Fishbaugh, Fishbaugh And Zorn - 1972 UK Pressed CBS label 13-track LP

Rare 1972 UK Pressed CBS label 13-track LP - the sole album by 3-piece American folk-westcoast act residing in Europe signed to the CBS imprint... featuring Peter Zorn who contributed to the British electric folk scene during the 70 and 80'es - collaborating with Richard & Linda Thompson, Steeleye Span, Albion Band a.o.

Written in the warmth of 1970ies Californian San Fernado Valley, it is no wonder that their sound was described as "arcadian Californian harmonies, evocative of CSN&Y and other great groups of the genre, and songs, all written by group members, that run the gamut from reflective folk through archetypal west coast airiness to raucous rock."* - featuring the singles 'Love Comes Around' (Germany) and 'Everybody Get Out Of Bed' (Netherlands).

Vinyl has the generic all orange and black printed company labels with centered and boxed 'CBS' text and camera eye logo.
Vinyl has machine stamped matrix information, matrix number itself is horizontal, not curved:
Side 1: S64783 A2, mother/stamper A 2
Side 2: S64783 B2, mother/stamper A ?

suggesting this album to be pressed by CBS Pressing Plant, Aston Clinton, UK. We have never seen an A1/B1 matrix ending copy and believes this to be the first pressing.

Vinyl is housed in a "Patents Pending" texted unipak gatefold picture cover printed by Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels/ VG+ (Cover):

Vinyl itself is in astonishing condition - bright and shiny and hardly any signs of play or handling - plain close to mint.
Labels is without signs of handling - graded mint.

Cover has a nice front - a few light wrinkles from edges and along lower opening... a touch of smudging and otherwise nice. Back cover has a very few tiny age stains and light smudging along vinyl outline and wrinkles from edges are more pronounced as well.

Seams are intact except for 1 cm more intense lower back panel seam rubbing ca 7 - 8 cm's from spine - otherwise just a touch of rubbing here and there. Spine has been slightly pressurized but easily readable... a light age spot between the 's' and 'h' in the second 'Fishbaugh' is a not so tough imperfection.
Corners are slightly rubbed and more so dented - overall a very nice cover with a series of not so grave imperfections - graded VG+ overall.
