Description
I am selling my entire vinyl collection over the next few months. Beatles and Led Zeppelin all gone now. Next up is Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Yardbirds, Who, Small Faces.
This example of Are You Experienced I purchased from a very well known UK dealer from Essex about 25 years ago, at a UK record fair, before the days of eBay. He is here on eBay - known for his extremely detailed descriptions.
The mono sound is just superb. A few crackles here and there, no doubt dust as I have had this stored away upright out of sunlight amongst all my other vinyl since 1993. No pops no jumps.
Visually graded indoors the vinyl does look nr Mint. But taking advantage of the blazing sunshine I took it outside, and unsurprisingly there are hairlines - after all the record must have been pulled in and out of the sleeve a few times in the ensuing 52 years. That is why I am grading it EX-.
- Side 1 Matrix / Runout 612001 A ? 1
- Side 2 Matrix / Runout 612001 B # ? 1
The sleeve is VG++. No tears, stains, writing, splits, some small creased laminate lifting. 4 good corners and a complete spine which is just starting to rub but still readable. No ring-wear. There is a sticker from the shop where the record was purchased in 1967 still affixed to the back cover. Printed and made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London W.1 Patent Pending
Labels are clean, just some spindle marks. ? 1967
A. Schroeder/(Yamela)
Plain white inner. British patent No. 800513 & 973939. Made in England. 50 /119
A rather stunning example of this classic debut LP.
I start all my auctions at £1.00. I don't see any point in higher starting prices. I don't do Buy It Now auctions, or stop auctions early at anyone's request. So no need to ask.
