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.

Spectacular Original 1973 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks AWESOME with NO nasty scratches OR nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes are just a few totally non-sounding mild cosmetic paper scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines only visible in strong angled light and only a few ULTRA light non sounding incredibly feint hairlines from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL MAGNIFICENT for a record of this age and rarity You ll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is 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 stereo seperation and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks OR skips Only like pretty much ALL records has the RAREST crackle in few and far between places and just the very RAREST isolated tick, a mere hint of low level ultra light bluesman s fag static here and these such as on some of the quieter sections like the run in grooves and between some tracks e.t.c, but it TRULY doesn t overshadow the music AT ALL I d even argue it gives it added soul And that s truly about it The vast, vast majority of the music is ultra clear and sounds ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from 1st Press UK vinyl An outstanding listen Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audiably at least as Excellent minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me Sleeve : Original UK 1973 1st Press unlaminated MIDNIGHT BLUE stickered gatefold sleeve complete with unsplit black inner, both posters only some VERY light signs of ageing such as only a few ultra mild handling signs - have clearly barely ever left the sleeve with absolutely NO tears, splits OR any sign of ever being used at all , AND both stickers OUTSTANDING uncreased and unused condition IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn with HEAVY wear and DRASTIC ink rubbing due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO graffiti OR writing, NO splits OR excessive wear, and still ultra strong and solid after all these years Only has a few signs of ageing such as a tiny amount of ultra light creases and the merest hint of a record imprint, a tiny amount of minor little age spots on the inside, only some ULTRA mild signs of the very lightest ink rubbing and ageing in places truly minimal and EASILY one of the most unworn I ve EVER seen , a few minor touches of whitening to parts of the seams from where it has sat on the shelf over the years absolutely NO splits whatsoever , a touch of denting to the four corners which basically 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 the most minor negatives I can find, but this is a truly FANTASTIC sleeve, and it s a TRUE rarity to find one as beautifully presentable, strong, vibrant and as together as this - most have been virtually destroyed, really heavily worn, or are just about being held in one piece, but not this one It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid unworn, and totally unsplit 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 FANTASTIC 100 complete example of this OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE solid triangle TRUE UK 1st Press LP Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS AWESOME AS THIS 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.
