Description
THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING OF THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK ELEKTRA STEREO ISSUE OF THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND’S THIRD LP “THE HANGMAN’S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER” AND IS SERIOUSLY RARE IN THIS CONDITION! COPIES OF THIS LP TENDED TO GET PLAYED TO DEATH AND WERE NOT VERY WELL LOOKED AFTER, SO IT IS CONSEQUENTLY HARD TO FIND IN ANYTHING APPROACHING THIS CONDITION! THE VINYL IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE COVER IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION. THE INSERT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. DONT MISS THIS VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY!
The Catalogue Number is EUKS 7258 on the UK ELEKTRA label. Matrix numbers are A1 and B1.
The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see picture) with NO wear, NO writing, and ONLY THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF spindle marks. I BOUGHT THIS RECORD SHORTLY AFTER IT CAME OUT AND IT HAS RARELY BEEN PLAYED AND THEN ONLY ON TOP QUALITY HI-FI EQUIPMENT. The vinyl is in SUPERB condition with NO scratches, NO scuff marks and NO signs of wear. THE RECORD STILL RETAINS EVERY BIT OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK! The record sounds as STUNNING as the visual! It plays with CRYSTAL CLEAR UNDISTORTED SOUND, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle! The record plays SUPERBLY with ZERO DISTORTION! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way! Brilliant!!
The cover is in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures)! It has NO wear to the spine but the laminate, although still in place, has come away slightly from the cardboard for about three quarters of the length of the spine. There is NO wear to the corners of the front cover. The opening edges are straight with NO edgewear. The front cover has a vertical 3cm thumb crease by Mike’s left knee and a 2cm vertical thumb crease in the blue area to the right of Mike’s left sleeve. There is a 3.5cm diagonal crease starting 7.5 cm to the left of the top right corner of the front cover. Apart from that, there are NO creases to the front cover. There is GENERAL LIGHT rubbing to the front cover. There is NO ringwear, and NO writing.
There is MINIMAL wear to the EXTREME bottom right corner of the back cover. There is a vertical 3cm thumb crease in the middle of the back cover (hard to see unless you look carefully). Like the front cover, it has NO wear to the spine but the laminate, although still in place, has come away slightly from the cardboard for about three quarters of the length of the spine. Apart from that, there are NO blemishes at all to the back cover – it essentially retains ALL of its initial glossy look. The cover looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOR ITS AGE!
THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE AND LEGENDARY UK LP TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION! DONT MISS OUT!
I TRY TO MAKE MY DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CONDITION OF ITEMS VERY PRECISE.
SEE FEEDBACK FROM MY RECENT BUYERS AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
For packaging I use strong record boxes with extra stiffeners to stop damage and bends to the cover. All LPs are sent out with the record packed separately from the original cover to stop splits and damage to the cover.
