THE MOODY BLUES 
THE MAGNIFICENT MOODIES
THEIR VERY FIRST RELEASE ON THE RED MONO DECCA LABEL !!!!
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER, AND ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL !!!!

THIS IS 'THE MOODY BLUES', WHO WERE FORMED IN BIRMINGHAM IN 1964, AND THIS IS THEIR FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM, ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON 23rd JULY 1965 ! NOW THIS IS A BIT DIFFERENT TO THE  NORMAL MOODY BLUES WE ARE USED TO, AS THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY ALBUM TO FEATURE THEIR RHYTHM AND BLUES LINE UP, FEATURING, DENNY LANE, CLINT WARWICK, MIKE PINDER, RAY THOMAS, AND GRAEME EDGE. SO THE TRACKS ARE A MIXTURE OF RHYTHM AND BLUES, AND BEAT MUSIC, SO A GREAT ALBUM, AND ANOTHER GEM FROM MY TREASURED  

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!  
ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1965 ON THE RED UNBOXED MONO LABEL,  THE ONE LISTED IS A SLIGHTLY LATER 1970 REPRESS, STILL ON THE RED DECCA LABEL, BUT NOW THE DECCA IS BOXED ON THE LABELS !!!!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK REPRESS ::  XARL-6869-2A  ::  XARL-6870-2A .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER :: 1 UC :: 1 UB .


ON THE RED BOXED DECCA LABEL ::  LK 4711 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE. LOVELY LAMINATE, JUST A BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE. THE BACK IS NICE AND CLEAN, JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: EX- .
VINYL ::  PLAYS SUPERB, WITH NO STICKS, JUMPS, SKIPS, STATIC, CRACKLE, TICKS, POPS OR CLICKS, AND ALL I HEARD WAS JUST AMAZING MONO CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO, FROM START TO FINISH !!!!  VISUALLY, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL LOOKS LOVELY, JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES !!!! SO FOR THE AUDIO GRADE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::   NEAR MINT .
LABELS ::  AGAIN SUPERB  :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

POLYLINED INNER :: WITH NO  SEAM SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF WRITING IN ONE TOP CORNER, 'LK 4711 2.5'. IT IS WRITTEN IN PENCIL SO WILL COME OFF, BUT I DO NOT HAVE A RUBBER TO REMOVE IT, SORRY. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG+/EX- .
ANOTHER CLASSIC UK PRESS, AND THE MOODIES, PLAYING R & B, AND BEAT. REALLY IS A GREAT ALBUM, AND THEIR VERY FIRST RELEASE, AND PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THIS IS A SLIGHTLY LATER 1970 REPRESS, THANK YOU !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, PLEASE TAKE GREAT CARE AND BE SUPER SAFE, ROSE.
