Description

Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

THE MASCOTS
Ellpeee
Mega Rare Original Swedish / Scandinavian Decca Stereo 1st Press!

This listing is for an original Swedish Decca 1st pressing of the incredible followup LP by the Mascots, titled 'Ellpee'.

The Mascots were a Swedish pop group that had an awesome freakbeat sound and were heavily inspired by the British Pop and Beatles / Merseybeat sound. They only ever released two albums - Your Mascots and Ellpee. They were offered a record deal in England in 1966 which could have made them huge, but part of the deal was to change their names to 'The Swedish Design', which they refused.

The Decca labels are red with gold Decca logo and silver print, and feature the 'Hamburg' rimtext. However, the NCB on the label is a Scandinavian prefix.

Today the Mascot's two albums are extremely rare and are highly collectible. It is extremely difficult to find an original, Scandinavian Decca press of this LP!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

Title The Mascots - Ellpee Year of Release 1966 Catalogue Number SKL 4806 Label Red Decca with Gold Decca logo and silver print Tax Code on Disc - Sleeve Manufacturer AB Roos Tryckerier Side 1 Matrix Number DSC 1136 Side 2 Matrix Number DSC 1137 Side 1 Stampers - Side 2 Stampers - Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in VG- condition. The sleeve is holding up okay but does have some light, general wear and creasing as you can see in the photos below. The mouth has a few little tears and has worn a little, but as far as damage goes that's pretty much it - no splits or tears elsewhere. Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition
 (VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG- condition. The playing surface, overall, has a nice shine to it. There is, however, quite a bit of light scuffing and marking along with a few slightly heavier looking marks. However, there is nothing deep or nasty looking. Label Condition The labels are in EX condition. The labels are very clean with bright text and no writing, tears etc. There's just a little, light spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole.


All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.

The P+P costs given on each auction are for that auction only. If you win more than one auction please wait until I've
sent you out an amended invoice to combine postage.

All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.

My Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
