ART Supernatural Fairy Tales (Rare 1967 UK first press 12-track mono LP on the rough textured pink Island 'eye' label, housed in a psychedelic front laminated picture sleeve. This is a far, far from mint example to say the least but we have professionally cleaned the record & play tested both sides. The sleeve grades GOOD with corner creasing & some writing on the back that reads 'From My Friend Nell'. There is residue along the top edge due to historic tape reinforcement, & all text is legible including along the spine. The vinyl too grades GOOD. We would advise playing the record on a MONO playback setting as intended in order to avoid surface noise left & right. The record does play with a degree of light & quiet crackle all the way through, which is really only heard between tracks. There is the odd pop & click on occasion but no jumps. Thanks to the high quality of sixties vinyl in Britain, once each track kicks in, the disc's condition is rendered mostly cosmetic & both sides of the album are hugely enjoyable, with no major distortions & very acceptable sound. And what an album it is! The huge breakbeat madness of 'African Thing' has lost none of its impact & there are a number of key psychedelic tracks ['Come On Up', what a tune!] that really knock you for six. Note: both sides of the record exhibit multiple scratches, hairlines & marks. This first issue would ultimately serve as an ideal collection filler at a VERY fair price ILP967).
