#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Background & Condition :-
This remarkable first pressing in in astonishing condition and has obviously been kept in a clean smoke free environment for the last thirty years & very carefully looked after. The album was released on August 5, 1967 and one month later it was released in stereo. The album's title comes from the title of the seventh chapter of Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows' !
The mono mixes of each track were done at seperate sessions, as it was the main format. The whole stereo album mix was a one day thing, so this really is the definitive mix of this classic album with significant differences to the stereo mix.
Subtle changes in effect abound, moment to moment gradations that can alter the flow of an entire track. For example, Syd Barrett's whoops and shouts on 'Take up thy Stethoscope and Walk' are simply dripping with delay and the environment constantly morphs, unlike the stereo version which is 'fixed'. The coda of 'Flaming' is shorter than on the stereo version, as is 'The Gnome'. There's a whole layer of organ missing on the stereo mix at the start of 'Interstellar Overdrive' with a bongo fadeout and seriously different parts in 'Pow R Toch H'. As the engineer said many years later 'The omission of things in the stereo mixes was really just because of the time - or lack of it - spent over these' - Mono was the de-facto standard & the stereo, like 'Sgt Pepper', was pretty much cobbled together as an afterthought.
The Disc :-
The overall condition is fantastic. There are some hairline marks visible on very close inspection that are completely inaudible & probably caused by being removed & replaced in the original EMI paper advert inner.The labels are clean & bright with the KT tax code clearly visible & just a few light spindle marks around the centre hole as evidence of play.
The matrix numbers are :
XAX 3419-2 On Side One
XAX 3420-1 On Side Two
The Sleeve :-
Still with the original unsplit EMI advert paper inner, the sleeve is fantastic with negligible scuffing to the edges [to the point of being almost non-existant!], bright clear laminate withno sign of shelfwear & secure undamaged flipbacks.
The sleeve back is clean, unscuffed & unstained with 'File Under Popular: Pop Groups' text. The Ernest J. Day & Co. sleeve is dated 6709, just creeping into the period of the first release of the stereo version.
This truly is a staggering copy, by far the best we've ever seen & one which you'd be unlikely EVER to find better. An investment grade item !!
