PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR ENLARGED VIEWS AS PICTURES SHOW WHAT WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE!!       I AIM TO GIVE YOU A PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF EACH OF MY ITEMS AND I PUT IN THE EFFORT TO SHOW YOU AS MANY PHOTOGRAPHS AND AS MUCH TEXT AS I THINK YOU WILL NEED TO DECIDE ON WHETHER TO BID OR NOT.   MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK COMMENTS SHOULD REASSURE YOU OF HONEST DESCRIPTIONS, FAIR POSTAGE, EXCELLENT PACKAGING AND PROMPT DELIVERY UPON CLEARED PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED.   PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL ASK FOR ADDRESS CONFIRMATION WHERE EBAY SAY THAT AN ADDRESS IS UNCONFIRMED.   CHUCK JACKSON "ARRIVES" ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED, FLIP-BACK SLEEVE MONO LP ON THE TAMLA MOTOWN LABEL FROM 1968. AI AND BI MATRIX CODE SO MOST LIKELY A FIRST PRESSING.   AS WITH MANY OLD MOTOWN RECORDING IT HAS THAT GREAT FEEL WITH THAT DISTINTIVE DRUM SOUND!!   I WONDER WHY CHUCK NEVER MADE IT AS BIG AS SOME OF THEIR OTHER STARS? I GUESS TOO MUCH TALENT IN ONE STABLE AT ONE TIME!! WHAT A SITUATION TO FIND YOURSELF IN!!   RECORD HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED PRIOR TO SALE.   I WOULD DESCRIBE THE RECORD AS BEING IN AT LEAST OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION (PLAYS AS EXCELLENT) AND USE THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM FOR GRADING PURPOSES.

CATALOGUE NUMBER : TML 11071.

MATRIX ON SIDE ONE: TML 11071 A-1, H AT 9 O'CLOCK AND I AT 3 O'CLOCK. 

MATRIX ON SIDE TWO: TML 11071 B-1 , A AT 2 O'CLOCK AND I OR 1 AT 9 O'CLOCK.

SLEEVE  IN GOOD CONDITION.  THERE IS NO WRITING, TEARS OR SEAM SPLITS. 

THERE IS SOME RING-WEAR, LIGHT CREASING AND SCUFFING TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS. THE WORSE SCUFF TO A CORNER IS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WHEN VIEWED FROM THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE AND THIS CAN BE SEEN ON MY FIRST PHOTOGRAPH.

THE MOST EXTENSIVE CREASE IS ROUGHLY IN LINE WITH THE OUTER EDGE OF THE RECORD AND RUNS FROM THE "S" IN "ARRIVES", ANTI CLOCK-WISE UNTIL YOU REACHTHE "A" IN "JACKSON" AND SO IS ABOUT 200mm IN LENGHT..

THE SMALL STAIN TO THE RIGHT OF "ARRIVES" ON THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH WAS A LITTLE SOLVENT USED TO REMOVE A FRAGMENT OF A LABEL. THIS HAS SINCE DRIED COMPLETELY AND LEAVES NO TRACE.

OPEN EDGE IS IN FAIR CONDITION AND THE MATT CARD REAR TO THE SLEEVE IS UNSTAINED AS MANY COPIES WOULD BY NOW BE.

SPINE DETAILS CAN BE FULLY READ BUT THERE ARE A FEW CREASES TO THE SPINE THAT HAVE BROWNED A LITTLE WITH AGE.

THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS A CREASE ACROSS THE CORNER THAT HAS SPLIT THE LAMINATE COVERING AND EXTENDS FOR ABOUT 30mm.

RECORD  IN AT LEAST VERY GOOD CONDITION (MANY MIGHT HAVE SAID EXCELLENT) WITH A FEW LIGHT MARKS HERE AND THERE. THESE I WOULD THINK ARE MAINLY PAPER SCUFFS FROM THE RECORD BEING SLID IN AND OUT OF ITS INNER SLEEVE.  THERE ARE TWO IN THE MAIN THAT GO ACROSS THE RECORD, ONE ON EACH SIDE AT AT ANGLE TO THE GROOVE ON EACH SIDE; THESE ARE VERY LIGHT AND DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. 

RECORD HAS ONLY LITTLE WEAR FROM PLAY.

SOME VERY LIGHT LIGHT SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE MAINLY DISCERNABLE BETWEEN TRACKS AND A SMALL NUMBER OF POPS DURING PLAY. A LITTLE CRACKLING TO THE START OF SIDE TWO.

APPROX 160 gm PRESSING. 

UNWARPED. 

A FEW SPINDLE MARKS TO THE LABELS.

I HAVE RE-HOUSED THE RECORD INTO ANOTHER PLASTIC-LINED PAPER SLEEVE FOR PROTECTION AND TO AVOID ANY FURTHER WEAR TO ITS SURFACE.  ORIGINAL COMPANY EMI SLEEVE ALSO SUPPLIED FOR COMPLETENESS. THIS HAS ONE CENTRAL SEAM SPLIT AS SHOWN IN MY PHOTOGRAPH AND A COUPLE OF NICKS TO THE OPEN EDGE. 

ESSENTIALLY AN ALBUM THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED A BIT IN THE PAST BUT HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER. I AM PLAYING IT WHILE I WRITE THIS AND IT IS CLEAR FROM INTRUSIVE CLICKS AND POPS!

I REFER TO THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM AND WOULD DESCRIBE THIS RECORD AS BEING AT LEAST A VERY GOOD COPY.

I HOPE THAT CAN SEE THAT I AM VERY FUSSY AS I LIKE TO GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS THAT I THINK YOU WILL NEED TO DECIDE ON WHETHER TO BID.

I do not place hidden reserves for you to guess at, instead I place what I believe to be a realistic price for the item. Meet the opening bid price and if you are the successful final bidder then the RECORD will be yours!

THE RECORD WILL BE SENT PROMPTLY UPON SETTLEMENT AND WILL BE DESPATCHED IN A HEAVYWEIGHT, GOOD QUALITY MAILER PROTECTED WITH A PIECE OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD.  

I PRIDE MYSELF IN PROVIDING EACH OF MY ITEMS WITH EXCELLENT PACKAGING; I DO NOT THINK MY PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS HAVE EVER BEEN CRITICAL BUT PLEASE READ THEIR COMMENTS FOR REFERENCE. 

NO RE-USE OF SOMEONE ELSES PACKAGING MATERIALS HERE!!

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!!    

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!
