Description
EMI-Columbia, SMC 74 321 1st issue, 1967, golden/white Columbia labels, with "Bestell-Nr" This is an ultra rare first German pressing of the LP but is in FAIR to POOR condition (see details below for grading guidelines)..I played this on my newly-acquired Dansette and it did not jump but there was constant crackle throughout. I cannot state how it would play on a more unforgiving system. Due to the poor quality of the LP I cannot accept return on this item as I have been as honest as I can about the state of the record. One for the avid collector who just wants to own this rarity. Labels are blemish free. Cover is in v good condition (see PHOTOS and grading details below). Comes in the original inner sleeve which is in good condition (see photos).
I use the Record Collector’s Guide (see below).
All of my records are posted in the first available post. I also accept returns if the record differs from the description but please contact me directly first.
Please note: Postage prices take account of the fact that ebay charge a fee for postage.
I AM A TRUSTED RECORD SELLER ON EBAY (See prook64 listings) but have just opened a business account - hence the low seller rate.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
