Item Description
ONEADAYRECORDS Simply Delivering Quality Music to the World in Quality, Safe Packing.
Postage: UK 4.75 1 per extra record .
Europe including Russia 12.50 2 per extra record .
Rest of World including ALL parts of the USA 16.50 3 per extra record .
All boxes signed for in quality, safe packaging I NEVER use mailing envelopes that offer virtually no protection at all in fact I think these things should be banned as records WILL arrive damaged in them at some time.
Here, you get what you pay for SAFE PACKING in BOXES using 7mm DOUBLE-WALL STIFFENERS.
Full details nearer the end of the listing.
Posting to Russia: Yes, I do post to Russia.
But delivery can take up to 4 to 6 weeks from the UK.
So please be patient.
I will submit a tracking number to the winning bidder, and when the packet arrives there it can be followed online using the Russian post website.
ALSO: I now apply the Ebay 2-day rule for non-payment to keep things moving cash-flow is important for any small business.
I will always keep my P P prices as low as possible, and even after yet another Royal Mail price hike from April this year, I have NOT raised my prices and will never compromise on solid, safe packing that is invariably heavier than most you will get.
My P P offers probably the best value-for-money for vinyl records available, and I even will pay for full insurance on any record that sells for over 100 at NO extra cost that is UK and abroad.
Also I aim to post the very same day after payment is received.
You WILL see the difference when my packet arrives.
FINALLY: Late payers, non-payers and 0 bidders will now be blocked or cancelled at my discretion.
As will any bidder who cancels a bid.
I do not like this practice as it is most often used to phish out the price to beat.
Ebay does not approve and neither do I so only bid on my items if you want them.
Artist or Band: DEEP PURPLE Album Title: Deep Purple In Rock Producer s : Deep Purple TRACK LIST: Side 1: Speed King Blood Sucker Child in Time.
Side 2: Flight of the Rat Into the Fire Living Wreck Hard Lovin Man.
Label/Format: Harvest with matt, smooth surfaces.
This first pressed format copy has no EMI logo and includes the GRAMOPHONE CO LTD text on the rims.
Later pressings included the small boxed EMI logo and the text was changed to EMI Co Ltd.
Label Conditions: Both clean, fresh and attractive with spindle marks light , very fine and faint.
Cat Number: SHVL 777 Mode / Speed: Stereo / 33.3 rpm.
Warps: Assume all records I offer have no warping of any significance and all tracking is easy and effortless and should play on all turntables and even budget decks.
Weight of this Record: 130 grams.
A very good solid weight.
Country of Manufacture: England Rarity: Moderately scarce as a first issue, this album sold well.
Lightly played pre-EMI label copies are harder to find.
Original Year of Release: 1970 Matrix Nos: SHVL 777 A-2 / SHVL 777 B-1 Stamper Codes: 1 R / 1 T these stampers the earliest I have seen to date, R being the second in the sequence Musicians: Ritchie Blackmore - guitar Ian Gillan - vocals Roger Glover - bass Jon Lord - organ Ian Paice - drums.
Brief Artist Album Info: Arguably Deep Purple s finest and most treasured album, their fourth and the one that really won them mass appeal after a patchy start with the band performing cover versions and really going nowhere very fast in commercial terms.
A new vocalist was introduced Ian Gillan and now performing their own material, a new supergroup was born.
An album of hard-edged riffs and vocals of the highest calibre few singers could even live with the power behind him but this new formula worked perfectly.
In Rock quickly became one of the heavy rock classics of all-time and this contains several of the band s finest anthems including the awesome Child in Time and Speed King .
My favourite song here however is the lesser mentioned final song, Hard Lovin Man that simply drives and flows from the speakers with channel-to-channel pyrotechnics with speed a hugely impressive track.
Special mention here to for Lord s superb keyboards, keyboard players within heavy bands often do not get the praise they should this man was an integral member and helped give Deep Purple their special sound.
This album sold well, and peaking at 4 in the UK but only a poorly 143 in the US it has to be one of the very best issued on this famous progressive label.
A very fine all-round example lovely clean shiny cover and a record that plays well, and one of the earliest examples I have ever seen.
Cover Grade and Format: EXCELLENT : a gatefold format, laminated front and back, the inside matt finished and smooth.
Printed and made in England by Garrod Lofthouse Ltd.
Included is the Harvest promotional inner sleeve.
Lamination Front Back: The laminate retains a superb shine, freshness and clarity with hardly even a trace of dulling even viewed under light.
No lifting either.
Most of any creasing on the spine edge, both side look really impressive and hardly aged.
Cover Inside: Barely any real wear, only light handling traces on the matt black areas that can rarely be avoided.
Top Bottom Edges: Minimal edge wear and all straight, the front edge top has the card end panel a little proud of the fold which is very common on this cover, that purely in manufacture.
