THE TRAFFIC JAM

ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE THERE

INSANELY RARE UK PICCADILLY STOCK COPY IN NEAR MINT CONDITION

ANOTHER LEGENDARY HOLY GRAIL FOR QUO COLLECTORS

THE ONE AND ONLY RELEASE FROM ‘THE TRAFFIC JAM’

By 1967, The Spectres had discovered psychedelia and named themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to "Traffic Jam" to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood’s Traffic, following an argument over who had registered the name first. The band secured an appearance on BBC Radio's Staurday Club, but in June their next single, "Almost But Not Quite There", under-performed mainly as a result of the BBC banning the song from radio due to the lyrical content being about a woman's sexual fulfilment. The following month saw Rick Parfitt, at the request of manager Pat Barlow, joining the band as rhythm guitarist and vocalist. Shortly after Parfitt's recruitment, in August 1967, the band officially became Status Quo.

THE VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.  

IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND A COPY OF THIS RECORD IN ANY CONDITION DUE TO ITS RARITY.

I USUALLY UPLOAD A YOUTUBE LINK FOR THE RECORD I AM LISTING BUT AS I KNOW THIS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION I HAVEN’T DONE SO THIS TIME.

THE ONE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE RECORD WAS THE BBC AND BOTH PUSH OUT CENTRES ARE STAMPED ‘BBC GRAMOPHONE LIBRARY’.

THE RECORD HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER PLAYED IT.

A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF THIS INSANELY RARE RECORD.

_________

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT: The record itself appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
