THE MISUNDERSTOOD - I Can Take You To the Sun / Who Do You Love
Incredibly rare and sought after 1966 UK psychedelic rock gem, FONTANA TF 777
Matrix Numbers : Side 1 267661 1F 1 420 11 1 Side 2 267661 2F 1 420 11
Both sides of the vinyl really gleam and give the impression of having been played only a few times. Under a bright light and at the right angle you can just make out a couple of small, thin wispy hairlines and overall the condition of both sides of the vinyl are excellent.
Both labels are pristine with no blemishes at all.
The quality of the audio is excellent. There is just a little, mild and occasional background crackle, slightly more noticeable on side 2, but nothing here to significantly detract from the overall excellent sound quality. I suspect that a professional clean may cure what little crackle there is - obviously caused by dust in the grooves because the condition of the vinyl itself is truly excellent.
Comes in original Fontana outer sleeve which has no tears or splits and remains fully functional.
If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.
If this record interests you then take a look at my other listings for more 50's, 60's and 70's classic vinyl.
A bit about myself : I have been collecting vinyl for more than 45 years and have amassed a huge collection covering a varied genre, but mostly of 1960's and 70's origin. Most of my records were originally bought by myself for my own collection, but over the years I have embellished my collection by buying records from a variety of sources : friends/acquaintances, car boots, auctions, and even through putting up a "vinyl wanted" notice in my wife's shop! I never intended selling any of my records but now I am retired and a combination of space requirements (caused partly by duplication) and a need to help fund my retirement has prompted me to "rationalise" my record collection and sell many of my much loved gems. My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I'll sort out the problem. I offer a "no quibble" refund policy.
On the subject of postage, I take great care in the packaging of all items, using a proper vinyl cardboard mailer along with at least two cardboard stiffeners. I take great care in removing the record from the outer sleeve in order to prevent sleeve damage in transit. I do NOT profiteer from postage costs. I DO take great care in minimising all risk thereby ensuring, as far as possible, that your purchase reaches it's destination in exactly the same condition as when I post it. For this item postage & packaging will be Royal Mail 1st class : UK £1.50, continental Europe £3, and Rest of the World £5. I do discount post & packaging costs for multiple purchases. Good luck with your bidding. Richard
