ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING? ...Yes, absolutely...there is only the one pressing...of 850...all copies were sold on advance orders alone, thus OUT OF PRINT on the very day of release...there are 425 on 'salmon' or 'peach' coloured, marbled vinyl, and the other 425 are on a beautiful dark 'burnt orange marbled vinyl (see scan here for a pic of both)...comes in beautiful (no...sorry...STUNNING!) gatefold cover...you'll almost want to have this just to GAZE at it, let alone swoon to the swirling delights on the vinyl itself...
THIS IS A SALMON/PEACH-COLOURED COPY!
LP CONDITION: (MINT cover, MINT vinyl...brand new!)... (pictures were taken of my own unsealed copy to show you just how freakin' magnificent the whole package is...but this copy for sale here has NOT been taken out of its cover).===========================================================
So...what is this?
Only one of thee greatest psychedelic labours of love you may ever encounter.
This is the Pretty Things' magnum opus, "S.F. Sorrow", completely reworked (read: covered) by a plethora of current swirly, psych-y, paisley-clad moptops...and acid-folk lovelies dressed in cheesecloth and crushed velvet, adorned with beads, crystals and Indian symbolism....and a whiff of patchouli...with maximum reverence and an ear harking back to our beloved 1967-72 era of untainted folk/prog/psych heaven. And no! - melody and song structure have not suffered, so you'll still 'know' the tunes, but like this? Nup, not like this. You'll go on a journey here that will seem familiar, but on the way, like Alice, you may encounter a Mad Hatter, a bong-smoking caterpillar, or a trapdoor leading to the inner circles of your mind...if you get what I'm saying here. A listen to a couple of the tracks below will give you an idea.
The album is magnificent, by the way. And it is NOT on CD. Only on vinyl.
