Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1968 UK 1st Press Vinyls Nice bright, clean and shiny as if they were just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, they look GREAT with NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes are just some light wispy sleeve traces, a few mild hairlines and age marks, and just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs only visible in direct angled light mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity Both must grade overall at the very least as Very Good minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks OR skips Only like nearly ALL records has a few light ticks here and there on rare occasions with just a small amount of clicks at the start of Revolution 9, and 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 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 as Excellent 1,2 and 3 and Very Good 4 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 top-loading numbered 0001207 laminated gatefold GL sleeve complete with original unsplit black inners, all 4 photos, spacer and poster all in absolutely fantastic condition with only minimal ageing IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is aged but NOT too bad considering the unbelievably low number and nature of these fragile sleeves NO writing, NO graffiti, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has a some usual signs of ageing such a small amount of light creases and a touch of a record imprint, some obvious creaming to the colour notorious for this sleeve and what looks like some minor horizontal tape remains near the top and bottom of the front record label promo sheet remains? should clean up with the right care , a little rubbing/whitening to part of the seams and a tear at the top of the spine which goes a little over a third of the way down it s the only thing which stops me grading this any higher, only on the outside layer of the spine - inside layer is fine , some other general signs of ageing here and there but nothing too drastic in terms of it s nature, some denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP s 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 knock it down by listing all the possible negatives I can find, but this is a GREAT sleeve and still a TRUE rarity to find one as good and IMPOSSIBLE to find one as early as this - most have been virtually destroyed and are very often just about being held together by tape, but not this one It remains structurally strong, solid, and a unique piece of rock history Must grade overall at least as Fair graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Summary : A OUTRAGEOUSLY EARLY example of this INCREDIBLY RARE classic Mono 1st Press LP with PHENOMENALLY LOW NUMBERED sleeve and complete AWESOME inserts and audio Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS UNIQUE 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

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. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
