Thursday's Top Three! Including A Mighty Fine Example Of The Zombies' Finest And A Tasty Japanese Double Whammy From The Beatles And Status Quo!

THE ZOMBIES Odessey And Oracle

Incredibly rare original 1968 UK 12-track mono LP, housed in a front laminated non-flipback picture sleeve. Overlooked on its original release but now regarded as one of the finest English pop/psych albums of the era, this is the almost impossible to find MONO pressing!

 

THE BEATLES Beatles No.5

Rare 1970 Japanese first Apple issue of the 1966 14-track stereo LP, complete with fold out Japanese/lyric insert, unique silk laminated picture sleeve and original green & white point obi-strip. The sleeve is strictly graded EX/EX+, with only a few minor signs of age & shelfwear, the obi has only a few light creases otherwise superb. The vinyl remains a beautiful EX/EX+ with just a a few light surface scuffs which do not affect play. A very respectable copy of this rare and sought after almost 45 year old pressing.

 

STATUS QUO Tokyo Quo

Mega rare 1977 Japanese-only 9-track Vertigo 'Spaceship' label vinyl LP album recorded live at Sunplaza Hall Tokyo on 17/11/76. Comes in a red foil embossed & laminated gatefold picture sleeve with Japanese/lyric insert. The sleeve on this copy has some light signs of water damage which is only noticed on the inside, along with only light shelfwear. The vinyl is immaculate with only a couple of light spindle marks on the labels. A very respectable copy of this very hard to find pressing
