The KT embossed label on the UK press is the very 1st press 1st edition and this listing is a 1st press 2nd edition for export. That is my understanding.

Sweet vocals that bring to mind tame impala is a big way which means tame impala probably listened to their fair share of Korgis lps. This lp would fit right in with the early 2000 indie bands and you would never know the difference. A huge beach boys...

OMG this is great! These lush Beatlesque/CSN 3 part harmonies just wash over you while Maacaesque bass lines bounce around in your head. This is a fantastic slice of late 60s popsike with a leaning towards folk that will truly blow your mind on how...

Just added a 4th variant which is really early!
All sides are from the 1st lacquer, side 1, 3 & 4 used the 1st mother with side 2 using the 2nd mother and side 1, 2 & 3 used the 6th, 4th & 5th stamper with side 4 using the 18th stamper. Also happens... See full review |

Fantastic pressing with a nice wide soundstage and centered vocals. The music within is also excellent with replay value due to the variety in styles that all fit in with the times. My only gripe is how short this is but it really isn’t noticeable due...

+1 to that. Under appreciated and criminally overlooked AM gold pop band from England. I like all of their late 60s and 70s output so don’t sleep on this band
|
|
Oh wow. When I bought this I wasn’t sure what to expect as club pressing that use their own metal parts can be hit or mis but this one is certainly a HIT! The vinyl is a bit thinner than my original white label promo and black label standard cut but...

The printed inner sleeve and outer sleeve are not flimsy. The inner sleeve is a solid card stock too. Overall a very nice pressing packaging wise and soundstage.

More proof that you need to stick to the original pressing of #1 record and radio city. Here is a fascinating article and interview between Tom port and Jeff Powell.
A few years ago I had a lengthy conversation with Jeff Powell of Take Out Vinyl,... See full review |

This starts off right where coyote’s dream ends! If you love that lp which I know I do, then you will need this one. I think coyote’s dream is a masterpiece so these lost mid to late 70s songs slated for album #2 had big shoes to fill as a sophomore...

5 years later, do you have the bank roll for an OG now? It sure does sound fantastic

Debtroit, this press uses the exact same plates as the UK. The only difference is the sleeve on this EU is missing the LPKIDA1 on the barcode.

This original 1st monarch press has a phenomenal sound. Transparency and Richness! One quality I had no trouble recognizing on this press was transparency which made it possible to hear through the mix to Carole's piano, which is usually placed toward...

Former lead singer & songwriter for the legendary Antioch Ohio band Mad River who released 2 late 60s groundbreaking acid archival psych lps! Not only are the mad River albums classics that have gone criminally overlooked, so is Hammond’s solo lp from...

Stunning performance and sound quality! Gotta love these FM broadcasted shows as they tended to get the absolute best recording quality during the 70s. Seek one of these out
|
|
What a beautiful crystalline album this is! Creation label really knew how to pick ‘em back in the late 80s and 90s. A great Sunday morning or late evening vibe with zero filler. Their first 3 were all strong albums in my opinion. As for the vinyl...

I owned both but sold off the repress. No point on keeping it.

These yellow labeled sidewalk pressings sound magnificent! Wide and transparent with plenty of punch and drive. A fantastic technicolor pressing with equally fantastic songs to match. I have not heard the orange tower label pressing yet and heard the...

A stunning SoCal recording that is so creamy your eyes will roll back into your head while listening to it. The harmonies are just sublime and the pressing… wow! 3D baby. So so good sounding that you will swear they are in the room with you. And the...

Todd Rundgren produced this lost Philadelphia band’s only album back in 1970 off the Ampex record label. The American Dream’s album blends power pop, lite psychedelia, blazing hard rockers, folk-rock and roots music effectively throughout its 12 songs...

This is the 2nd edition however both records (this and the original) have the same stampers.

I will add the run out info. Just saw your note from 5 years ago. lol.

This original masterdisk pressing absolutely rips!! Thee definitive pressing to own & hand numbered as an added bonus. Spoon collectors and fans should own one of these
|
|
Really nice low end rumble and mastering for this pressing. Creepy movie with creepy music to match.
|
|
An under appreciated masterpiece that fuses Americana, psych, cosmic alt country, soul and a smattering of gospel with these 3 to 4 part harmonies that will have your eyes rolling back from how stunning they sound. A fantastic album that sounds...

A truly stunning pressing! The soundstage on this is wide, full and transparent. A 3 dimensional cut coming from this press. Highest recommendation
|

Mono is the way to go since that was the dedicated mix. It sounds full and punchy
|

Another brilliant powerpop album from the man, the myth and the legend van duren. He recorded one of the greatest pop masterpieces of the 1970s in are you serious and only added to his legacy with some fantastic pieces he recorded with Jody Stephens...

While this may not be the same type of powerpop from their previous 2 efforts, I do find this one super catchy with even better pop hooks especially on love me forever. I keep coming back to this one over the others.

A powerpop masterpiece of the late 70s. I love all 3 they released including transfer station so don’t sleep on this band
|
|
|
They definitely switched it up to match the times and what was hot plus Bryson had left the band after vis a vis. Fortunately the album has a ton of catchy tracks so it’s worth picking up especially this monarch press which sounds fantastic

Sounds like white album demos by John Lennon to me. Fantastic artifact that any fan of the band or genre should own.
|
|
This is the best pressing of this great lp bar none.
|
|
Picked this pressing up since cold roses is one of my favorites from Adams and must say I do like this pressing a bit better than my original 2005 press but will keep the original since I collect original pressings when I can. Get both!
|
|
Fantastic slice of beatlesque psych pop with a dash of Hollies on top! Highly recommended if you love the Beatles or July from the same era.
|
|
This is a fantastic album and youth lagoon’s best in my opinion. Psych mixed with the best of animal collective and Todd rundgren’s craziness found on a wizard a true star
|
|
The 3rd lp that has the incredible bonus material is worth the price of admission! Stunning
|
|
Sounds like a boot to me. Damn! Didn’t know they existed
|
|
|
I kind of thought they sounded like white album demos and outtakes which is pretty cool
|

Only 100 extremely rare copies came with the complete cover, of the 1969 US release on ONYX. 500 were privately pressed & only 100 came with the front & back cover slicks. Some had just the back slick or just the front. If you score one with both... See full review |

Olivia tremor control may have heard this lp. Similarities abound
