Howdy from the Record Sheriff! 

And welcome to my record auctions. I pride myself on listing only the finest items. Collectability and Quality are the keywords.

All records on sale have been fully playtested and are guaranteed to not have playback defects such as skips, sticks, excessive surface noise and/or serious degrading in audioquality (not part of the original pressing).

When available the original inner sleeve is included, but all records I sell come into a new quality innersleeve which will be put next to the sleeve into a plastic outer sleeve.

I do ship worldwide. Please read my note below the pics if you are in one of the excluded countries. I am shipping from the Netherlands, not the U.K. Thank you.

Please check my other Buy-It-Now offerings.

Them – S/T (feat. Here Comes The Night) // Orig. UK ’65 Mono Export - Decca Parrot – Fine Condition

Label/Cat#:    PARROT PA 61005

Matrix:   ARL-6801-6A / ARL-6801-2A

Mother/Stamper:    1 / K & 1 / K

The Record:    VG+ (Strong)

This copy has had average use and has retained some of its amazing glossy sheen and finish. A handful of the wispiest of hairlines from sleeve removal and a number of non-sounding surface lines can be detected under a certain angle in all-revealing halogen light. My mono cart reproduced excellent full-bodied audio quality with little to no surface noise.

The Labels:  EX-  

The Sleeve:  EX 

Clean copy with shrinkwrap still included. The shrink is not intact (held together with some old tape) but has done a good job protecting the sleeve from harm. 

Note:  

Very scarce UK Decca export pressing with notable superior sound to its American counterpart. I estimate this pressing is outnumbered 1 to 20 by USA produced copies.  Those USA pressings were cut at Bell Sound, NY, which were known for their aggressive sound. The Decca engineers were -dare I say- more skilled at finding a good balance between loudness and distortion. It also has a different version of Little Girl (which might indicate it was cut from UK masters).

Please study the fully detailed pictures below.

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

I use the Record Collectors Grading system with just one + or – behind the grade. Mint minus is the highest grade I will use for *any* used item. Records are critically viewed under strong halogen light.  

Mint (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
