THE ZOMBIES
Odessey AND Oracle
MONO

THIS IS REALLY AN ORIGINAL UK 1968 1ST PRESS MONO AND TO SAY RARE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT !!!!
A1 B1, WITH ONLY 'VERULAM MUSIC' ON THE LABELS.
FRONT LAMINATED  WITH, 'CBS THE ZOMBIES  ODESSEY AND ORACLE  63280' ON THE SPINE.
SO A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESS, AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER, AS THERE IS JUST A £2.99  START PRICE         
THIS IS THE ZOMBIES AND THEIR 2nd ALBUM RELEASED IN 1968. ORIGINALLY FROM ST ALBANS IN ENGLAND, THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE RAREST ONES OUT THERE, AND IN MONO EVEN RARER. BEAUTIFUL COVER, AND NO NASTY ISSUES ON THE AUDIO, AND CBS POLYLINED INNER, AND THIS WAS A BIG DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, BUT TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY IT, AND IT IS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHIP AS USUAL. IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS MONO ::  63280  A1  ::  63280 B1 .

ON THE ORANGE CBS LABEL LABEL  ::  63280 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED  WITH, 'CBS THE ZOMBIES  ODESSEY AND ORACLE  63280' ON THE SPINE, PRINTED BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co Ltd, LONDON W.11, AND INCREDIBLE IN GREAT CONDITION, AS THESE COVERS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS. SUPERB SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST A TINY SPOT OF RUB IN THE MIDDLE, AND A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS AND NOTHING ELSE. NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING AND IN LOVELY CONDITION AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX- .  

VINYL ::  NOW THE GREAT NEW IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR JUMPS, AND ALSO NOTHING INTRUSIVE, SO A VERY ENJOYABLE VINYL TO LISTEN TO. SIDE 2 DOES PLAY BETTER THAN SIDE 1, AS I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, AND AS USUAL, BECAUSE OF THE RARETY OF THIS VINYL I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A MUCH BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE AUDIO SOUNDS LIKE, SO HERE GOES >>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS THREE VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 2 :: THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START, TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE END .

BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 3 :: TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START, AND A BIT OF FAINT STATIC IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 4 :: BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START AND A BIT MORE IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 5 :: BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START, AND SOME MORE IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 2 :: TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START AND TWO IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 3 :: TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

NOW THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND NO LOUD CLICKS, TICKS OR POPS, WHICH WOULD BE VERY ANNOYING. IT REALLY PLAYS VERY WELL, WITH SOME BITS OF FAINT STATIC AND A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND AGAIN, THIS VINYL HARD ENOUGH TO FIND, EVEN HARDER WITH NO NASTY ISSUE ON THE AUDIO. NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS OKAY, ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SMALL HAIRLINES. THERE ARE THREE VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE TINY MARKS, ONE AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 2, AND ANOTHER AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 5, ON SIDE 1, AND ANOTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, AND IF YOU LOOK BACK TO THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NOW FOR THE AUDIO GRADE, AND AS THERE IS NOTHING NASTY OR INTRUSIVE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ON THE SAFE, AND FAIREST SIDE OF THE GRADE AS  :: VG+ .  

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT POTLESS :: EX/EX- .

`

ORIGINAL CBS INNER :: NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, AND IN VERY NICE CONDITION. OFF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG+/EX- .  

YES IT IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS MONO !!!! YES IT PLAYS WITH NO SERIOUS ISSUES, AND COMES IN A LOVELY MONO ORIGINAL COVER AND CBS POLYLINED INNER !!!! THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETICS, AND THREE TINY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARKS, BUT CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO MISS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE !!!!
