Description
(Columbia Records DB 7975 UK 7" Single 1966)
This is a 1966 UK 1st pressing of this 7" Single. It is in great overall condition too! The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has black & silver "Columbia" labels. These have the "Sold in UK..." text on them. There is an embossed "KT" company tax code on the A-side label. The record has 1st press 7XCA 30587-1 and 7XCA 30588-1 matrix numbers. It comes complete with its original generic green company "Columbia" paper sleeve. A classic mid 1960's UK Mod-Jazz/ Beat 7" Single. Hard to find in this very nice & clean condition.
Vinyl: There is a light 2 cm hairline surface mark on the B-side. This is not too noticeable under a strong light. Otherwise, there are some light, very mild or very minor surface paper sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The original paper sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor feint, or dull. surface marks on some areas.These, again, are hardly visible under a strong light. Overall, Very NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The Labels are in Very Near Excellent condition and show mild or very mild spindle wear only.
The original company "Columbia" paper sleeve is in Near Excellent condition. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear & fading. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this single in its entirety. The A-side plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. The B-side plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent. There is some light, mild or very mild crackle noticeable in some quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. Overall, a very decent audio copy!
I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper sleeve. This will protect the original picture sleeve from any damage during the shipping process.
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = A perfect copy! Almost impossible to find like this.
NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, There may be a very few, very light paper surface sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. The sleeve is virtually perfect - there is very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows minimal defects. There will be light, very mild or very minor surface sleeve rubs. There will be no scratches. The cover will be very nice & clean with maybe minimal creasing, ringwear or edge rubbing wear etc...
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times, but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only. The sleeve may have light, mild or very mild creasing,ringwear & very mild rubbing wear to the edges etc.... Overall, it will be a very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
Very Good Condition = A well played but very decent overall copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears etc... The record will not be trashed!!
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any question.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
