Description

JOHN MAYALL Blues From Laurel Canyon (1968 UK first issue 12-track MONO vinyl LP, the first album from Mayall after the break up of The Bluesbreakers, featuring the talents of a young Mick Taylor and the legendary Peter Green as a guest, front laminated gatefold picture sleeve LK4972)See 'More Info' … Tracklisting & Info: Much rarer than its Stereo counterpart, the Mono issue of this LP is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Condition: Unique to the first issue, this does NOT have a red 'Mono' inner or an indicator punch hole on the back of the sleeve. There is a name written neatly on the top left inside the gatefold, which is very difficult to see, but is there, so has been noted. The sleeve itself shows just a little light shelfwear with a small amount of laminate lift at the spine and a tiny bit of scuffing at the corners. All in all, very nice inded. The vinyl has retained its sheen and has obviously been played on good equipment and sparingly. Upon close inspection there are a few light surface hairlines evident but none that would have any impact whatsoever on play. The few light spindle marks around the centre hole would seem to reinforce this. A very nice copy indeed of this hard to find first issue Mono pressing. Tracklisting: 01. Vacation 02.
