Labels :
Classic UK 1st Press Unboxed Decca labels Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn t had too much play over the years at all AWESOME for a 50 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Very Good
Record : Visual -
Spectacular Original 1969 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks 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 Must grade overall at the 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 BRILLIANTLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks OR skips Only like pretty much ALL records has just a mere touch of the lightest crackle in few and far between places, a few light ticks here and there on rare occasions, and just a hint of low level ultra light bluesman s fag atmospheric static in few and far between places 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 FANTASTIC for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at the 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
Sleeve :
Original UK 1st press front laminated Robert Stace sleeve with unsplit red mono inner and original earliest mono/stereo credit lyric insert fantastic ultra clean condition - barely left the sleeve with NO writing, staining, folding or graffiti whatsoever AWESOME IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn, worn, and stained due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT bad at all, and looks BRILLIANT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO stains, NO graffiti, NO splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years Only has some minor signs of ageing such as some laminate creasing and a touch of a record imprint, only some minor ageing to the unlaminated back such as a little ink rubbing here and there nothing drastic AT ALL, truly minimal compared to most - absolutely NO nasty marks, writing, staining OR graffiti whatsoever , a touch of denting to the four corners which virtually all vintage sleeves have, but that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing all the most minor negatives I can see, but this remains a BRILLIANT sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as awesome as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit, and 100 readable Must grade overall at the 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

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
