Description

You are bidding on an original UK 1st pressing of the Small Faces 2nd studio LP 'From The Beginning'

Mono pressing LK 4879 on original unboxed red Decca label

Label matrices XARL 7881 and XARL7882 (witten upside down above the LK4879 on the label)

Matrices in the runoff XARL-7881 8B and XARL - 7882 9A

Record itself graded as Excellent - the labels are both clean, free from any writing with only very very feint spindle marks when tilted under a bright light.

Few surface marks on the record itself but nothing that detracts from sound quality

Inner sleeve is the original poly-lined sleeve, also graded Excellent.

The Outer sleeve is laminated on the front, printed in England by Clout & Baker ltd (Laminated with Clarifoil made by British Celanese ltd)

The front of the sleeve has a few small, feint hairline creases towards the edges, the opening is a little discoloured but in great shape. Spine has a few slight creases but no splits an writing clearly visible (Band Name, Album Title and Decca Mono LK4879)

The rear of the sleeve is matt finish , slight ringwear visible which should be viewable in the pictures.

Point to note - there is a small amount of writing to the top left of the rear sleeve ( says "312 £1/7/6" - old money shop price by the look of it) - there is also what looks like a very feint stamp (says "Fountain Electrics for all your Records") but this is barely noticeable - Other than the two blemishes mentioned above I would have no hesitancy in grading this as Excellent - really is in great condition.

I appreciate that this very rare record does not come up for auction every day so have described it as accurately as possible - If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Happy to accept bids from overseas though please note postage will need to be adjusted, I always try to keep it down but if in doubt please ask for a quote.

Low starting bid on this one as I'm off-loading a load of records and they have to go - please see some of my other sales if you like this type of thing
