Details:- From my own personal collection - original 1966 UK MONO1st pressing of Small Faces, their debut LP. Released on the Decca label with unboxed logo, catalogue no. LK 4790. The record is housed in the original front laminated sleeve by James Upton and the original Decca 'red mono' poly-lined inner sleeve.

Matrix numbers: XARL-7217-5A & XARL-7218-4A

The 'KT' purchase tax code is also present in both run-outs

Stamper codes: 2,1/SU & 1/G

track list - shake / come on children / you better belive it / it's too late / one night stand / what'cha gonna do about it / sorry she's mine / own up / you need loving / don't stop what you are doing / e too d / sha la la la lee

Vinyl Condition:- VG visually, VG+ sound quality. Clean shiny vinly with a few hairlines and surface. Full test played produced very good+ sound quality, not a trashed VG at all. There is some light surface noise and the odd click but this is mainly heard between tracks, during the tracks it's much less noticable and in the most part not at all. So a very decent and enjoyable listen of a rare and iconic 60's album

Sleeve Condition:- VG. The front is in very good shape and the laminate still retains a nice shine. There are some fine feathered creases around the edges and down the spine and two corners have a mild crease. There is a tiny amount of wear on the corners but this is very light. On the back there are creases on the corners and and down the opening edge. There is some partial ringwear, some browning and general marks. There is also the original owners name and address witten on the back in pen. The spine is crisp and fully readable with no splits. There are also no splits or serious wear on the top and bottom edges

Label Condition:- VG Nice clean labels with a few spindle marks.

 Grading Abbreviations

Grading below is as stated from UK Record Collector. I also use +/- for records that fall somewhere between a grade

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
