ATTENTION MARC BOLAN,TYRANNOSAURUS REX,1960s BRITISH PROGRESSIVE/PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS OF 1960s LPs!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 STEREO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) ESSENTIAL DEBUT ALBUM BY TYRANNOSAURUS REX(FEATURING MARC BOLAN):"MY PEOPLE WERE FAIR AND HAD SKY IN THEIR HAIR". IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING EXCELLENT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST STEREO COPIES I HAVE FOUND AND HEARD IN YEARS AS A DEALER!
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE WITH IT'S USUALLY MISSING AND VERY LIMITED EDITION LYRIC SHEET! MOST BUYING LPs IN 1968 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY INDEED! INFACT MANY STEREO COPIES WERE DAMAGED ON MONO ONLY EQUIPMENT. 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 IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN NEARLY 48 YEARS AS WELL AS A CLEAN LYRIC SHEET WHICH HAS CLEARLY REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 48 YEARS! THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT AND THE DATE CODE 6807(JULY 1968)DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS LP AS WELL AS A "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" INNER!
ISSUED ON THE VERY THICK 100% FLAT VINYL EMI PRESSED REGAL ZONOPHONE LABELS:SLRZ 1003 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1G/1G MATRIXES. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1968 STEREO 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 SLIGHT USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW FAINT,WISPY HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THE 1968 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REPRESSINGS. THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION! THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!
THE COVER HAS SOME STAINING AT THE BACK AND A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND SMALL INITIALS IN PEN AT THE BACK BUT NO 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 FOR SUCH A SUPERB COPY WITH MORE 1960s RARE UPGRADER STANDARD 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!!!!
Checkout my feedback of over 20,000 comments of my standards and service many from some of the world's most respected collectors and dealers.Always adding quality Records, cd's and related items to ebay several times a week. Customers from all over the world regard my ebay selections as the #1 for QUALITY,VARIETY AND SERVICE.
