Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Traffic called "Mr Fantasy" and is an ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Pink 'Circle' logo Island label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS TRAFFIC'S FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE ISLAND LABEL AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND WITHOUT A MINOR COVER DETAIL (MENTIONED BELOW) THIS WOULD BE A BRILLIANT EXAMPLE - AS THE RECORD IS VERY NICE INDEED!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS PINK ISLAND 'CIRCLE' LOGO LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD FLIPBACK MONO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Island UK 1st Pressing from 1967 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is ILP 961 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Pink Island label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 1 VERY small NON sounding surface trace, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The 1st Press Gatefold Flipback MONO Cover is in GREAT condition overall!!!! It has NO edgewear, NO spinal wear (apart from a VERY few virtually INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces), only VERY slight corner wear to the opening corners (NOT through the colour), some wear to the spinal corners (virtually unavoidable on this cover!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in GREAT condition overall with NO rubbing, NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!! However, as I mentioned above - the one defect on this cover is that there is some yellowed 'residue traces' around the edges of the INSIDE of the cover ONLY (see pictures). To many people this may only be a VERY minor detail - and if you can look past this, that you have a VERY presentable cover indeed!!!! So for this reason I will ONLY grade the cover Good++++ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better, though it is certainly still a VERY presentable example!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
