TRAFFIC

PLAYS WITH EX+/NEAR MINT AUDIO !!!!
UK 1ST PRESS SELF TITLED, PSYCH BLUES ROCK MONSTER !!!!

AT LAST WE HAVE SOME TRAFFIC, WHO WERE FORMED IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND IN 1967, AND THIS THEIR BRILLIANT 2nd ALBUM, RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER 1968, AND WHAT AN AMAZING LINE UP, WITH, STEVE WINWOOD, JIM CAPALDI, CHRIS WOOD, AND DAVE MASON !!!! THIS AGAIN ANOTHER VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

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 !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  ILPS 9081 T A//2  ::  ILPS 9081 T  B V 5 .
ON THE UK IST PRESS PINK ISLAND TEXTURED LABEL, WITH ORANGE AND BLACK BULLSEYE LOGO  :: ILPS 9081 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1st PRESS GATEFOLD, WITH INTERNAL FLIPBACKS, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY GARRD AND LOFTHOUSE Ltd, STILL WITH ORIGINAL BOOKLET STILL ATTACHED INSIDE THE GATEFOLD !!!! SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE SPINE EDGE, AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT RUB ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM ON THE FRONT AS AGAIN SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD WITH BOOKLET, NOTHING TO REPORT, SO IN GREAT CONDITION. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- . VINYL  :: THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFUL WITH LOVELY AUDIO, SO NO SKIPS, JUMPS, STICKS, CRACKLE, STATIC, POPS, OR CLICKS !!!! ALL I HEARD WAS ..... ON SIDE 1 :: JUST BEAUTIFUL AUDIO . ON SIDE 2 :: AGAIN JUST BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, WITH JUST FOUR VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 4, AND HONESTLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE AT ALL .
VISUALLY, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE QUITE A FEW HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL HARMLESS COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A COSMETIC THIN SCUFF LINE AT THE END OF TRACK 2, AND AT THE START OF TRACK 3, ON SIDE 2, WHICH IS A BIT MORE NOTICEABLE, BUT IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE BRILLIANT AUDIO, AND SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!!! SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT . BUT I WOULD SAY NEARER TO EX+, RATHER THAN TO NEAR MINT !!!!
LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, WITH JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .


ORIGINAL INNER :: WITH NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS, JUST SOME AGEING, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: VG .
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, AN AMAZING ALBUM FROM ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE. DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 
IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
