Description
I have for sale a large collection of vinyl albums, so please take a look at some of my other auctions for some classic/collectable/vintage albums. There will be something for your parents, grand parents and even great grand parents (yep, seriously, some are that old!!)
As my feedback would suggest, i intend to list each album individually and with an honest and accurate description to the best of my ability. There's music from many genres and dating through the 50's 60's 70's and the 80's. ALL of the records are genuine original albums bought in the years stated, not remastered or reruns made in the 90's 00's or whatever.
The first thing that must be mentioned, and i will go in to greater detail further in each description, is the covers/sleeves. Although in most cases the covers are in a good acceptable condition and are complete and legible, these albums lived there life in a coal mining colliery with open coal/coke fires. So, in a lot of the cases the sleeve will be a little dirty with smoke/nicotine etc. but unless otherwise stated is still in a fairly good condition considering the age of the item! But please take a look at the pictures i have provided and read the extra information below, then if you have any questions and/or concerns please contact me and i will do my best to answer any questions in a timely manner.
So, this particular item is: The Beatles Rubber Soul (mono)
Cover condition, reasonable. Front is ok with some creasing near corners. Back is a bit grubby/discoloured but still completely visible and legible.
Vinyl condition, probably the worst of the lot mark wise. A lot of visible marks both sides of the album . However, i have played through on a 20yr old Bush turntable and plays fine with no jumping or skipping.
On the Parlaphone gold writing label, with serial XEX.579/XEX580 PMC1267 and year 1965.
UPDATE TO ABOVE INFO: AFTER REPLAYING THIS RECORD AGAIN, THE VERY LAST SONG ON THE ALBUM - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE - IS STICKING. THERE IS INFACT WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SERIOUS GOUGE RIGHT AROUND THE SONG ABOUT 20 - 30 SECONDS IN AND NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING IS GOING TO GET IT OUT. APART FROM THIS 1 TRACK ALL THE OTHERS PLAY FINE. THEREFORE I HAVE REDUCED THE STARTING BID TO REFLECT THIS.
My overall opinion of this item, average. Cover is reasonable i guess, being over 50 yrs old and the vinyl although it is marked in several places still plays through ok without any noticeable jumping or skipping (only my opinion in grading, i'm not a collector or expert), so i think it's just average.
