Kaleidoscope - Tangerine Dream

Fontana TL 5448 UK LP 1967

This is an original UK Mono pressing in very nice overall condition It has a matt sleeve which has a slightly textured front rear flipbacks. It comes with its original polythene-lined company inner sleeve - which is in VG condition. The record is pressed on thick vinyl has 1st press 1L -1/ 2L -1 matrix stampers.

This is an extremely rare, sought after, UK Psych LP. An excellent LP too. This very rarely turns up. Don t miss out

Sleeve: Unfortunately there are a few mild issues with the sleeve. There is a small tear at the sleeve opening which has torn a small piece of the front sleeve away. It measures 3 cm in length and 1 cm at its deepest point in width. It is really quite small does not detract too much from the look of the sleeve. There is also a small bit of wear near the top sleeve opening. It measures 4 cm in length. It has caused a very small 1 cm tear at the top of it. There is also a small to mild sticker tear on the front. It measures 4.5 cm in length. Please see the photos .

Otherwise there is some light to mild rubbing wear to the top edge. There is some very light rubbing wear to the spine. There is some light to mild fading on the rear some light ringwear. The number 58 has been written on the rear too. There are no seam splits.

Overall not a bad copy. This sleeve is very prone to wear being unlaminated. VG- condition.
Vinyl: Very nice indeed Just some light sleeve rubs can be seen under a strong light. There are 5 small, very light, hairline marks. These vary in size from 1 cm to 4 cm. NEAR EX condition. I have play tested this LP in its entirety it plays Excellently overall, even Excellent in some places. There are a very few minor clicks at the end of Side 1. The labels are very nice and clean and show very mild spindle wear only.

gt gt Grading Information All grading is very strict adheres to Record Collector specifications. However, I have fine tuned them they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light play tested.
MINT Condition As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate
NEAR MINT Condition Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.
EX Condition A clean tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.
NEAR EX Condition You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
VG Condition A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won t be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won t detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP s .

I consider my postage packaging costs to be very transparent very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between 0.80 to 1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
