LABEL

The pale blue Capitol label with silver text

VINYL TYPE

Seriously thin and rigid with large centre hole

VINYL CONDITION

There are very few signs of age or use save for a few faint paper scuffs and light marks. All over it displays a nice clean and well looked after appearance. The large centre means we can’t see the spindle area but still it’s clear that this disc has only ever been played a little. The side ‘b’ label has a little bit of sticker residue. Overall, despite showing clear signs of use, this collectable 7” EP is still well worth a strong grading of Very Good.

SOUND

The very few visible light paper scuffs and light marks are essentially non-sounding apart from a few of those inevitable pops and a little light surface noise; these do not detract from the sound of the music. There are no bad scratches and no manufacturer’s faults in the vinyl. Overall the sound is exceptionally good, especially given the age!

COVER TYPE

Paste on picture sleeve on seriously thick card with side opening

COVER CONDITION

This original EP picture sleeve has managed to maintain a nice clean look and can grade as at least a Very Good if not something even better! The whole sleeve has remained fully intact and displays no areas of age or abuse. There are some light and general creases and a very small amount of scuffing to the edges! There is absolutely no development of ring-wear. The previous owner wrote a very small number on the front cover. All in all, still a great looking picture sleeve.

FRUIT TREE

This is my new Ebay outlet for rare and classic vinyl artefacts in the fields of Rock, Garage Rock, Psych, Folk, Acid Folk, Indie-Alt, Singer-Songwriter, real-deal country, rock’n’roll & doo-wop and anything that’s cool and scarce on round wax! I have a particular emphasis on the period 1966-1972 and a fondness for the Island, Harvest, Immediate, Vertigo, Charisma and Transatlantic labels, particularly from the period specified above but also on other smaller obscure labels and the cool later stuff you’ll find at places like 4AD too! I’m basically on a perpetual voyage of discovery, as you are I should think if you’ve read this far, and it’s always a case of anything unusual, weird and wonderful considered!

I strongly believe that any great music from the 60s and 70s was made for vinyl and simply has to be heard this way; it’s the format the music was made for and the difference in sound to an original vinyl pressing to a CD issue is often astounding! I take this vinyl affection through to the best new music as well, and to this day prefer to hear a great new album on a vinyl pressing if one is available. To this end, Fruit Tree Records on Ebay will from time to time unearth newer vinyl treasures as well as vintage ones for your delight.

I will always play grade my records and endeavour to describe them with 100% accuracy so that you know everything you need to know; there’s nothing to hide so please e-mail me any questions. I know from my years of collecting how important a detailed description is when buying over the internet. I shall offer a money back guarantee on any legitimate complaint, this will only be refused if the buyer didn’t read something I clearly stated in the description or simply decides they don’t like the music. Finally, I hope you find something through my Ebay portal that you like.
