Comments and Reviews


Hawkmarty SUBS 16th Nov 2019		Added third pink label pressing. As ppint rightly points out the sleeve has the black border, is double thickness across the whole of the gatefold and loads the record at the right of the right gatefold; no spine loading nonsense.



Focus B 22nd Aug 2019		Traffic are probably unique in me preferring the stereo mixes of all their '60s releases.



esfera04 20th Mar 2017		@pprint: I added two scans of my own record. I also posted pictures of my german Traffic album ´Hole In My Shoe´ from 01.1968. The original Mr. Fantasy wasn´t available until 1971, when the Ariola group started to distribute Island Records in Germany & Netherlands.



ppint. 19th Mar 2017		the black-bordered, heavier card full double-thickness gatefold sleeve is not the 1967 original sleeve, but from the later reissue. the original 1967 sleeve is the inside centre-loading, single thin card-fronted sleeve, made from folding one three-panelled sheet of light card over from the righthand side into the middle, and folding and gluing two long tabs from what had been the middle panel over, top and bottom, forming the pouch into which the lp, in paper sleeve, is placed. the original sleeve has no black borders.



esfera04 19th Mar 2017		@ppint: that´s right, no vinyl mono re-releases. I´ve added the two earlier labels from 1967.



ppint. 14th Jan 2017		@esfera: but not on vinyl in the seventies along with this reissue (nor in the eighties) - sfaiaa.



esfera04 8th Jan 2017		@ppint: There is a CD with the Mono Mix: Island 314 542 822-2, released 2000 by Universal Music / Island Def Jam Music Group, New York.



ppint. 2nd Dec 2015		the mono mix lp, ilp 961, was probably not reissued - unless some catter knows otherwise. . .
