HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO SCORE AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 

MINT- CONDITION COPY OF THE RARE YARDBIRDS 1967 

SWEDISH “STRET COVER” LP ON THE “HIS MASTER’S VOICE” LABEL!

100% AUTHENTIC! NOT A REISSUE! NOT A REPRODUCTION! GUARANTED ORIGINAL 1967 COPY. I PURCHASED THIS LP MANY YEARS AGO ON A BUSINESS TRIP TO EUROPE.

I’M A “CONDITION NUT” AND SUPER TOUGH GRADER, AND WHEN I SAY STUNNING, THIS COPY REALLY IS!  THIS COPY IS BEAUTIFUL. SOME DEALERS MIGHT EVEN SAY MINT.

IF YOU’RE A SERIOUS COLLECTOR, YOU KNOW THAT MOST SIXTIES PRESSINGS FROM EUROPE ARE USUALLY TRASHED. WITH BENT CORNERS, LOTS OF WEAR, LAMINATION SCRATCHES, AND OTHER DEFECTS.

NOT THIS ONE!

YOU’D NEED A TIME MACHINE TO TRAVEL BACK TO 1967 TO FIND A BETTER NICER COPY THAN THIS ONE.

AND FOR ALL YOU LED ZEPPELIN FANS, IT FEATURES JIMMY PAGE ON THE COVER FROM HIS BRIEF TIME IN THE GROUP. 

IT’S EVEN FEATURED IN HANS POKORA’S “RECORD COLLECTOR DREAMS” BOOK AS ONE OF THE RAREST UNUSUAL COVER VARIATIONS. 

APOLOGIES IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF HYPE, BUT I CAN’T STRESS ENOUGH JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS COPY IS WHEN YOU SEE IT IN PERSON.

SLEEVE CONDITION:

FRONT COVER:

PERFECTLY SHARP CORNERS, AND PERFECT SPINES ON ALL SIDES. NOT EVEN A HINT OF ANY SEAM SPLITS OR WEAR. AMOST ZERO RECORD IMPRESSION ON THE FRONT COVER, A FEW ALMOST INVISIBLE LIGHT LAMINATE SCRATCHES.

BACK COVER

BORDERLINE PERFECT. JUST A HINT OF RECORD IMPRESSION, A FEW ALMOST INVISIBLE LIGHT LAMINATE SCRATCHES. AND LIGHT AGE MELLOWING TO THE LAMINATE. 

LABELS:

BOTH SIDES VIRTUALLY PERFECT. VIBRANT COLOR, JUST A FEW SUPERFICIAL SPINDLE MARKS—YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE THEM UNLESS YOU LOOK SUPER CLOSELY. THERE IS A TINY “SPEC” ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE A MINOR PRINTING DEFECT. IT’S CLEAR THIS DISC PROBABLY ONLY SAW A TURNTABLE A FEW TIMES.

VINYL: 
BOTH SIDES RETAIN LOTS OF ORIGINAL LUSTRE, A FEW HAIRLINES MARKS. BUT AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSELY TO SEE THEM. VISUALLY, I’D CALL THE VINYL NM.

INNER SLEEVE:
NOT SURE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, BUT THAT’S WHAT IT CAME WITH. THE FACT THAT IT SAYS “PYE” RECORDS INDICATES THAT IT’S A EUROPEAN INNER SLEEVE.

MATRIX NUMBERS:

STAMPED SIDE A:   XCSX 144 -1

STAMPED SIDE B:   XCSX 145 -1

PLEASE NOTE: ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A FLAW IS SIMPLY CAMERA ARTIFACTS OR A BIT OF DUST. BOTH THE VINYL AND THE COVER ARE SUPER CLEAN.

STORED IN ITS 4mil MYLAR SLEEVE (included), IT LOOKS MINT.

THE OPENING BID IS ACTUALLY WAY LOWER THAN WHAT I PAID FOR THIS BEAUTY.
