Description

This LP vinyl is from my private collection, which I am now selling off, all of which I bought new back in the 60's, and onwards, and have not been played for at least 30 years, until now.


I have graded this record using the Goldmine Standard grading system. Although it has been visually graded under LED lighting, I have also playgraded it. I consider that I have been very honest with my assessment, and have not over-graded it. Photos can never do justice to the condition of a record, so I've tried to describe the vinyl's condition as accurately and fairly as possible.

---------------------------------------


Please see the photos that highlight aspects, and form part of the following descriptions.


This is an ORIGINAL MONO early 1st Pressing (the matrix suffixes 1B/1A suggest it's an early pressing), released on the Decca label in April 1966. It has the maroon labels with silver text (the label photos show lots of other detail). The sleeve has a Clarifoil laminated front cover, with an unlaminated back cover.


Catalogue No. LK 4786

Matrix (stamped)

Side A – XARL-7209-1B

Side B – XARL-7210-1A


The Vinyl

I am grading this as VG+. There are some light scuffs and just a few hairline scratches, plus one very small audible scratch right at the end of the last track on side 1. The playback is still really clear for an LP of this age, despite the usual static crackle and clicks, audible during quieter sections. There are no skips, jumps, or sticking. Although visually clean, it would probably benefit from a professional deep clean. The LP is still holding a good gloss.

The labels are in excellent condition, with only a little spindle scuffing. No spindle hole wear. No writing or stickers.


The Sleeve

I am grading this as VG. The front cover still holds a good gloss to the laminate. There a few small creases around the edge, and a little scuffing in places, from storage. There is very little corner wear. The open edge shows signs of bruising. The back cover shows the usual age related handling and yellowing, and there is a name written near the top r/h corner. The print is still very clear. The spine is visually very clean.


---------------------------------------


The album will be sent out in a sturdy purpose made LP album packaging, with added card stiffeners, and marked 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND'. The vinyl will be sent in a new inner polylined paper sleeve, but separate to the main outer sleeve, to avoid damage from movement in transit. The whole album will then be enclosed in a polythene album outer sleeve.


Due to the current health situation, if you are the winning bidder, and paid for the item, I can store the record safely for you until you are happy for me to send it to you. If you would like this option please let me know, otherwise I will send it as normal.


Please Note:- I use eBay's Global Shipping Program for posting outside the UK.



Thanks for looking, and good luck.
