CLYDE MCPHATTER
SEVEN DAYS / I'M NOT WORTHY OF YOU
SUPER-RARE 1956 UK LONDON 45-HL-E 8250 FIRST PRESS GOLD LETTERING TRI-CENTRE 45-MSM-1184-1C / 45-MSM-1185-1CVINYL
WE'RE VERY PROUD TO HAVE UNEARTHED THIS ONE. REALLY DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS 1957 CLASSIC McPHATTER 7", AND IN THIS BARELY PLAYED CONDITION, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE SINGLE CLEARLY HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH - SOME SMALL STORAGE AND FEINT SLEEVE REMOVAL HAIRLINES, BUT OVERALL, THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, AND WILL BE HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT.
THE EXCELLENT PLAYBACK IS LOUD AND DYNAMIC. THERE IS SOME BACKGROUND, A LITTLE MORE ON THE B-SIDE, BUT IT'S MOSTLY NOTICEABLE ONLY ON THE RUN-INS AND OUTS AND QUIETER PLACES. THE BACKGROUND DOESN'T DETRACT FOR ME, AND I'M PLAYING IT ON A VERY UNFORGIVING LINN SONDEK SET-UP, BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE IS SOME THERE.
OVERALL I'D CONSERVATIVELY GRADE THIS HUGELY COLLECTABLE SOUL RARITY AT A LOVELY AND STRONG VG++, WITH A HIGHER VISUAL GRADE. PLEASE SEE OUR FEEDBACK FOR GRADING - IT'S ALL SUBJECTIVE OF COURSE, BUT YOU WON'T FIND MUCH BETTER F/B.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES.
LABELS
LOVELY VG++ BOTH SIDES WITH NO WRITING OR MAJOR WEAR. THE GOLD LETTERING IS SURPRISINGLY UNFADED AND CLEAR (CLARITY BEING THE REASON THAT LONDON SWITCHED TO SILVER PRINT). SOME SMALL WEAR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AND TRI CENTRE, BUT LIKE THE VINYL, NOT SO EASY TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION.
SLEEVE
THE SINGLE CAME TO US IN IT'S ORIGINAL SLEEVE, WHICH WE'RE PLEASED TO PASS ON. ONLY VG, BUT SO NICE TO HAVE THE RECORD WITH IT'S ORIGINAL PROTECTION (AND NOT A SLEEVE 'SWITCH-OVER'!). THE OWNER HAS WRITTEN THE TITLE AND ARTIST ON ONE SIDE IN FOUNTAIN PEN. SHIPS WITH NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVE.
PAYMENT & PACKING POSTAGE FOR THIS 7" IS FOR UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED-FOR AND FULLY INSURED.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PRICES QUOTED ARE CHEAPER THAN THE PRICES THAT ROYAL MAIL CHARGES US FOR HIGH VALUE ITEMS.
POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES WILL BE DISCOUNTED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
PAYMENT:
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE. THE RECORD WILL BE POSTED OUT THE DAY FOLLOWING PAYMENT.
PACKING:
7"s: ALL OUR SINGLES AND EP'S COME SECURELY PACKED IN STURDY MAILERS AND CARDBOARD STIFFENERS. THE VINYL IS PUT INTO A NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVE, AND THEN INTO A POLY OUTER SLEEVE ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE.
LP'S: THE VINYL IS PUT INTO A NEW POLY INNER SLEEVE AND PACKED OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL COVER TO AVOID RINGWEAR AND SEAM SPLITS. BOTH VINYL AND COVER ARE THEN HOUSED IN A NEW POLY OUTER SLEEVE FOR EXTRA PROTECTION BEFORE PACKING WITH MAILER AND STIFFENERS.
We have been buying and selling rare vinyl for over 30 years. We have a large and eclectic vinyl-only stall at most of the major UK record fairs, including Olympia and Westminster, where our reputation for selling records in superb condition is well known. We specialise in all things Psych & Prog, although you'll find all genres in our ebay listings.
Unlike most shops, we play-grade all of our 7" singles, and at least part of our LP's, including run-ins and outs, track breaks and at least one track. Rarer LP's are carefully play-graded all the way through.
We're very proud of our 100% feedback. If there's any kind of problem with the item, please contact us first to resolve before leaving feedback.
Thanks!
