Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90%+ of the LP's i've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, i've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, i'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!

I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS i've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and i'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

PHENOMENAL CONDITION!!! THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! ALL OF DYLAN'S 1ST PRESS "33" LABELLED LP'S ARE NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT TO FIND AS 1ST PRESSES, BUT TO FIND ONE IN SUCH STUNNING BARELY PLAYED CONDITION IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE!!! THE SOUND IS UTTERLY OUTRAGEOUS!!! Don't miss out on this magnificent piece of history, bid now!!!

Dylan goes psychedelic!!! A true day of release mono "33" with A1 B1 C1 D1 matrixes Blonde On Blonde? Now HERE is a rarity!!! Dylan UK 1st Presses of this classic are simply IMPOSSIBLY rare (only available for literally mere weeks before being switched to the 33 1/3 labels), especially in STUNNING condition like this!!! Just try finding another!!!

Unfortunately I don't have the time to write about the phenomenal brilliance of this LP (I really wish I did), but all you need to know is that it's EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME EVER, IT CONTAINS MAGIC!!! That's about all I can do right now. You really don't want to miss out on this LP, it's a TRUE classic!!! And this punchy mono mix is exceptionally special!!! The final album in the Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited trilogy of unrivalled brilliance, and it truly is Dylan at his very best!!!

Labels : 

Classic UK 1st Press textured "33" Orange CBS labels!!! All sides are AMAZING with NO signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has a tiny amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this has barely had much play at all!!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE for a 46 year old record!!! All must grade overall at least as Excellent++!!!

Record : Visual - 

Original UK 1966 1st Press laminated flipback gatefold sleeve complete with original advertisement inners (TOTALLY unsplit - unheard of)!!! 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 NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO tears, NO graffiti, NO really bad marks AT ALL, NO seam splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has a few minor signs of ageing such as just a miniscule amount of ultra light tiny creases and a mere hint of a record imprint, some very minor surface indents from where it has sat between sleeves over the years (next to nothing), some mild dulling and ageing to the unlaminated flipback tips on the inside (the main faces/photographs are brilliant white with virtually no ageing whatsoever), a touch of denting 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 bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this is a FANTASTIC sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as incredible 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 very, very least as Excellent minus!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : An utterly OUTRAGEOUS example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE Mono 1st Press of possibly his most celebrated LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but PHENOMENALLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS SENSATIONALLY MAGNIFICENT 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!
