Item Description
Hi, and welcome to psych out auctions I ve collected 50 s, 60 s, and early 70 s records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm n Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life Obviously, 90 of the LP s I ve ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock n roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10 ? Reluctantly, I ve decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there I m currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there Make no mistake, I ll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find I aim to put a weekly batch up time permitting every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night.
I ll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I ve got I won t insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity.
I m sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it s a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard none of this digitally remastered ,weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would ve been geniuses themselves? There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that s just a tiny example .
I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music I strictly grade all LP s I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I ll always do my very best not to let you down.

This album is SURELY one of the best of all time.
It has to be the best psychedelia i ve ever heard.
If you ve never listened to it before, it s guaranteed to blow your mind It certainly showed me just what sort of things are possible with sound.
As you probably know, this original Mono Blue Black Columbia 1967 UK Press is impossibly rare, even more so considering worldwide Pink Floyd collectors have snapped up most of them - so when one hits the market, it really is a moment to behold, let alone one with such AWESOME audio Easily the greatest thing Pink Floyd ever did with every song bar one written by the genius of Syd Barrett, one of music s most notorious acid casualty s.
We should be grateful that he wrote this masterpiece, one of THE greatest albums of all time.
This original Mono mix is extra special.
Mostly mixed by Syd, you ve GOT to hear the Ever So High bit in Flaming in it s Mono form, it sounds truly incredible with Roger Waters Bass riff covered in echo There s a number of other differences from the stereo version too such as a growling organ at the start of Interstellar Overdrive, and if you listen carefully to the mono mix of Pow R.
Toc H.
,you can hear extra vocals such as a stoned Roger Waters howling with laughter Syd was a true, true genius, and this was his genius album with a little help from his friends of course .
An absolute timeless classic psychedelic rock LP.Tracklist : Astonomy Domine, Lucifer Sam, Matlda Mother, Flaming, Pow R.
Toc H., Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk, Interstellar Overdrive, The Gnome, Chapter 24, The Scarecrow, and Bike.Musicians : Syd Barrett- Vocals / Lead Guitar, Roger Waters - Bass Guitar / Vocals, Rick Wright - Organ / Piano, Nick Mason - Drums, and Norman Smith - Producer.
Trivia : This was part of a collection of classic albums recorded in Abbey Road in the summer of 1967 - in the studio s next door, The Beatles were building Sgt.
Pepper s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and in the next one on The Pretty Things were building SF Sorrow About : Ultra Rare Original 1967 UK Press This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything LP s were also really expensive to most people back then and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60 s / 70 s record collection Don t miss out on this MEGA RARE LP If you like good music, bid now The LP :Labels :Classic UK 1st Press KT blue black Columbia labels Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn t had too much play over the years at all AWESOME for a 51 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Very Good Record : Visual -Spectacular Original 1967 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT with NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes are just some light wispy sleeve traces, a few mild hairlines and age marks, and just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs only visible in direct angled light mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me Record : Audio - Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity It really sounds great with NO hops, hisses, sticks OR skips Only like pretty much all records has a touch of low level static in places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks, only a small amount of ultra light ticks on very rare occasions, just a slight touch of frequency static on only the very rarest of occasions very minor and only a touch of mild bluesman s fag atmospheric crackle in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections and between tracks, but it really doesn t overshadow the music AT ALL it s much more soft and atmospheric rather than the sound of bacon frying I d even argue it gives it added soul I tend to bring it down by listing every single flaw I noticed, but this remains a hugely enjoyable and clean sounding listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1967 Columbia vinyl AMAZING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audiably at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me Sleeve : Original UK 1967 Mono FUP front laminated flipback iconic E.J Day sleeve complete with original unsplit advertisement inner IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn, and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT, and looks simply AWESOME, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO bad marks AT ALL, NO splits, NO stains, NO creasing, NO writing OR graffiti, NO real discolouration to the unlaminated back UNHEARD OF for this sleeve , and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has some truly minimal signs of ageing such as just some light laminate creasing and a ghost of a record imprint, some minor signs of slight ageing to the remarkably unaged unlaminated back such just a little dusting to the flipback tips unbelievably clean after all these years , a touch of denting to the four corner tips which ALL vintage sleeves have, and POSSIBLY just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing every single negative I can possibly find, but this remains a FANTASTIC sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as incredible as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one You simply won t believe that this is 51 years old It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and 100 readable Must grade overall at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me Summary : A truly BRILLIANT example of this 51 year old INCREDIBLY RARE psych classic UK Mono Masterpiece Hard to find in ANY condition, but simply IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS AWESOME AS THIS BELIEVE ME, YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don t miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60 s/70 s music history Bid now Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Thanks again for looking, it s truly appreciated Cheers I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system.
I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean.
As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it.
