Description
Here we have a rare beast indeed, being a first-press example of a genuinely rare (and highly prized) self-titled first album from The Victims of Chance: A 1960’s style psychedelic rock band, Victims Of Chance is one of a long line of interesting obscure bands to come from the stable of the mysterious, legendary Los Angeles based musician/producer/entrepreneur known as Johnny Kitchen. The Victims Of Chance self-titled full length album, originally released in 1968, has become a rare psyche classic, and copies of the original LP sell for top dollar in collector’s circles
The disc itself is in unquestionably Excellent - as is the sleeve have taken into account the 'age-spots' on the reverse bottom. The sleeve is wholly unlaminated and the front image has suffered superficial 'rub' make associated with sitting in a record cabinet and being taken out occasionally. It stands up extremely to any of the (very few) copies I've seen around.
The inner sleeve is a disaster and needs replacing - I've dropped the price by a couple of quid with that in mind.
It's a genuine lot that's here to be sold.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
