Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!
I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90% of the LP's I've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, I've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, I'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!
I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered",weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).
I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!
I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!
Title : The Can - Monster Movie

Label & year : Original United Artists UAS 29094 LP , Stereo 1969 IMPOSSIBLY RARE day of release red burgundy UK 1st Press!!!

Matrix's : Side A : UAS 29094 A-1 (1  A) , Side B : UAS 29094 B-1 (1  G)

NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A RARITY!!! SOLD NO MORE THAN 3-TO-400 COPIES ON THE RIDICULOUSLY RARE BURGUNDY LABEL!!! MANY DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS EXISTS!!!

THIS CAME OUT JUST AS THE BURGUNDY DESIGN WAS TO BE CHANGED TO THE MORE KNOWN CREAM & BROWN ONE, AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE CAN HAD VIRTUALLY A ZERO FOLLOWING IN THE UK (OR EVEN MANY IN GERMANY FOR THAT MATTER) BACK WHEN THEY WERE FIRST STARTING OFF IN 68/69, SO IT WAS ONLY PRESSED IN ABSOLUTE MINISCULE AMOUNTS BEFORE BEING REISSUED WITHIN THE SAME YEAR ON THE COMMON CREAM LABEL WHEN KRAUTROCK STARTED TO TAKE OFF!!!

SOLD LITERALLY NEXT TO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, AND THIS IS EASILY THE GREATEST EXAMPLE I'VE EVER SEEN!!! ABSOLIUTELY AWESOME CONDITION WITH PHENOMENAL SOUND - IMPOSSIBLY HARD TO FIND AS A TRUE DAY-OF-RELEASE UK 1ST PRESS, LET ALONE ONE IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT CONDITION!!! DO NOT MISS OUT ON ONE OF THE VERY GREATEST LP'S YOU'LL EVER HEAR!!!

Their INCREDIBLE debut and possibly THE finest "Krautrock" LP ever made!!! Contains moments of pure genius!!! If you've never, then you've GOT to hear this awesome experimental funk/psych/prog/groove rock music!!! My favourite Can record, and the only one they did with Malcolm Mooney before he was replaced with Damo Suzuki (though 1968 sessions with him were officially released in the 80's called Delay 1968 - also brilliant). They had to replace him after he went mad (one pint of acid too many I should think!) - in his last gig he stood completely motionless in front of his mike stand without saying a word for the whole thing! Pretty sure he's ok now 40+ years on, but WHAT a legacy he helped leave with this!

AWESOME truly experimental riff-ridden psychedelic prog music!!! Believe me, these aren’t poor pop songs masquerading as psych simply because someone tagged a harpsichord on it, no no! THIS is hard art at the very pinnacle of the heaviest, most inspired magic you can imagine!!! You can actually hear his fragile mental state at the time in his freak out on the PHENOMENAL Yoo Doo Right - easily the greatest 20 minute song there ever was! It never gets boring!! An essential LP, one of the very best ever!!! REAL MUSIC!!!

Do NOT miss out on this UNBELIEVABLY RARE opportunity to own this IMPOSSIBLY hard to find Krautrock masterpiece - bid now!!!

Tracklist : Father Cannot Yell, Mary Mary So Contrary, Outside My Door, and Yoo Doo Right.

About : Ultra Rare Original 1969 UK 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!

The LP :

Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press red burgundy UA labels!!! Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn't had much play over the years at all!!! AWESOME for a 45 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good+++!!!

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1969 UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks AWESOME with NO nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever!!! The only blemishes are just a few totally non-sounding mild cosmetic paper scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines (only visible in strong angled light) and only a few ULTRA light non sounding incredibly feint hairlines mostly from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL!!! MAGNIFICENT for a record of this age and rarity!!! You'll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity!!! It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, skips OR sticks!!! Only like pretty much ALL records has the very RAREST quiet isolated tick here and there, and possibly just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks, but that's truly about it!!! The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does play with a CD-like near 100% black silence, but with that bass, depth, clarity and warmth you can only get from original UK 1st Press vinyl!!! EVEN the vast majority of the quiet sections!!! Absolutely ESSENTIAL!!! ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audibly at least as Excellent++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Sleeve :

Original UK 1st press front laminated “MacNeill" sleeve complete with original inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn, worn, and stained due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT bad at all, and looks GREAT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO stains, NO writing, NO graffiti, NO splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has some minor ageing such as a few light creases and a touch of a record imprint, some sticker remains to the top right of the front and some general ink rubbing to the otherwise clean unlaminated back, a touch of denting to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to bring it down by listing every negative I can possibly find, but this remains a GREAT sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as presentable and as strong as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains strong, solid, unsplit, and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good minus!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A truly AWESOME example of this INCREDIBLY RARE original 1969 CLASSIC DEBUT Stereo UK 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks again for looking, it's truly appreciated!! Cheers!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
