LP-Rainbow Thyme Wynders rubble 18 UK 60's psych freakbeat comp....  MEGA RARE! paprlp018 past and present, see pics, vg++ to ex shape cover, nm lp vinyl!
The 18th volume of the Rubble series wasn't quite released, though it does exist in two forms. Twenty-five test pressings with proof sleeves were made of the LP in 1992, before its release was canceled, forming a rarity valued by Record Collector magazine at 250 pounds. Fortunately, the entire album, artwork and all, was issued on CD in 2003 as one volume of the ten-disc box set The Rubble Collection Volumes 11-20. Other than its rarity, there's not much to differentiate Rubble 18: Rainbow Thyme Wynders from other late volumes of the Rubble series of (mostly) U.K. psychedelic pop rarities from the late 1960s, which came out when most of the choicest items in this genre had already been reissued. No doubt its strongest cut is the leadoff track, Acid Gallery's "Dance 'Round the Maypole," the best and most uncanny Move sound-alike ever recorded -- which makes more sense when you learn that Roy Wood actually wrote and produced the single, as well as singing on the recording. Though actually from Australia, Russell Morris' "The Real Thing (Parts 1 & 2)" rates as a highlight of bloated psychedelia-influenced, late-'60s pop, with its out-of-control phasing, tempo accelerations, and explosions. There's not too much else here to get that excited about, though some of these artists are definite contenders in the most awkward psychedelic band name contest, like the Fruit Machine, Infantes Jubilate, and above all, Pregnant Insomnia.

Vinyl grading is usually based on the Goldmine standard and is as follows:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

“M” Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.

“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.

EX+ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

EX - a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.

VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few skuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise,still plays great.

Good - In the record world, "Good" is not good! From here on down, we're talking about beat-up records!