Right Edge s , and Type: Both very clean and largely sharp with little wear.
Any thickening or burring light and mild as seen viewed end-on.
Record enters on the back edge, all are guaranteed untrimmed or enhanced.
Spine and Text: With the raised type of inner hinge, this spine will in most cases form a natural central recess and the text will sink a little.
Exactly that here, but only very gentle, so the text is easy to read and fully present under uncracked or peeled laminated.
Solid, straight and devoid of wear, this spine is also impressive.
Corners: A very small rub to the front bottom right tip, little else, excellent or even better shape retained with no bashes or dinking of any real note.
Cover Summary: A very impressive example of this very famous rock cover, this does it strong justice and will please many collectors.
The Harvest Inner Sleeve: NEAR EXCELLENT: or thereabouts.
Only marked down for darkening of the paper, so a little aged in appearance as seen.
Minimal creasing and the lining present with no edge splits or repairs.
Vinyl Condition/Visual Grading: EXCELLENT: arguably better.
A very fine visual copy that is very clean with equally fine shine and solidly pressed.
A copy appearing modestly, and carefully played on all the evidence with any surface trace marks very light, fine and faint as seen critically under bright angled light.
No penetrating stylus marks and well pressed.
Visually a splendid record that should please many collectors again.
Album Played For Grading: Yes.
I play ALL records I offer before submitting to Ebay, also the record is played in its entirety unless clearly stated otherwise.
I do NOT play snippets or joining grooves to check for sound quality and quietness I play from the beginning to end via clinically revealing B W speakers that include the legendary tweeter from their awesome Nautilus range that reveals every blemish or minuscule sound present on any record.
Sound Quality and Audio Grading: This major rock album plays even above it s high visual grading with little to fault.
Offering strong, high-quality sound with a wide dynamic range and great production.
Any surface sounds are minimal indeed and this is a clean pressing with no tracking issues .
Few available copies will outperform this very early pressing significantly I feel sure this being the earliest I have seen to date.
Most have considerably higher stamper codes, and even 1 mothers are not common.
Both channels are clean and sharp, I am certain this record has been played only quite lightly and has been generally well stored and carefully handled.
Nothing of any real note spoilt my pleasure when play-grading this legendary set.
It will prove difficult to find significantly better and can be strongly recommended.
As played-graded on a high-end Linn LP12 Sondek turntable with Ittok Mk II arm and Ortofon Quintet Black moving coil cartridge tracking at 2.2 grams.
Now one of the most established sellers on Ebay and still offering the finest and most accurately described and graded records I can find.
I pride myself on offering a variety of genres to keep my site as interesting as possible.
I will rarely offer any record that falls below a true Excellent grading, unless its of a certain rarity which will justify offering a lesser grade.
I try, to the best of my ability to describe as accurately and as honesty as I can all items I offer for sale with all the relevant information I can think of to help any potential bidder and collector.
You may notice I only submit records sparingly on Ebay as I Play-Grade every record I offer in their entirety also on higher-end equipment not just bits to guess a grade - visuals alone do not always tell a true or full story.
I will mention any defects or flaws no matter how small that I notice to be fair as possible to any interested collector I am very fussy and my buyers have the right to be too.
Every record I offer, whether it be a common or rare item deserves the same respect as far as I am concerned and will be treated the same - just because an item is rare does not always mean it s good.
I get just as much pleasure offering a relatively common record in stunning near mint condition as the real rare items.
All the pictures I use for your guidance are taken with a digital camera or scanned - they are NOT improved, cleaned-up or made better looking than they are with camera trickery or enhancing with digital programs.
Room light factors can make things vary sometimes, that is hard to control, especially in winter.
If any picture I take looks more flattering than the actual item for any reason, I will clearly state the fact in the advert and vice-versa.
I hope the item below is to your liking - any questions can be emailed and I will do my very best to answer you.
I am enthusiastic, and have a fair degree of knowledge about many genres and I promise quality items - bid with confidence - excellence comes as standard and so does Near Mint regularly.
Please assume all records I offer have NO jumps, sticks, warps or writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated to the contrary.
Thanks for your interest and Good luck MIKE.
Equipment Used for Play-Grading: I now play-grade ALL the records I offer unless clearly stated to the contrary on the following equipment: Deck: Linn LP12/Hercules/Cirkus with Ittok Mk II arm and Ortofon Quintet Black moving coil cartridge tracks at 2.2 grams .
Amps: Naim Supernait 2 with Project USB phono stage and Tellerium Black interconnects.
Speakers: B W 704 Floorstanding 3-way Monitors bi-wired with Tellurium Black terminated cable .
All records I offer on Ebay are cleaned on a professional VPI-17 vacuum machine before play-grading for the cleanest and best possible sound and will include a brand new lined inner and protective cover too.
