Description
PRETTY THINGS S.F. Sorrow (German) EMI Columbia 1 C 062-04 004
This is a 1969 German EMI Columbia stereo 2nd press of The Pretty Things conceptual 4th lp, "S.F. Sorrow". Recorded late '67 / early '68 at Abbey Road, this lp is considered one of the top 5 UK psych lps by most.
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has 1C062-04004-A1 stamped and also the UK matrix YAX-3738-1 etched into the run-out. Side 2 has 1C062-04004-B1 stamped and also the UK matrix YAX-3739-1 etched into the run-out. 2nd stereo German EMI Columbia press.
Vinyl Visual Grade: NM with minimal marking. Has no spindle marks on label, indicating minimal play. Could use a good cleaning to remove minor dust. Side 1 label has a manufacture flaw whereby a small piece is missing (see picture).
Vinyl Play Grade: NM with EXCELLENT fidelity and very little noise at all. Surely as good a play as you will find of this 2nd German stereo press.
Cover Visual Grade: VG at least with no ring wear on front/rear of this glossy gatefold, but one ding top right front corner (see pictures) which affects look of front and back. Nice and clean with little rubbing. Spine and seams show minor wear. I would say that it is quite a nice cover other than the unfortunate corner ding.
Inner sleeve is die-cut (one side) plain white import paper inner that may well be original. LP will be housed in heavy plastic Audiophile style inner.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
