TITLE :       VARIOUS ARTIST / SAMANTHA PROMOTIONS volume one LP
LABEL / CAT # :   TRANSWORLD  /  SPLIP 101
COUNTRY / YEAR OF RELEASE :     UK  /  1970
DESCRIPTION :    Surely this must be one of the rarest and most sought-after PRIVATE PRESS PSYCH albums anywhere in the world!?
 There are alleged to have been (at most) only 50 of these pressed (with zero distribution, promo-only, made simply to promote the underground bands included) and I would guess that after 40 years there are only a few handful left in existence...the ones that have been sold in recent years (which are few and far between) command healthy prices and I've seen dealers online ask well into four figures for this album!!
The reason? An astounding collection of 11 UNSIGNED bands producing music that would have most signed bands of the time wetting their pants!
 It truly is great music throughout...a varied snapshot of 1970 folkrock, psych, early prog and heavy rock (which I think remain largely uncomped nor reissued? I don't even think any of the bands went on to do much of note?)
Have a listen to the three amazing psych track snippets  (taken from the actual record for sale..... tracks are in order: The OX, Site Fade, Honeysuckle)
This album is Extremely Rare and virtually impossible to find (this is the only one I have ever seen!)
  Due to the nature of the original sound recording quality it sounds a little lo-fi in places and the actual volume varies from track to track (as expected).
Very rare chance to get an original vinyl pressing of this sought-after psych monster! ...Original UK 'PROMO-ONLY' PRIVATE PRESSING
TRACKLISTING :      *Note* (only the band names are listed on the label)
side A:     VYBES  /  JUGANAUT   /   CLOUDBURST  /   ODD FOX   /  HONEYSUCKLE
side B:     ARANDORA'S LIFE  /   SITE FADE  /  THE OX  /  FLESH  /  DAMASCUS  /  THE NEW DELIGHT
CONDITION :    *PLEASE READ CAREFULLY*     Vinyl:  Visually it's a G- as It is unfortunately not in the best shape and has quite a few obvious scuffs, scratches, surface marks & hairlines that cause crackle and pop throughout, but, it shouldn't skip (unless played on a turntable with a heavy arm... It plays through completely fine on my Technics deck, but caution is necessary as it does have a fair few marks).
For play grade please listen to soundclip taken from the record for sale.... A professional clean may help bring the sound quality up a notch?
  *PLEASE READ* No Sleeve:  I don't think there was any band pictures or much extra info printed on the sleeve anyway. Sorry, that's just how I found it....stuffed inside an incorrect sleeve and probably forgotten about for many years!
