FOR SALE IS A COPY OF THE BEATLES AND FRANK IFIELD "JOLLY WHAT (VJLP 1085)" MONO LP RELEASED ON VEE JAY RECORDS IN 1964. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM, WITH PURPLE COVER, WRITING ON THE SPINE AND FEATURING THE INFAMOUS “COPULATION” MISPRINT ON THE BACK COVER. COVER IS VG+ AND THE RECORD IS VG+/VG++. THE COVER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WOULD GRADE HIGHER EXCEPT FOR A RIP ON THE FRONT COVER (MEASURING APPROX 1" WIDE - SEE PICTURES) AND A SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER (MEASURING APPROX 3"). THERE IS ALSO A NAME WRITTEN ON THE FRONT COVER (SEE PICTURES). THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH A LIGHT AMOUNT OF SURFACE SCRATCHING. THERE IS ALSO SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT SPOTTING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD. ALSO, THE LABEL ON SIDE 2 HAS A STAIN FROM THE REMOVAL OF A PIECE OF TAPE (MEASURING APPROX 2.5" - SEE PICTURES) THIS ALSO CAUSED TWO VERY SMALL PIECES ON THE LABEL TO BE TORN FROM THE LABEL (SEE PICTURES). NONE OF THESE SLIGHT FLAWS DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS RECORD! IT IS A VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM! HAPPY BIDDING!

A NOTE ABOUT THIS ITEM:

WHEN I RECIEVED THIS RECORD, IT HAD A VERY STRONG, MUSTY SMELL TO IT. THE SMELL WAS MAINLY COMING FROM THE WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHICH I IMMEDIATELY THREW AWAY AND REPLACED. I THEN AIRED THE ALBUM COVER OUT (SEPERATE FROM THE ACTUAL RECORD) AS WELL AS SPRAYING A BIT OF AEROSOL LYSOL INTO THE COVER TO KILL ANY POTENTIAL MOLD OR MILDEW THAT COULD BE CAUSING THE SMELL. I ALSO THREW IN A FEW DRYER SHEETS FOR GOOD MEASURE. I LET THE RECORD AND THE COVER SIT SEPERATELY FOR OVER A WEEK AND I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THE RECORD HAS LOST MOST OF THE ORIGINAL MUSTY SMELL. HOWEVER, THE SMELL OF THE DRYER SHEETS IS STILL EVIDENT. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND BEFORE BIDDING! THANK YOU!



A NOTE FROM THE SELLER:

Your satisfaction is my top priority. I always combine shipping and will gladly refund anything you are not completely satisfied with. I also play test ALL my records!! BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!



BELOW I HAVE POSTED THE GRADING SYSTEM I USE FOR ALL MY RECORDS:

SEALED: Sealed at factory and never opened. Vinyl is assumed to be mint, but cannot be sure until opening.

NM: When I grade something near mint, you know the only thing that isn't perfect about it is that someone actually opened it. There could be a light scuff mark or two from taking it out of the sleeve. The jacket will look like new.

VG++: These LPs appear not to have been played more than once or twice. You can expect to see scuffs or other insignificant surface marks ­ very minor ­ that will have no effect whatsoever on the sound of the recording. Jacket will show very slight, just beginning ring wear. Maybe a little wear in the corners.

VG+: Records in this condition have obviously been played a few times, though they have been well taken care of. You can expect to see a few light marks, but they should have a minimal effect, if any at all, on the sound of the recording. Jacket will very likely show noticeble ring and edge wear and maybe one or two other minor flaws. Anything more will be noted.

VG: These albums have been played quite a few times and although not abused you will see and hear signs of use. But, the music will dominate your listening experience and you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the various vinyl nuances, such as tics, pops, crackles and hisses. You should still be able to sit back and fully enjoy listening to an album in this condition.
Jacket will have a number of flaws, such as heavy ring and seam wear, writing, small seam splits, stickers, etc.

G: I try not to go here, but if it's a rare or exceptionally great piece of music that must be heard, then I'll offer it. But the noise will be very noticeable, and you'll want to find a better copy. Still, the record will be fully playable, and you should enjoy it because it's such wonderful music. Jackets in this condition will have large seam splits, large writing, paper tears, or water damage. But it will still be fully capable of protecting the album inside.

F: I'll never go here on both the vinyl and jacket. This would have to be a case where the vinyl was playable with a bad jacket OR a real special jacket with the record not of much use. You won't see this very often!
