Junkies Monkeys & Donkeys - Original 1971 UK A&M label 10-track 1st Pressing LP

Rare original 1971 UK A&M label 10-track LP - Tel Aviv founded ex-Churchills members sole album under the Jericho Jones moniker before the simplified their name and called themselves Jericho... placing their sound between the Churchills' fuzz psychedelic sound and Jerichos hard rock leaning - underground exotic progressive hard rock.

Vinyl has the generic mustard coloured company labels with black lettering and leftside white box displaying fat, large 'A&M' text in red above 'Records' and trumpet logo in black.

Machine stamped matrix information:
Side 1: AMLH 68050A-1 *T, mother/stamper A 1
Side 2: AMLH 68050B-2 <>T, mother/stamper A 1
- the *T/<>T printing suggests this vinyl to be mastered at Pye Studios, London, by mastering engineer Tony Bridge. The somewhat loosely handwritten A... looks more like a distorted 'n'... stands for the 1st mother - the '1' for the 1st stamper - a 1st pressing.

Vinyl is housd in a polylined era specific inner sleeve - ultimately in a Howards Printers manufactured gatefold picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - hardly any sleeve inflicted wear - very close to mint.
Side 1 label is mint - Side 2 label has a single or two hardly visible, simple and superficial spindletraces. Labels and vinyl are overall graded near mint.
