Description
Original UK Island pink i label mono re-press LP.
Art were formed out of the ashes of the VIP's a northern R&B band, who included Keith Emerson in their line-up. When Emerson left to join the Nice in 1967 the rest of the band discovered psychadelia and re-invented themselves as ART. They also collaborated with the artists collective 'Hapshash And The Coloured Coat', who designed their first and only album cover released in November 1967. They were also the backing musicians on Hapshash's album 'Featuring The Human Host & The Heavy Metal Kids'. They split again just before its release and then formed Spooky Tooth!
The glossy sleeve is intact & in EX+ condition, with only light corner/edge wear and some very light rubbing on the front cover. The spine is intact and fully readable, the plain inner is intact & in EX condition.
The record is in visually EX condition, with only one or two faint sleeve removal hairlines and a couple of light needle scuffs visible under bright light on each side, but there is some hazing that does not affect play. The labels are in EX+ condition, clean & bright with evidence of only one or two very faint spindle markings on each side.
The sound reproduction is EX+, still clear & precise throughout, with definately no skips, sticks or jumps, but there is some very brief background noise during the run in grooves, overall a really clean, loud & clear listen!
The matrix nos. are; ILP-967, A- stamper ?, B- stamper ?. This is one of the early copies of the 2015 180gm re-pressing of the original 1967 UK mono issue of this album!
