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN BRITISH BLUES, BEFORE THEY FORMED BANDS OF THEIR OWN, LIKE ERIC CLAPTON, JACK BRUCE, PETER GREEN, AND AYNSLEY DUNBAR TO NAME A FEW. THIS IS HIS 3rd ALBUM, WITH THE BLUES BREAKERS, RELEASED ON 1ST SEPTEMBER 1967, AND FEATURES A YOUNG UNKNOWN MICK TAYLOR ON GUITAR, WHO WENT ON TO PLAY WITH THE ROLLING STONES FROM 1969 TO 1974, ALSO A CERTAIN JOHN McVIE ON BASS GUITAR, WHO LATER IN 1967 WENT ON TO PLAY WITH FLEETWOOD MAC, AND ALSO KEEF HARTLEY ON DRUMS WHO WENT ON TO FORM, THE KEEF HARTLEY BAND, SO NOT A BAD COMBINATION FOR THIS EPIC BLUES ALBUM. IF YOU LIKE YOUR BRITISH BLUES THEN THIS IS A MUST HAVE ALBUM, AND COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION.

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 UK 1ST MONO PRESS  ::  ARL-7995-1A  'KT'  ::  ARL-7996-1A  'KT'  .
AMAZING EARLY 1ST PRESS, AND PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER  ::  1  G  ::  1  G  .

ON THE 1ST PRESS RED UNBOXED DECCA LABEL :: LK.4890 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT LAMINATED, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY Mac NEILL PRESS, LONDON, S.E.1, AND IN LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, SUPERB SPINE AND EDGES, AND EVEN THE LAMINATE, WITH NO ISSUES SO NO RUB !!!! THERE ARE JUST LITERALLY A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, AND THERE ARE JUST SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND AS YOU CAN SEE, NOTHING SERIOUS, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE SOLID  :: EX- . 

VINYL :: VINYL PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, SO NO SKIPS STICKS, OR JUMPS, AND REALLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND NO CRACKLE OR STATIC ON THE AUDIO, AS I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, IN A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION.

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 2 :: A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

A FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS .

SO AS YOU CAN SEE NOTHING NASTY OR INTRUSIVE, AND STILL GREAT TO LISTEN TO, AS THERE IS NO STATIC OR CRACKLE ON THE AUDIO, AND IT PLAYS AS DESCRIBED, SO IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL BE WELL PLEASED WHEN YOU PLAY IT !!!!

NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE QUITE A FEW COSMETICS, LIKE SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME VARIOUS SIZED HAIRLINES, NOTHING REALLY LONG. THERE IS A TINY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, AND ALSO ANOTHER ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 5 ALSO ON SIDE 2, WHICH CAUSE A COUPLE OF LIGHT TICKS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. TO BE HONEST THE COSMETICS ARE JUST A VISUAL THING UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AS IT PLAYS AS YOU HAVE READ WITH NOTHING SERIOUS ON THE AUDIO. SO FOR AN AUDIO GRADE, AND I WILL KEEP THE GRADE ON THE SAFE SIDE AND GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX- .  COULD HAVE GONE EX/EX-, BUT I WILL KEEP THE GRADE A BIT LOWER !!!!

LABELS   :: LOVELY AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF LIGHT CREASING IN BOTTOM CORNERS, AND SOME VERY LIGHT AGEING  :: VG+ . 

SO ANOTHER EPIC JOHN MAYALL BLUES ALBUM. IT PLAYS WITH NOTHING AT ALL INTRUSIVE, JUST THOSE FAINT AND LIGHT TICKS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SO STILL A GREAT LISTEN !!!! THERE ARE ALSO THOSE COSMETICS WHICH JUST HAVE A VISUAL AFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT !!!! 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 !
