BEGIN HERE EUK 262 (-69) UK MONO

Decent sampler with some very good songs characteristc for the late sixties. Getting all original issues in playable condition could be costly, but this is still very affordable. Only cuts not previously appearing on any original album is both sides of the last original Love single "Your Mind And We Belong Together"/"Laughing Stock". That did show up on various collections later, but this was the first time on LP. The rest is from Elektra albums that can be very hard to find today. The folk rock band Eclection did not even exist for two years and "Confusion" here is from their only album. Nico' s "Lawns Of Dawn" - about a drug experience she had with Jim Morrison - is from the Marble Index LP, David Peel's "The Alphabet Song" first appeared on the Have A Marijuana album and the Tim Buckley cut "Phantasmagoria In Two" a pick from Goodbye And Hello. The mono sounds very good all through, but I haven't got a clue if all cuts are true mixes or which ones are. It may be some of the UK mono albums these came from were fold downs in the first place, or they used compatibles from the corresponding stereo sampler (EUKS 262). In any case it's all enjoyable listening. As far as I know only released in UK. First with structured label as shown here, thick vinyl and thin matt cover. (SÄM*) (NÖC*)(YMÖ*)
