Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

MINT = TOP COPY = FINAL COLLECTION COPY
AMAZING 49 year old master-craft popsike gem, the more you play it the more it grows!
RARE and sought after ... Original 1967 first pressing and the very first of three collectible albums by UK Nirvana and this very charming album is one of the first concept/story albums around, predating the greats like THE WHO's "Tommy" by two years. The songs themselves are nice psychedelic pop and the comparison to BEATLES of Sgt.Pepper era isn't far behind. Not really progressive but nice record recommended to fans of UK 60's pop-psych.
N I R V A N A was formed in 1967 by Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulos who hail from Ireland and Greece respectively. Originally a six-piece, NIRVANA was eventually pared down to the two principal members along with assists from various session musicians. The Story of Simon Simopath was their first LP. The aforementioned concept of the album has to do with Simon Simopath wanting to fly and so he tries to get various things to give him their wings (angels, airplanes, etc.) and he ends up in outer space. Oh yeah, also love. The point is this album is pretty great from start to finish. Catchy tunes, solid melodies, lush instrumentation, and quasi-baroque arrangements more than make up for the occasionally quaint lyrical content and carefully constructed pop-psych gems similar in style of The Beatles. I must admit that I enjoyed listening this record quite much. Psychedlic elements are present only in quite subbtle amounts, mostly in surrealistic lyrics and small artistic arrangements and audio effects. Also Campbell-Lyons Irish accent brings a sincere personal flavor to the music.- Patrick Campbell-Lyons / guitar, vocals