Pictures taken with a Nikon D5000 SLR Digital Camera.
PACKING - THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.
What You Get: To confirm to the strict Ebay rules on shipping, I must now send ALL my packets Signed-For with NO exceptions.
Both buyers and sellers want their packets to have a safer journey and this is not a bad thing.
I now offer the fastest possible posting, often the very next day after payment is received or within two to three days maximum unless on holiday .
I only use FIRST-CLASS Mail.
The record s cover will be placed within a BRAND NEW soft protective sleeve and the actual record will be professionally cleaned on my new VPI-17 Pro vacuum system to give ultimate clean grooves and playing surfaces and the best possible looks and ultimate sound quality.
You will NOT get tired, dull looking, dust infested records inside worn and foggy covers with tatty inners from this seller and that s a promise and guarantee.
All records are posted in professional boxes NOT Mailers, these do not offer any real protection .
The record s are REMOVED from their main cover to avoid edge splits and placed within a brand new polylined inner.
The record s original inner will be included if available.
The boxes are then reinforced with at least TWO, ULTRA THICK stiffeners for maximum extra protection these are FOUR TIMES thicker than commercial stiffeners and are custom-made for oneadayrecords.
Really rare and expensive albums will even be Double Boxed if deemed necessary and possible.
When larger boxes are used, the thick record and stiffener sandwich is then thickly embedded into bubble-wrap to bulk out the record inside the box to centre the item inside to reduce the risk of damage still further.
Printed address labels are used for clarity as well as a sender label.
Customers requests or special needs for P P will be respected if at all possible but Signed-For posting is NOT an option anymore.
I do not profit on posting, better quality packaging costs, I offer probably the best-value and safest shipping possible for ultimate confidence.
The boxes and ultra thick double-wall stiffeners make a near impregnable fortress for safe shipping and this is used inland and overseas for ALL my records, not just the rare and expensive.
I will invoice any winning bidder as soon as possible after the auction ends.
My loss or damage rate is minuscule in over 14 years of Ebay trading and I consider that pretty exceptional.
The only damage rate acceptable for this seller is ZERO and I think my packets will offer just that.
It would take a vicious postman or postal service to damage these for sure.
Oneadayrecords is a MAILER-FREE ZONE they offer next-to-no-protection, and should be banned, no professional should consider using them in my opinion.
I discount of course for multiple purchases with a maximum of FIVE records per box one double can sometimes be included subject to total weight .
All postage costs are below and at the top of the listing.
NOTE: First Time Bidders: Please ask me first.
PLEASE NOTE: I now exercise my right to open a dispute after the Ebay rule of TWO days if no payment is received.
I will then cancel the dispute to end the bid, again after the mandatory FOUR days and then offer the item to the runner-up or relist.
The non-payer will also be blocked from my Ebay site as will any suspicious bids or bid withdrawals.
Small businesses need prompt payment to trade and these strict rules WILL be applied.

SOME GENERAL GUIDES TO WEAR AND CONDITIONS TO HELP YOU DECIDE My Use of Terminology: Surface Marks Superficial, usually light marks, hairlines or light scuffs that rarely sound.
Scratch a needle mark that goes below the record s surface, some will sound, some will not, my play-grade will inform.
Original a record that has been pressed with the first label design which does NOT necessarily mean a very first pressed record.
First Pressing A record that I believe or know to be a genuine very first pressed record.
I do not claim to always know for sure, and that s why I state the stamper and matrix numbers if at all possible, for those who claim to know what they all mean, the information is there for the collector to decide.
I prefer to use terms like Early Copy rather than First Pressing if I am not totally sure.
Surface Sound Mild, light sound, usually light crackle or similar.
Distortion Break up of the actual sound caused by groove wear or damage from a chipped stylus the most undesirable form of unwanted sound, vintage mono records were the most prone to this happening but not exclusively so.
The symptoms of distortion are high frequency clipping, moderate constant crackle or an echo type sound quality.
Violin, piano and vocals are most prone to groove-wear distortion.
Feathering Fraying or softening of the entry edge of a cover.
Covers with feathered entrance edges are more likely to have had the actual record inserted and removed more than a non-feathered, sharp-edged cover which are always far more attractive.
Set Off, actually a printer s term for dark ink leaving mild residue on pale or white ink when rested upon.
e.g.
when a gatefold cover has black ink closed against white, this can leave some black residue on the pale area this is mostly unavoidable or course.
The Argument for Vinyl Original sound and mix mono mixes are rarely available on CD , high quality sound on clean copies played on a hi-end dedicated analogue system breathtaking sound , beautiful, large format covers, artwork, inserts and even full size posters etc huge investment potential, and the pleasure of owning the real thing .
