SYD BARRETT The Madcap Laughs ORIG UK PSYCH LP NO EMI

VERY RARE uk ORIGINAL PRESSING ON HARVEST FROM LEGENDARY PSYCH MASTER SYD BARRETT. No EMI logo on labels!.

STILL IN COLLECTABLE CONDITION

VISUAL: The vinyl retains some original sheen and looks VG+ in normal light, with some noticeable hairlines and scuffs, mainly to side 2, nothing feelable. Under harsh bulb there are numerous light surface marks and scuffs indicating the LP has been played fairly well played. Visually Side One looks VG+ and Side Two looks VG.

AUDIO: Playback is in general EXCELLENT although there are moments of light crackle and the odd pop or click. I'd grade playback as at least VG+ on Side One, a lot of Side One plays EX and at least VG on Side Two where there is more in the way of crackle and occasional pops. The crackle is more prominent for example on "Golden Hair" but still no real problems throughout the side. All in all though a decent listenable copy - there is no loud noise to spoil listening and certainly no skips or jumps.

I am going to strictly grade the LP as VG due to some visible marks on Side Two, it has been fairly well played but it plays much better than you would reasonably expect from a VG copy.

The Laminated sleeve shows some wear around the openings, see picture. Also the some indentation marks to rear laminate. Inside the gatefold are unfortunately two tears where it looks like the inside has been stuck together at some point.

I am very happy to grade this sleeve VG- / vinyl VG plays VG+. I'm sure you will be pleased with the grading on this copy. In summary, not mint but certainly not trashed and a decent player. Check pictures below. Full moey back guarantee if not satisfied.

Please be aware that buyers from non EU countries may possibly be liable to pay customs charges, I have no control over this. I always enter the final auction price on customs documents, please do not ask me to send item as "gift".

Grading is by UK Record Collector magazine standards with an additional + where needed for inbetween grade items. Please note we DO NOT USE MINT grade, as used items very seldom are Mint. Therefore our grading system is as follows:

NM/EX+ Looks almost perfect, perhaps unplayed or played a just a handful or times 

EX Great Clean Copy with possibly very light mark or two not affecting play at all

VG+ Some noticeable minor marks but should play really well

VG Obviously well played with some light scratches / marks but should be a decent listen with no overiding noise - should be ok for home listening or DJing but not a mint looking copy for sure.

G Very well used, probably looks worn / marked, plays with possibly some distorton / crackle / clicks but still listenable and absolutely no jumps or skips

We won't bother to list any items Graded As Fair or Poor therefore all of our records should play without jumps - if you are unfortunate enough to get a record that does jump please return for a full refund.

RETURNS:

If you are unhappy with your item in anyway please get in touch with us - we will put it right! Remember grading is sometimes done visually and occasionally records don't sound as good as they look so we can get it wrong sometimes. We have a simple rule regarding returns - if you are not happy send it back for a full refund!
