THE IDLE RACE
THE BIRTHDAY PARTY    

mono
ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESSING, ON THE DARK BLUE, LIGHT BLUE LIBERTY LABEL !!!!
THIS IS THE IDLE RACE FRONTED BY JEFF LYNNE, WHO PLAYED FROM 1966 UNTIL 1972. PREVIOUS TO JEFF LYNNE, AND FROM 1959 UNTIL 1966, THEY WERE CALLED ,THE NIGHTRIDERS. THE LP LISTED BELOW IS THE IDLE RACE AND THEIR FIRST AND DEBUT LP, RELEASED IN 1968, AND FULLY COMPLETE, AND YET ANOTHER SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESS  ::  LBL 83132  A//1   ::  LBL 83132  B//2 .

ON THE 1ST PRESS DARK BLUE AND LIGHT BLUE LIBERY LABEL  ::  LBL 83132 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, WITH INTERNAL OPENING EDGE, PRINTED AND MADE BY MacNEILL PRESS Ltd, LONDON, WITH A LOVELY SOLID SPINE, JUST A RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ALSO SOLID, JUST SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR, AND A RUB ON THE OTHER TWO CORNERS. VERY NICE LAMINATE, JUST A FEW LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND THE INTERNAL OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- .
VINYL ::  THE AUDIO PLAYS SUPERB, WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, STATIC, CRACKLE, OR CLICKS.  ALL I HEARD WAS...
SIDE 1 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 3 AND TRACK 4, SO NONE ON THE ACTUAL PLAYING AUDIO !!!! SIDE 2 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, AND THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3, WITH A COUPLE OF FAINT POPS BETWEEN TRACK 5 AND TRACK 6. SO REALLY ONLY THOSE FIVE FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 3, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SO YOU CERTAINLY WILL ENJOY THE CRISP AND CLEAR MONO AUDIO !!!!
VISUALLY ONLY UNDER BRIGHT, NOT THE GREATEST, BUT THE MAIN THING IS NOTHING FEELABLE, AND WHEN ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, SO ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN THE VINYL WILL PLAY VERY WELL, AND IT DOES, SO QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WHICH HONESTLY JUST HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT NOT AN AUDIO EFFECT, AND SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AN IMPRESSIVE  :: EX/EX+ .
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!
LABELS :: NO ISSUES, JUST SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX- .       

RARE ORIGINAL 1968 POLYLINED INNER :: WITH NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL ONE :: VG+ .
A BRILLIANT 1960'S CLASSIC PSYCHEDELIC POP LP, WITH THE AMAZING JEFF LYNNE, AND FULLY COMPLETE MONO, AND PLAYS REALLY WELL, AND AS DESCIBED ABOVE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
