Wot the lp is, is INCONTESTABLE.


Any guesses?


Anyone dare to take-up a Prog Masterman on this?

Well, maybe incontestable is a little too strong.

There are only two lps this good.

One is "SF Sorrow".

The other is.....


(Hint: 1967)

Magical Mystery Tour

You are taking the piss (cos MMTour origionally came out as EP)???

Here is the answer:

PROCOL HARUM - SAME

(Almost perfick lp, if not for the silly musichall peice, "Mabel")


The US Deram predated the UK Regal Zonophone by some months. Therefore that is considered the first.

Now answer me this: I have a MONO (brown) Deram Canadian press. This would be considered the absolute first if it is true that there was no US true mono Deram. I've never seen a mono US copy, only the "electronically-reprocessed " false stereo (red) Deram.

Must have been a US mono though.

Anyone know?

There was definitely a US mono. In UK it was only mono. UK original also omitted Whiter Shade of Pale, but had Good Captain Clack.

Do you seriously think this is the best UK rock LP ever? I don't even rate it the best PH LP.

I agree. I go for Salty Dog every time. Or maybe Broken Barricades. I like the Magical Mystery Tour answer. Full points...
Actually I go for the Paramounts the most.

Wallace gots the origional Israeli press of the debut lp (Regal Zonophone, laminated cover & backflaps).
Discogs lists 69 versions (including places like Taiwan & Venezuala) but no mention of this Isreal press.

Also gots the rather rare '92 Russian press on Arfon label. (slightly different Beardsly coverart.)
