Description
It's time to dispose of my entire record collection, amassed over the past 40 years, so keep an eye out for 1st pressings, monos and stereos. And some rare 45s.
I will do my best to describe each item in full and questions are welcome. I will visually grade in bright sunlight. If I find any blemishes I will grade again after playing through a Rega RP3/Ortofon/Naim setup. I do not have headphones so of course I might miss some pops and clicks - but I want to stay on good terms with my neighbours!
I do not grade 50 + year old records as EX, even if I think they are. I can't imagine any exist as EX outside museums or the collections of the original artists. The highest I will grade is VG++.
I have not played most of the records I am listing. I bought them (2nd hand) from very reputable dealers, at least 25-30 years ago, and just stored them away. They might benefit from a clean - I will not be cleaning any of my records before selling them as some people have strong opinions about how to clean rare vinyl.
Small Faces - From the Beginning 1st press.
Red unboxed Decca LK 4879. Mono UK 1st pressing. 1967 compilation.
Matrices: XARL-788I-5B XARL-7882-8A
Descritpion of vinyl In strong sunlight there are some whispy hairlines, fingerprints. VG+ Despite my proviso in the text above, I have in fact played this LP all the way through just now, for the first time since I owned it (which is about 25 years). There are no skips or jumps. The sound is crisp and clear. There are of course the occasional crackles - the record is 52 years old.
Descritpion of labels Red unboxed Decca. Inverted matrices.
Descritpion of sleeve The sleeve laminated on the front only. It has some wear at the open side, and a 1cm tear here. The unlaminated side has undergone some age-browning. No writing, splits, or ring-wear. The spine is intact and perfectly readable. VG.
Description of inner I am guessing this is the original plain white (or rather it was at some stage) inner. Now it is brownish and disintegrating around the edges. it is very flimsy.
I start all my auctions at £1.00 - and never use Buy It Now, so please don't ask.
Will be dispatched from the UK during the first week of July, using Royal Mail tracked. This covers up to £250.00 insurable loss. If you require more insurance this will be at the purchaser's own expense. But personally I think tracked and signed for is sufficient. I am willing to combine postage.
