Beautiful Original UK 1967 **Near Mint Un-Played** Thick & Chunky Atlantic *Mono* 1st Pressing of the Self-Titled Classic by Vanilla Fudge!!! 1st Press A1//B1 Matrix w/ Correct 1st Press 'Plum/Orange' Atlantic Labels & 1st Issue Front Laminated E. J. Day Sleeve! You Will Not Find a More Pristine UK 1st Pressing!!!

Here is another gem from my own mostly Nr Mint personal collection (which I am selling off gradually to lessen the pain...) I have been collecting very rare vinyl for a long time now. As a collector, I have been very critical about the condition of the records I have chosen to buy over the years, and only selected the most pristine 1st pressings from all over the UK.  My collection is therefore filled with not only the rarest UK 1st pressings, but also records of the highest grade quality condition, some of the best you will probably ever come across. Sadly, all will be finding new homes in the near future. As I said, I am very strict with my grading, so when I describe a record as Nr Mint - you can rest assured that it will be a true Nr Mint record (I never grade any records as Mint because Mint does not exist in the world of vintage vinyl - in my opinion, as soon as the record has been taken home from the store it is no longer Mint!!) I hope you enjoy my listings.

You are bidding on the mega rare 1967 UK 'Plum/Orange' Atlantic Mono 1st pressing of the classic self titled album by Vanilla Fudge.  It is by far the best copy I have ever seen of this rare UK 1st pressing. I have come across a few other UK 1st press examples of this record in my time and I can say with absolute confidence that this is the most pristine example you will ever see. From its totally unblemished (not even a paper-line) pristine *Near Mint* playing surfaces to its Near Mint 1st issue front laminated 1st issue sleeve. A beautiful example of this rare record.

1st Press Matrix:

Side 1 - 587086 A//1

Side 2 -  587086 B//1

The Classic 1st press Plum/Orange Atlantic centre labels are in pristine Near Mint condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Grubbyness, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! Importantly, there are NO traces of spindle lines at all!!! It has been played only once, very lightly on my high grade Mitchell turntable so, to all intents and purposes, it is as good as un-played!!! The gramophone rims containing the all-important 1st press Matrix are also obviously Mint!!!

As described above - the vinyl itself is in Stunning **Near Mint** condition!!! NO Hairlines, NO Scratches, No Scuffing, NO Groovewear, NO warping, in fact - NO blemishes of any kind - maybe just one or two paperlines!!!  I am very pleased to state that it plays as good as it looks with NO Crackle, NO Pops, NO Jumps, NO Skips and NO hissing!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I am describing a 40++ year old record here, not one made last week!!! I can say nothing else about this chunky 1st press record - it's absolutely perfect and Near Mint!!! This record plays Near Mint - the best you will ever hear!!! It is perfectly quiet between tracks with NO hissing, virtually NO crackling and obviously NO jumps and NO pops etc!!! The only static you hear is a tiny bit on the run-ins. It is the best example of this album I have ever heard!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! The thick quality pressed chunky 1960's vinyl looks and feels great (it is super heavy!).

The classic 1st press thickly laminated E. J. Day sleeve is also in superb condition!!! These 1st press sleeves always turn up totally worn out-looking nowadays with severe damage, especially to the unprotected edges and, being predominantly white, they always show discolouration. Suffice to say, they have not remained in prime condition over the years. THIS SLEEVE IS DIFFERENT!! It is in superb condition with perfectly preserved laminate, NO Tears, NO Stains, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind - It is completely blemish free!!! The laminate retains all its beautiful glossy sheen and NO cracking and NO Lifting anywhere!!! The spine is simply MINT with perfectly legible spine text and a beautiful unbroken laminate sheen!!! It easily grades as Excellent+!!! Comes complete with original poly-lined windowed sleeve which is in *Near Mint* condition!!! A beautiful record!

Postage ... Hazey Jane has absolutely NO hidden surcharges; the price you win is the price you pay, just add the relevant postage, it's as simple as that! We always combine postage so if you win more than 1 auction you save money on postage costs! We will only ship to non-UK countries via Airmail - we do not use surface mail, it is way too slow and thus increases the risk of records being damaged during transit.

A little note about insurance - Please read carefully... If the value of your record(s) is over £30, your invoice will include an insured option. Being the responsible adults you are, it is entirely up to you to take this up  - we strongly advise you to do this but will not hassle you about it. You either add the required insurance or you don't. If you do add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will get a refund. If you don't add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will not get a refund. Can we be any clearer? I think not.

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards.  If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
