Description
ATTENTION THE WHO AND MOD/BRITISH BEAT GROUP COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE ALBUM: "DIRECT HITS" WITH THE POLYDOR PRESSED TRACK LABELS:612 006 WITH VERY THICK VINYL AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A 1/B 1 MATRIXES!
BY 1968,EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO RECORDS WITH FEWER MONO COPIES MADE AND SOLD!
THIS LP WAS NOT ISSUED IN THE USA AND IT HAS BEEN STATED IN THE PAST THAT THIS WAS A MAIL ORDER ONLY ISSUE WHICH IS POSSIBLE AS IT FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK
LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK MONO COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT CAUSING DISTORTION AND MAJOR WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME SLIGHT USE WITH A FEW ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS ON ONE SIDE BUT IT PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,NO CLICKS, NO STICKS OR JUMPS. THE DISC IS VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO NEAR MINT!.
HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS" CREDIT.
THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER IS PRINTED BY ERNEST J.DAY LTD AND HAS A FEW CREASES,SOME ULTRA FAINT RING WEAR STAINING BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,NO RIPS OR REPAIRS.
PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE INNER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.
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!!!!
