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.
Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i ll be listing some gems that you just WON T want to miss out on I think that s everything, so let the auction commence Title : Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple Label year : Original Yellow Black Parlophone PCS 7055 LP , UK Stereo 1968 IMPOSSIBLY RARE 1st Press Matrix s : Side A : YEX 689 - 1 , Side B : YEX 690 - 1 EARLIEST EVER AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AND ULTRA RARE CLASSIC LP THIS SIMPLY NEVER TURNS UP AND IS RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO FIND Sold next to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, resulting in this EASILY being THE very rarest Deep Purple LP out there And if that wasn t enough, it sounds GREAT Don t miss out, bid now About : Ultra Rare Original 1968 UK 1st 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 yellow and black Parlophone labels Both sides are GREAT with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has some light spindle marks from general use over the years BRILLIANT for a 45 year old record Both must grade overall as Very Good Record : Visual - Spectacular Original 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 excessively nasty marks, NO deep scratches that ruin playback, and NO vicious scuffs either It just has quite a few of the usual light, wispy sleeve traces, some obvious but still fairly light scratches, and a few mild non-sounding hairlines only visible in angled light mostly from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these blemishes interfere with play AT ALL, and they CERTAINLY don t effect the smoothness of it s playing Well used, but still GREAT for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall visually at least as 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 stereo seperation 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, the very rarest odd light non repetitive click now and then, and just 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 1st Press 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 1st press front laminated flipback patents pending G L sleeve complete with original advertisement inner IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn, worn, and stained due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT bad at all, and looks BRILLIANT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO stains, NO graffiti, NO splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has some minor signs of ageing such as a few creases and a touch of a record imprint, some minor touches of ageing to the unlaminated back such as a feint name written in the top left corner and a tiny amount of incredibly vague ink rubbing and a miniscule amount of ultra light barely visible age spots truly minimal - absolutely NO coffee cup marks, grubbiness or anything like that whatsoever , and just a touch of denting to the four corners which virtually all vintage sleeves have, but that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing all the most minor negatives I can see, but this is still a BRILLIANT sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as awesome as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains strong, solid, unsplit, and 100 readable Must grade overall as Very Good minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me Summary : A used, but BRILLIANT sounding example of this INCREDIBLY RARE classic Stereo 1st Press LP Hard to find in ANY condition, but IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS SONICALLY AWESOME AS THIS YOU WILL 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.
