1963
PARLOPHONE PMC 1202
XEX 421-1N / XEX 422-1N
AN EARLY MONO PRESSING OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM. NO ‘RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED’ ON THE LABELS, ANGUS McBEAN CREDIT IN FAR CORNER. I BELIEVE THIS MAKES IT A 3rd PRESSING AND AN EARLY YELLOW & BLACK LABEL ISSUE.
WELL USED, THE DISC HAS LOTS OF HAIRLINES AND SEVERAL SMALL SCRATCHES. NONE ARE BAD BUT A FEW CAN BE FELT WITH FINGERTIPS. BOTH CENTRE HOLES HAVE SOME WEAR. A NAME IS WRITTEN ON SIDE 2 LABEL BUT IT’S HARDLY NOTICEABLE AND CAN ONLY BE SEEN WHEN THE DISC IS HELD AT AN ANGLE UNDER LIGHT.
IT’S DURABLE 60s VINYL SO DESPITE THE SURFACE MARKS THE DISC PLAYS REMARKABLY WELL. THERE ARE A FEW TICKS BETWEEN THE TWO OPENING TRACKS AND A BIT OF LIGHT CRACKLE IN PLACES BUT THE AUDIO IS NICE AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT. SOUNDS GREAT.
THE TYPICALLY WORN COVER HAS NUMEROUS CREASES, WEAR TO EDGES AND CORNERS. SMALL INTERNAL REPAIR TO A 3cm SPLIT TO BOTTOM SEAM ADJACENT TO THE OPENING EDGE. STAINS ON THE BACK, TAPE RESIDUE. THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE SPINE AND TEXT ARE INTACT.
THE EMITEX INNER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC : VERY GOOD
AUDIO GRADING FOR DISC : VERY GOOD+
GRADING FOR COVER : VERY GOOD
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT. I DO NOT GIVE PARTIAL REFUNDS.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY 48 HOUR TRACKED DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL TRACKED FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO EASTERN EUROPE, PLEASE SEE POSTAGE EXCLUSIONS.
THE ITEM WILL BE POSTED IN THICK CARDBOARD BOX MAILER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
