Art Gallery - 1st

THE ARTWOODS Art Gallery (Very Rare 1966 UK first press 12-track mono vinyl LP on the deep groove unboxed red Decca label, the one & only album from the influential British Mod/Freakbeat band, featuring the talents of Arthur [Art] Wood on vocals [Ronnie Wood's brother], Derek Griffiths on guitar, Malcolm Pool on bass, a pre-Deep Purple Jon Lord on organ & the great Keef Hartley on drums. This album was an important part of the 60s British RnB movement but rarely surfaces for sale.Ideal for Animals, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Alexis Korner, Georgie Fame, Yardbirds, Zoot Money, John Mayall & Who collectors alike, 'Art Gallery' is packed with some choice nuggets & obscure covers, the album title alone hinted at a much bigger 'art rock' movement to come in Britain. Includes the psychedelic-tinged 'Keep Lookin' & the RnB screamer 'Stop & Think It Over'! Comes housed in the original front laminated picture sleeve complete with the original die-cut Decca company inner. See 'more info' for condition details... LK4830)

Tracklisting & More Information

Condition:-

Sleeve:-
The front laminated picture sleeve is in nice condition. The sleeve has a small amount of laminate lift along the spine. The non-laminated back is free from writing and has some light ringwear the edges and some general wear, nothing too excessive and still looks fantastic. The original poly inner is enclosed, which also remains in a nice condition. This is firmly an Excellent example of this rare Decca sleeve that deserves framing!

Labels & Vinyl:-
The labels have no tears or writing. There are just a few light spindle marks around the centre hole to show light play. The matrices are machine stamped in the run-outs & both end '1A'.
The vinyl has a deep sheen both sides & is a high-quality deep groove pressing by Decca. Play testing reveals superb sound clarity & rich sonics on its intended mono setting. This record is so difficult to find, even when Decca's pressing plant, in theory being a mere hour's drive from us here, we have only ever seen two other copis.
This album must have sold very poorly on release with any copies left in circulation quickly ending up in private collections & with most finding their way abroad it seems. Any copies left of this album that appear on the market will have been played in to some degree. The vinyl here is nice & clean both sides. It's as good as a collector could hope for with this very rare Decca original & deserves to command its price on the collector's scene. Recommended!
