Welcome to the World of MacLizardking s Music.
Greetings music lovers and welcome to another of my LP listings here on the Bay. I ve fessed-up it s now time to thin-out some of my highly prized, personal collection. They re either hard-to-find, older, book-valued treasures, or pristine, in some cases either un-played, or played only once, copies of more recent, modern classics you d always been after or in some cases, both
There will be the odd re-issue offered, if on a specialist label, but the vast majority are original, if not FIRST PRESS, jaw-droppers, and will be highlighted as such. Please note, I am not an e-Bay business, just a record enthusiast who lists accurately and packages beautifully, always as best I can, whilst keeping both quality of service and product as my prime mantras from start to finish of the process.
Here s the MacLizardking deal folks
I grade honestly and strictly to the Record Collector system, all as detailed below.
I m only parting with quality records. Some rare, some less so, but always the best I can.
If it says NM , it means NM . And, EX is still a beautiful item, both physically and aurally.
Start prices are not indicative of condition, so there s serious potential bargains to be had.
Instantly an LP arrives in my collection, it s re-housed in a high-quality polly-lined inner sleeve.
Every record is then re-housed in a high-quality, PVC outer sleeve, along with the original inner.
Every record is re-housed in the polly sleeve, outside the original prior to packaging. No seam splits
Every record is both visually and aurally inspected. The ONLY way to appoint an accurate grading.
I feedback when you pay no ransoming here You ve done your bit, so now it s up to me.
I package each item personally and with a ludicrous level of care practically a work of art
Please see the final photo within the carefully taken selection above for an example of my packaging.
I strive to provide the VERY best product and services possible, with detailed, accurate descriptions.
I do all this as I genuinely love both music and people, and eBay is a fantastic forum for both.
Please do check my feedback it even amazes me as to how kind buyer s comments can be
Peace, love and good health
MacLizardking.

Introduction and MacLizardking s Initial Review: Here s an utterly beautiful, playing copy of the legendary Revolver album. I call it this as I m sitting here giving this a full play through, whilst I write this description, and it truly sounds fantastic. A clear, bright monaural, early pressing of this 60 s classic. I ve done a lot of homework, and suspect this to be a very early, maybe even 1st, GB pressing, in it s original Patents Pending G L foldback, laminated sleeve. I have very carefully transcribed all of the available identifiers above and below to allow you to decide if this is the copy for you.
Now, please read on for the full details being both my personal description statement and accuracy of condition guarantee. Please also examine the stack of photos within the listing detail above, as I attempt to highlight every component, both positive and negative, to assist with your decision as to bid or not. As above, all listings benefit from a careful play-grade on my every-glitch-audible set-up of an Audio-Technica deck and Cambridge Audio Azure amp, all pulsing through a rather splendid pair of Spendor P6 floor-standers.

Record Collector Sleeve Gradings
M Mint : The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition
NM Near Mint : As new, perfect. No longer sealed, so cannot be considered mint .
M- Mint Minus : A notch below NM, but indicating a cover that s still in fantastic condition, though it s just possible to see it s been slid carefully in and out of a collection over the years i.e. lightest speckled lower edge ware, the odd tiny stress crease to or a whisper of fuzzing to extremities of the corner tips.
EX Excellent : The cover and packaging might have light wear and/or creasing .
VG Very Good : Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable .
G Good : The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc .
F Fair : The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced .
P Poor : The cover or contents will be badly damaged or partly missing .
Detailed Vinyl/s Labels Review.
Specific Vinyl grading: EX
Comment: Stunning slab of early GB pressed vinyl with just lightest signs of intervening 59 years
Visual: Has light hairline surface marks and one slightly worrying looking mark surface mark on side 1 that thankfully does not effect play-back. Still with n incredible depth of sheen and bible-black gloss.
Audio: Slightest background sound on play in s and a hint of top-end-sibilance just detectable in one or two places. I caught 4 tiny ticks during Eleanor Rigby, and a couple between For No One and Dr. Robert else wise just brilliant. Plays with the lively, crisp mono reproduction one would expect. A delight to listen to and dissect precisely what s going on in the mix.
Labels: Near flawless, bar localised spindle-marks on each side. I recon this was played carefully most of the time, bar one occasion where someone couldn t find the spindle properly
Record Collector Vinyl Gradings
M Mint : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
NM Near Mint : As new, perfect. No longer sealed, so cannot be considered mint . Stunning and utterly flawless.
M- Mint Minus : Still a truly beautiful vinyl, that it s just possible to spot that it s been played before. Possibly the lightest of paper-marks on the physical or even a whisper of crackle on the play-in s alone, but still practical perfection on the aural.
EX Excellent : The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality .
VG Very Good : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch .
G Good : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches
F Fair : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise it may even jump .
P Poor : The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc .
B Bad : The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection-filler .
