OFFERED, AN ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS WITHDRAWN COPY OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD - SELF TITLED 1ST LP ATCO 33-200 MONO - 1966
ABSOLUTE 1ST PRESSING
THIS IS THE RARE WITHDRAWN FIRST MONO PRESSING WITH THE SONG "BABY DON'T SCOLD ME" INSTEAD OF THE HIT "FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" THIS PRESSING WITH THE ORIGINAL TITLE IS MUCH RARER HAVING BEEN OUTSOLD BY THE LATER VERSION MANY TIMES OVER
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1st release  LABEL! WITH THE MATRIX 33-200 FOUND ON THE ORIGINAL COPIES NOT WITH THE 33-200 A USED LATER TO DENOTE THE NEW VERSION
WHY MONO INSTEAD OF THE MORE COMMON STEREO? ACCORDING TO THE JOHN EINERSON & RICHIE FURAY'S SPRINGFIELD BOOK, THE STEREO MIX WAS ACTUALLY RECORDED FIRST BY THE GROUP'S MANAGERS AND THE BAND HATED IT AS THE MIX WAS TERRIBLE!! AND WANTED TO RE-RECORD THE WHOLE LP, ATCO WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF COST SO NEIL YOUNG AND STEVEN STILLS REMIXED IT IN MONO AS THEY WANTED!  ANOTHER NOTE: A  from the Buffalo springfield: "dawn of stereo"  mixed this first album and turned it in. We mixed it mono, as that was all we knew at the time. Later we found out that our managers had done a rush "stereo mix" at Atco's request. When the stereo came out, it was the first time we had ever heard of it. We were very surprised.  We poured our hearts into the mono mixes and never had a chance at the stereo. The stereo is by far the most common version available.
THIS IS A NICE SOUNDING COPY, THE VINYL HAS HAIR LINES AND NO DEEP SCRATCHES. UPON PLAYING LOUD THERE IS ONLY NORMAL SMALL SURFACE NOISE BUT NOTHING  MAJOR TO DISTRACT FROM THE DYNAMIC SOUND FROM A DEEP GROOVE VIRGIN VINYL PRESSING. NO REALLY ANNOYING SURFACE NOISE JUST SMALL NOTICEABLE CLICKS BETWEEN TRACKS AND IN SOME PLACES BUT THIS LP PLAYS VERY WELL! - 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 COPY - NOT THE RE-RELEASE - THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DEEP GROOVE VIRGIN VINYL VERSION

THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE IS IN VG++ CONDITION WITH LITTLE AGE WEAR -  2" BOTTOM SPLIT NO LABELS NO WRITING - SHOWS TINY RING WEAR ON SEMI GLOSS FRONT - TINY BUMPING TO CORNERS NO OTHER RIPS OR TEARS ON HEAVY US CARDBOARD - HAS A BLACK INKING ON BOTTOM OF FRONT AND HAS A PUNCH HOLE BOTTOM LEFT  (SEE PHOTO)    THE SPINE IS LOVELY WITH ONLY VERY NORMAL  MINOR EDGE AND CORNER BUMPING
COMES WITH ORIGINAL ATCO INNER SLEEVE AND HOUSED IN DISKEEPER INNER

LABELS ARE BRIGHT WITH NO DAMAGE NO WRITING OR LABELS AND USUAL SPINDLE WEAR

FINALLY ONE LAST WORD RE HAIRLINES, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANY NON SEALED RECORD WITHOUT THEM, MANY HAD THEM FROM NEW. MOSTLY THEY ARE A RESULT OF STORAGE AND USE AND USUALLY HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON THE SOUND QUALITY. THE SAME GOES FOR BACKGROUND NOISE, UNFORTUNATELY ALL RECORDS WILL HAVE SOME AND THIS VARIES AND REFLECTS THE PRESSING QUALITY. 

 RECOMMENDED!

FULLY GUARANTEED!

How I Grade Condition Of Discs

Mint

This means I have owned it from new or purchased from a distributors warehouse, basically it means absolutely new shape, never been played or out of its dust cover. In the case of LP's, a North American album will have to be factory sealed (anyone can reseal an album!) Take Note: European and Japaneses albums were never shrink wrapped!

Note: Being mint does not guarantee it's free of pops and clicks, many pressings especially from the US were made with very poor vinyl and in a hurry which means often there are imperfections in the pressing. As a former importer, we were often given back brand new albums due to clicks heard in the playback.

Mint Minus - No such thing, it's either mint or not.

Excellent - A disc is super clean, with no visible marks

 Excellent Plus, means it's probably mint but can't be proven by me.

Excellent minus, is a disc that is excellent except it may have some markings that do not show up in the playing

VG - A disc that is STILL in good shape, WILL have some scuffs or scratches, not in excellent shape but well worth owning. VG + and ++,a disc that is that much better than VG.

VG minus, just a smidgen below VG
