Welcome my friends....to the show that never ends...

Thanks for checking out my albums! I've been collecting records for more than 20 years. All things change and its pretty much time to let go of the collection. I'm sure you will find the albums I put up for auction will have some tear stains on them, I mean they will be some very decent 1st pressings, or HTF releases. Lots of Beatles, late 50's and 60's. Oh yeah, quite a few Audiophile pressings, many sealed as I bought lots of doubles (1 to play and 1 to stash away for the future).

This listing is for...

The Beatles "The Beatles & Frank Ifield On Stage". This is the original "Portrait" cover, not a reissue!!! Complete with spine print reading - England's Greatest Recording Stars The Beatles & Frank Ifield On State. Very clear print on spine and both sides of album cover. Front, lower right corner has the bench lines. Vinyl is housed in the original VJ sleeve, advertising other Vee Jay releases. Vinyl sports the colorband label, with oval Vee Jay logo. Dead wax markings for Side 1 include MR machine stamp, hand drawn triangle with the numbers 6295 next to it, hand written 64-3852, side 2  includes the MR machine stamp, hand drawn triangle, hand written 6295X, hand written 64-3853. Both sides also have hand written 3 letters URJ. Front cover is very, very clean and bright, although if held at the correct angle you can make out the slightest hint of very light ringwear along the record mouth. Back cover is still bright white, with sharp black print, no hint of ringwear. Very light bumps on the corners, no seam splits or cracking. Very light edge wear in 3 different spots, all about 1/4 inch or smaller. Cover grades a VG+++ ( as close to MN- as you can get). Vinyl is clean, with hairline scratches, visual grade is a very solid VG+ play grade is a real nice VG++. Very clean labels, with light spindle marks on both sides.
