No, this is NOT the Moody Blues as you know it. Rather than sing and play pre-psychedelic ballads and progressive-novelty hits the Moodies are associated with, on this - THEIR VERY FIRST -  album you will find Moodies covering James Brown, Solomon Burke, Bert Berns, Brill Building Pop tunes and otherwise acting,  looking and sounding just like a mod band. Caution: you might think you are playing Zombies' or Them album!!! A great listening experience…Track listing: I go crazy - And my baby's gone - Go now - It's easy child - Can't nobody love you - I had a dream - Let me go - I don’t want to go on without you - True story - It ain't necessarily so - Bye Bye Bird - From the bottom of my heart.

·                                     CONDITION:

 

·                                     THE RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)           WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(c)            Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more  preferable to its FAKE ("electronically rechannelled") stereo counterpart. We estimate that FAKE stereo copies of this album outnumber monos by a ratio of at least 40:1.

 

(d)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

 

(e)            True Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

 

(f)              Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·                                     THE COVER

 

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-          Cover has a small, neat, circular cutout hole in one of the corners

 

-          Cover has a partially split top seam (less than 1 inch / 2.5 centimeters)

 

-          Visible shelf wear noted on the bottom seam.

 

-          Minor shelf wear noted on the top seam (nothing significant)

 

-          Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3  (front side) and 2 (back side)

 

-          Cover has a tiny "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

 

-          Cover has two corners slightly dinged (nothing significant)

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
