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.

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, skips, OR sticks Only like pretty much ALL records has only the very slightest crackle in the scarcest of places and only a small amount of ultra light ticks on very rare occasions, and possibly just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks, but that s truly about it The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does mostly play with a CD-like near black silence, but with that depth, bass, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1st Press vinyl EVEN most of the quiet sections Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at least as Excellent 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 original day of releae purple title sticker MIDNIGHT BLUE gatefold sleeve complete with original unsplit black inner, both posters AND both lined back Fasprint stickers all totally unused with just a minor storage crease to one sticker to show of their 45 years FANTASTIC 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 AWESOME, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO splits OR excessive wear, and still ultra strong and solid after all these years Only has a few minor signs of ultra light ageing such as only a small amount of ultra light edge creases and a mere hint of a record imprint, only some mild signs of very light ink rubbing and minor storage rubbing in few and far between places truly minimal - brilliantly unworn for this very age pronge sleeve , 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 remains a truly FANTASTIC sleeve, and it s a TRUE rarity to find one as beautifully presentable, strong, and as vibrant 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 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 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 MAGNIFICENT 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.
