Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

THE MASCOTS
Your Mascots
Mega Rare Original Swedish / Scandinavian Decca 1st Press!
This listing is for an original Swedish Decca 1st pressing of the incredible debut LP by the Mascots, titled 'Your Mascots'.
The Mascots were a Swedish pop group that were heavily inspired by the British Pop and Beatles / Merseybeat sound. They only ever released two albums - Your Mascots and Ellpee. They were offered a record deal in England in 1966 which could have made them huge, but part of the deal was to change their names to 'The Swedish Design', which they refused.
The Decca labels are red / gold and feature the 'Manufactured in Germany' stamp in the deadwax. However, the NCB on the label is a Scandinavian prefix.
Today the Mascot's two albums are extremely rare and are highly collectible. It is extremely difficult to find an original, Scandinavian Decca press of this LP!
I also have an original 1966 1st press copy of their second album Ellpee for sale. Check out my other eBay listings!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

The cover is made from very thin, flimsy cardboard stock (think the early Elvis HMV albums) but is looking remarkably good for its age. The front has a lovely, rich colour to it and has some light wear and tear along with some light creasing. There's some glue residue on the left where a tear has been crudely repaired - as you can see in the photos below. The top and bottom seams are showing some wear but have not split or torn. The spine, again, is showing some light wear but is holding with no splits. The back isclean but witha little, light disc impression and some small creasing, but overall is looking okay. Overall, not bad at all! Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in EX- condition. The disc has a really nice, sharp shine to it and looks very clean. There's just some light scuffmarks here and there, but nothing at all serious or bad or anything. Looking very nice! Label Condition The labels are in EX+ condition. The labels are very clean with just some light spindlemarks. The gold print on each label is bright and vibrant, and there are no stickers, writing etc etc. Very nice labels!
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
