Vinyl LP Record - The Pretty Things - 1965 Mono *UK 1st Press* FONTANA TL 5239
This is the VERY FIRST UK PRESS - MONO RECORDING ON FONTANA RECORDS - UK Garage Rock/Blues Rock Classic from 1965! Astonishingly Rare!
Outer Sleeve Grade: VG- (Sleeve has suffered some water damage and light warping. See photos.)
Vinyl Grade: VG+ (Sounds amazing! No background static/hiss like so many records from the mid-sixties except in a few very isolated places. Not flawless, but I feel very comfortable with the VG+ grade here. There are a few light surface scratches, but they don't seem to affect playback. No warps, no skips, beautiful copy.)
RECORD HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED ON VPI VACUUM TABLE. VERY LITTLE DUST. READY TO PLAY!
My Grading Scale for Vinyl:
NM: I will only use this when selling a BRAND NEW SEALED RECORD.
VG+: Record may have a few scuffs/hairlines but will otherwise look great. Should sound great as well - no major crackling or hissing to distract from enjoyment of playback on even the best equipment. If you are super sensitive to this stuff, stick to VG+ and up.
VG: Record may have some scratching/scuffing/blemishes. May have some light crackling/hissing during playback or a few audible pops. Record will still be satisfactory for 90% of parties and circumstances - a fine daily player on all systems, perfect for parties. If you have a lower end system or you don't mind a little crackling on playback, you should be good to go with VG records.
VG-: Record may have a few major scratches or audible crackling/hissing during entire playback. If you're looking for a nice budget copy of a great album, VG- is fine and it'll still probably sound decent on a low end system with heavy tracking force. If you aren't picky at all and just want to put the album on and listen to it, you'll enjoy a VG- record.
G+: I'll generally only grade a record G+ if there's something wrong with it, like a warp that makes the first part of a song unplayable or something. If you're looking at a G+ record of mine, READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION.
