Hello and welcome to my auction for: 

THE SMALL FACES

FROM THE BEGINIING

LP

ORIGINAL

First pressing – NO SLEEVE!

• Decca Records
• LK 4879 (Mono)
• XARL 7881 – 5B/9A
• 1966
• (Cover/Vinyl) na/P+

Original pressing of this rare LP. Vinyl has many marks and scratches but plays through ok on my equipment with surface noise and only two slight skips during “Runaway” on side one. Also has name written on side one label. To be safe, expect skips, clicks, pops and sticks throughout on other equipment. Collection filler until a better copy comes along. I’ve still enjoyed listening to this great album – but turned it up loud to drown the surface noise out! £3 start with no reserve as per usual of all my auctions. 

GRADINGS:

VINYL:

M (Mint) - Record is unplayed and faultless. I only give this grading to records that are still sealed.

NM (Near Mint) - Record has been played but shows no signs of this. Flawless audio throughout and in as new condition.

EX (Excellent) - Great audio with only a hint of surface noise on quieter passages. Acceptable to most collectors.

VG (Very Good) - Great audio with very light surface noise present. Most audio will drown the surface noise out. Still a very respectable copy.

G (Good) - Audio quality still present but this will be affected with constant surface noise and some audio flaws such as clicks and pops (will be specified in the listing). Good collection filler.

P (Poor) - Collection filler until a better copy comes along. Expect audio faults throughout and skips in places (will be specified in the listing) 

SLEEVE:

M (Mint) - Sleeve shows no signs of use and will still be sealed.

NM (Near Mint) - Sleeve in as new condition but has been removed from original shrink-wrap.

EX (Excellent) - Beautiful sleeve with only a few light signs of handling/storage wear. Acceptable to most collectors.

VG (Very Good) - Sleeve in tact with some signs of handling/storage wear and possibly some creasing. Still a respectable copy.

G (Good) - Sleeve complete but may have some damage such as splits, writing, staining (will be specified in listing). Good collection filler.

P (Poor) - Collection filler until a better copy comes along. Expect many faults and damage (this will be specified in the listing)

BEFORE BIDDING, PLEASE READ:

I've been selling on records from my personal collection for many years now. I sell a record whenever I find a better copy or simply need to clear out some space. I very seldom have any trouble with transactions although in the past some buyers (who have actually turned out to be traders) have been buying my records to sell on and have tried to haggle for a partial refund due to the record "not being as described". I am not a professional record trader although do collect records myself and do know how to grade them correctly. I only give refunds upon the full return of the record (and if it is in the same condition as I sent it, I do retain evidence) and the responsibility is with the buyer to pay return postage.

At the minute I only dispatch to the UK, please contact me first to find out the postage costs to your country if it isn't already specified - do not wait until you have won the item to enquire about postage! Thank You in advance!

Postage is £3.00 which includes a custom LP mailer, protective packing, a recycled sleeve and the actual cost of shipping. The record itself is removed from the sleeve to prevent any damage to the sleeve during postage. Please allow up to 7 working days for delivery and please contact me should there be a problem, I will always endeavor to sort it out! 

I'm a friendly person and I am always happy to answer any questions or queries about the item or the transaction. I can always provide more photos and audio samples for anyone who needs them - feel free to ask! 

Finally - Happy Bidding!
