I have something nearly identical to this but in the picture here the label look deep blue, but my labels are almost turquoise. Wondering if anyone knows about this label or has it as well? -
I'm not really a big fan of mothers, or rather, i'd never really listened to them, but sides C and most definitely D are VERY enjoyable
-
For a 1966 stereo mix, it's not wide or isolated at all, compared to Beatles albums at the time. Tom Wilson must have actually put in the time. Amazing. -
The first Canadian Stereo Pressing is extremely rare. Mostly Mono copies exist. Possibly pressed 100 to 1.
