Description
ATTENTION THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP AND 1960s BRITISH BEAT GROUPS COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) ESSENTIAL ALBUM BY THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP:"AUTUMN '66". NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE! MOST BUYING MONO LPs IN 1966 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY. THIS EXAMPLE DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER! THIS COPY HAS HAD CAREFUL USE IN NEARLY 50 YEARS AS WELL AS A CLEAN LAMINATED FRONT +FLIPBACK COVER WITH A POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP!
ISSUED ON THE VERY THICK 100% FLAT VINYL PHILIPS PRESSED FONTANA LABELS: TL 5359 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1L/2L MATRIXES. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1966 MONO COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE ON THE QUIETER TRACKS BUT NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! THE 1966 MONO PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER STEREO REPRESSINGS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION! MOST WOULD GLADLY STATE EXCELLENT! THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! THE COVER HAS SOME MINOR STAINING AT THE BACK AND A FEW SMALL CREASES-MOSTLY NEAR THE EDGES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE 1960s RARE LPs FROM ME FOR AUCTION ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW SO CHECK THEM OUT!.
PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
