Sleeve Condition.

The 1st print enveloped sleeve with the blue text is in superb condition!  There are no stains, splits or writing to mention!  All the edges are straight and crisp with only the very mildest shelf wear to corners.  The colours are as vibrant as they were on the day of release.  There are some slight nicks on the top opening edge!  It’s a really nice clean example that won’t disappoint!

Excellent

Inner Condition.

The 1st press white inner with blue text is in Splendid condition, with no writing, stains or tears to mention!  All the edges are nice and sharp and it holds the record perfectly as it should!  Just some mild creasing and slight discolouring to mention!! 

Excellent

Label Condition.

The first press Track blue and white labels are in fantastic condition.  There are no rips, rubbing, writing or stains to mention.  There is no centre hole damage at all.  Even under a strong light, only some minor invisible spindle lines can be seen!  It’s clear that this record has been handled with care for the last 45 years!

Excellent +

Vinyl Visual Condition.

The record itself looks beautiful!  It still retains its factory shine and lustre with no scratches or warping at all.  Under a strong halogen bulb only a few random wispy hairlines can be seen!  It’s a really nice clean example!

Excellent

Vinyl Audio Condition.

The record sounded great from start to finish.  The sound was sharp and clear with no distortion, jumps or skips at all!  I heard only a single click throughout but it’s hard to know if that’s the recording!  The band was clearly separable by the ear on all frequencies! This is how a first press should be heard! There was some minor static on the run-in that I’m sure a deep clean could remove, but it was barely noticeable.  Even on full volume it sounded amazing!

Excellent +

So there we have it.  A superb first press complete with rare poster and inserts!

A Rare Who 1st Press Gem!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy Bidding

All my records will be sent first class, signed for and insured to their value!

I will package the records with extreme care, with hard stiffeners and the vinyl separate to the sleeve and inner, all housed in a Defenda lock tab record box envelope.

 I try to be as honest as I can in my descriptions, taking as many pictures as possible, but if you don’t feel happy with your purchase, I offer no quibble full refunds as soon as the record is sent back.  I will not give partial refunds however, only full.  I think this is fair, Thanks!

Over the next month I will be listing my Fathers record collection.  He was an avid collector who amassed a pretty huge collection that I will be offering all at 99p starts! I shall be listing No Emi Harvests, 1st press Beatles, Pink Islands and loads of other rarities!

  They are mostly in near perfect condition with my dad putting most on tape in the 80’s, then once again onto CD in the 90’s, and since they have been sat unplayed and always in plastic covers! , so stay tuned if you’re interested in some good old rare wax!
