Description
UP FOR AUCTION IS A RARE 1ST US PRESSING OF THE DEEP PURPLE LP - SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE. IT WAS RELEASED IN 1968 ON TETRAGRAMMATON RECORDS, T-102. THIS IS A US PRESSING BUT THE JACKET WAS MADE IN CANADA! THE ALBUM IS STILL SEALED IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP!!
THIS IS THE ONLY SEALED ORIGINAL PRESSING ON EBAY WITH A CANADIAN COVER!
CONDITION:
THE RECORD IS SEALED AND PRESUMED TO BE IN MINT CONDITION!
THE COVER IS SEALED IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP AND IS IN EXCELLENT (EX) CONDITION WITH LITTLE VISIBLE WEAR! THERE IS A SMALL HOLE IN THE SHRINK ON THE FRONT COVER NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE LAST S IN THE WORD SHADES AND ONE IN APPROXIMATELY THE SAME PLACE ON THE BACK COVER. THE ONLY OTHER BREAK IN THE SHRINK THAT I CAN DETECT IS A 1/4 INCH BREAK IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER WHERE THERE IS SOME MINOR EDGE/CORNER WEAR. THERE IS ALSO RESIDUE ON THE SHRINK, PRESUMABLY FROM A STICKER, ON THE FRONT COVER JUST RIGHT OF THE SMALL HOLE IN THE SHRINK.
ALL ITEMS ARE PACKAGED CAREFULLY WITH BUBBLE WRAP AND STURDY CARDBOARD.
PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS!
GRADING SCALE:
I GRADE MY RECORDS HONESTLY AND CONSERVATIVELY!
There is no Mint grade as it does not exist. Even a sealed record can have minor flaws!
Near mint (NM) - Record looks like it was just opened, unplayed. No visual or audible flaws.
Near mint minus (NM-) - Records is near perfect with maybe a very light scuff or two.
Excellent (EX) - Record is very nice and looks seldom played. There may be a few very light scuffs.
Little to no surface noise should be present on playback.
Very Good Plus (VG+) - Record is in pretty nice shape and should play with only light noise, mostly noticeable between tracks.
There may be some light scuffs and a few light surface scratches visible.
Very Good (VG) - Record has been well played.
It should play without skipping or sticking but with a significant amount of noise (hiss, pops, crackle, etc).
Good (G) - Record should play through but will more than likely have a high noise level.
Slight skips are acceptable. Visually the record will most likely have a lot of scuffs and surface marks.
Poor (P) - Record may not be playable. If so, there will mostly likely be a high noise level throughout.
Visually the record is obviously damaged, warped, very scratched or possibly cracked.
