Description
ATTENTION 1960s BRITISH R&B/BEAT GROUP AND MANFRED MANN COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN DEBUT ALBUM BY MANFRED MANN:"THE FIVE FACES OF MANFRED MANN" WHICH WAS NOT ISSUED IN THE USA AND ALTHOUGH WAS A MAJOR UK #3 HIT ALBUM,VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING EXCELLENT+++ CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!. IT'S THE BEST COPY I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS AND THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE AS WELL AS A GREAT COVER AND A VERY CLEAN HMV LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE!
ISSUED ON THE EMI PRESSED HIS MASTER'S VOICE LABELS:CLP 1731 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES AND THE RAISED PRINT K T TAX CODE ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL. THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE EARLIEST PRINTED.
LOCATING A REALLY NICE 1964 MONO COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME SLIGHT USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW ULTRA FAINT AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! THE MONO MIXES HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE STEREO EDITIONS.NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.
STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT+++++++ CONDITION! MANY WOULD GLADLY STATE NEAR MINT.
THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING.
THE COVER HAS A FEW TINY CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK EDGES BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE 1960s BEAT LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
