John and the Wierdest on the Tie label doing Can't Get Over These Memories/No Time in VG to VG+ condition. Listed in Manship's rarest of the rare,  the record has its original luster and shine with great fidelity and clarity of sound. There are scattered ticks and scuffs that do not detract much from the overall fidelity. There is also a hiss in the trail in groove on both sides of the record that disappears as the music commences. As this may be a pressing flaw, this factor hardly detracts from the opening bars. Anyone who wishes to hear this classic northern piece is welcome to email me for mp3's of both sides. So, you can judge the quality yourself. There is a name written on the A side of the record. (see scan) No reserve and bids away. Customer satisfaction guaranteed as always.

The vinyl is dark black with no transparency. The thickness of the vinyl is similar to thickness of records from that time period.

    Regarding questions related to matrix numbers, there is a delta 68365-X in the run off groove.(Please see the photo of this.) Additionally, there is a T-101-A (on the A side) and a T-101-B (on the B side). There is also a small unclosed circle that appears stamped with symbols inside the circle. I have included two detailed scans of this circle that appears in the run off groove. According to one analysis, the delta number on this record is in different handwriting than the counterfeit and the stamp is far better defined, which offers convincing evidence of its authenticity. (Please read the letter of input from one expert analysis.) I have been told by two ebayers that "ar" normally appears inside the circle. If the symbols inside the circle stamp can be proven to be a bootleg, then all bids will be cancelled due to my oversight and I would offer a sincere apology to all who have inquired about it.  However, I  doubt that this is the case.  Additionally, the record was located with other records from that time period, and has the same "aged" look as records from that era. It would be unlikely that this older collection of records would contain an "aged" bootleg. I do not want to misrepresent this item to anyone. It certainly looks and sounds like an original. The symbols inside the circle were probably also used when the record was originally pressed. Any help from other knowledgable experts would be appreciated. And thanks for the help from Pete Smith of Planetary Records, confirming its original press..
