Description
Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs.
.
On offer here is an original 1960s issue, Australian first press LP on the Parlophone label (PMCO 7525)
This is the second LP for the original Aztecs, and the first on Parlophone. I have always thought that this is the best and toughest sounding LP from Billy Thorpe's 60s output even though there are no originals included. Now this in itself is quite strange as Tony Barber is a noted songwriter and his presence has not inspired the band to include any of his songs unlike the first "split" Linda Lee LP where all the originals were his. The other point of interest is that none of Thorpie's hit singles were included on the LP suggesting that this was not a big seller at the time hence a difficult album to find nowadays (especially on the original label(. Regardless of the ghastly 007 front cover, the performance on these cuts are above average and really rock out. All killer...no filler!
Record: Vg+ (light scuffs, nothing deep or ugly)
Label: Ex
Laminated Sleeve: Ex- FOX, light RW
Not a minty, but still a nice clean copy

Vinyl
Mint minus = clean and shiny, as new.
Excellent (Ex) = overall great with only a minimum of minor scuffs or flaws. A keeper copy for sure.
Very Good (VG) = still quite acceptable with obvious scuffs and maybe some hairline scratches that may affect sound quality, or may distract slightly from overall appearance.
Good (G) = well used but still worthwhile due to rarity or desirability.
(+) plus or (-) minus may be added to indicate a bias to the next grading level
My grading's are based on visual inspection under good lighting, however I may in some instances grade an item on audio quality too. I try to grade conservatively, so if an item is described as Excellent........ then expect excellent.... not messy! Please ask a question if you require further specific details on an item.
Over the years I have been personally dissapointed many times by vinyl purchased on eBay only to find that they are two or three grades lower than described. I have been collecting music related items over thirty years.
Bid with Confidence!

PACKING
All records will be packed with vinyl disc placed securely outside of cover/sleeve to prevent any seam splitting. Recycled packing may also be used.
I do not charge handling fees. Postage costs from "greedy" Australia Post for international and local post is expensive enough without any extra rip-offs. Any slight over postmark charging will contribute towards packaging materials cost.
Thanks for looking!
