Hi All, its been some time since I put a few records up for auction, however, I have my eye set on one of those recently issued George Harrison Gretsch’s so the thinning out of my collection has been resurrected to fund the latest itch. I’ve sorted out a few choice cuts in the collection for your consideration as well as a few ‘vinyl staples’ for the discerning new entrant to vinyl collecting. OK for your consideration we have:
Title: MY GENERATION By THE WHO
Cat No: LAT 8686
Matrix No: MG-10256-1B/MG-10257-1B
Issue: Original 1965 issue on the BRUNSWICK Label
Vinyl Condition visual: The vinyl grades as EX and very nearly EX+; the vinyl has retained most of its gloss and deep sheen, and, as such, it is a beauty to behold. The disc is very clean and showing only the minimum of careful handling marks. There are no marks to the vinyl to report, not even very light surface ones. All in all, a superb copy of this debut album.
Vinyl Condition Playback: The vinyl grades as EX; almost totally silent at the run ins, and between the tracks, however, for completeness there are a few very occasional low level/mild clicks/pops – but these are hardly detectable even with headphones on. Aside from this, the playback is EX and the music is delivered superbly. The vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable.
Label Condition: Ex; just look at the pics. Aside from a few very light spindle marks there is no damage, writing or unwanted blemishes at all to the labels. The silver script is clean and legible.
Cover Front: The front cover Grades as EX ; the laminated front is clean and undamaged and has retained its shape very well. The central image is clear and the lamination is excellent and intact. No notable creases/splits etc, just very light and mild aging as you would expect. All edges are secure; overall an excellent example of this sleeve – you would be pretty pushed to find better.
Cover Back: VG+; the unlaminated back is in VG+ condition being clean and essentially damage free. I say that as there is a very mild crease to the top right hand corner (just below MONO and Cat No). Some very minor age related rubbing/blemishes in one or two places but absolutely nothing too serious at all. The photos are very harsh, the rear is much better than it displays.
Spine: EX; the spine is intact, clean with good lamination cover. It has retained much of its squared-off look and all the text is very legible and clear. The spine at the corners retains the pinched characteristic.
Corners: EX; very mild and gentle knocks but mostly retaining sharp and square edges.
Inserts/Other: nil
Summary: If you’re a seasoned campaigner you know how difficult it is to find this LP in anything like acceptable condition. Well believe me this is a real beauty, the best I’ve seen or owned over the years; I’ve owned and cherished this copy for about 4 yrs. Good stuff like this, in this condition doesn’t present itself too often and it’s certainly going to get more difficult in the future. So here’s your chance to grab a superb copy of a much sought after WHO album. With regard to postage, all records will be posted in 12” Defenda- corrugated mailers so they should arrive as they left me. Finally, I offer a no-nonsense refund if you’re not delighted with your purchase, less postage of course, which hopefully provides you with sufficient confidence to take a shot, and if you do, good luck.
Now where’s my Boating Blazer!
