Underground Impresarios IMP1 UK ORIGINAL 1968, yet another ground breaker prefiguring the UK punk DIY scene by a good 9 years. Forgive me, I've been a Deviants fan since age 14, the UK never had a better band for attitude.
This is from the VERY FIRST pressing/edition, folded at the international times office below Miles bookshop. The discs have no 'stamper' just the same matrix on all Underground Impresarios copies, most of the sleeves however are from the bulk run printed as the disc started to sell. The first copies were printed with the inner poster in BROWN, the vast majority (including the repress copies) have the BLUE inner poster. I did ask Mick for more information about this in 1984, but he could not recall why the colour was changed.
DISC IS EX I have played this record a few times, it plays great only very light wear from bag removal & odd fingerprint.
anecdote I bought it from a dealer in 1976 who got it 'from one of the band' the label side 1 has the initial RH on.
SLEEVE IS Ex one light corner crease and a little yellowing inside along the folds, see pics
Rare, my price reflects: condition, condition, condition!
