Maybe it's time to widen my horizon just a bit. Lately it seems I've mostly bought records I already have, either in worse nick or in some other fashion. It could be I'm getting older fast and therefore trying to stick with the run-in roads in some fatuous attempt to stop time, or maybe my musical taste is so jammed with what I already like I can't open up to new stuff. When it comes to this Yardbirds classic I've had and been totally pleased with the New Zealand green label issue for a very long time https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/06/this-was-yardbirds-debute-album.html . That is very rare, sounds good and I shouldn't need an update of any kind. But then this UK showed up at a reasonable price and of course I bought. I thought since they were British band an early UK press would be needed and as it showed this was a very early one. The label has both "Sold In UK..." and "Recording First Published...", a combo only used by UK EMI 1964. Also if you check the lower flip it's dated "6412", meaning it was first published December 1964. So logically all that must mean this copy was pressed during the first month. But however all that may be I will probably only listen to it once, just to check the nick, then it's going into the collection where it will stay unnoticed for God knows how long. Only benefit for me is now I know I own a very early copy of a classic album. But is that really worth the money and effort? That I can't say. (YÄB*) (LYBÖ*)
