The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
(Capitol T2458 UK LP 1966)
This is a UK 1st pressing Mono LP in very nice overall condition! It has a heavyweight front laminated flipback sleeve. This has a small sized "Mono" on the front. The sleeve is printed by "Garrod & Lofthouse". It comes with its original generic company plain paper inner sleeve. The record has "rainbow rim" Capitol labels. The labels have the "Sold in UK..." text on them. The matrix numbers (& mother stampers) are T1 2458-1 (OL 2) and T2 2458-1 (OR 1). A genuine UK Mono 1st pressing of this classic mid 1960's LP. This is a very reasonable copy overall too. These are getting increasingly rare.
Sleeve: There is light, mild or more moderate rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This is not too noticeable. There is light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some minor fading to the rear sleeve. There are a couple of small & light laminate creases on the front. There are three very small (1 cm to 1.5 cm) hairline creases at the spine area. Otherwise, the spine is in excellent overall condition. There is light, very mild or very minor ringwear on a few areas. Overall, Very Good++ condition.
Vinyl: There some light, mild or very mild sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. This is on Side 1 only. Side 2 shows only light or very minor sleeve rubs on a very few areas. There is a 6 cm surface hairline mark that goes across the 1st track on Side 1. It is very light & not too noticeable under a strong light. There are a couple of very small 1 cm hairline surface rub marks on Side 1 too. Side 1 is in Very Good+ condition. Side 2 is in Excellent+ condition. Overall, a strong Very Good++ condition. The labels are in Excellent condition and show light or very mild spindle wear only. The company paper inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear, fading & creasing. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in many places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a very few quieter places. There are 3 mild clicks on one track on Side 1. There are a couple of mild clicks on one track on Side 2. Overall, an excellent audio copy!
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.
Please note that "Royal Mail" have been having problems with delays to overseas parcels from the UK. This was due to a recent cyber attack. They are now, I believe, starting to sort through their backlog of parcels. So hopefully they will fully resolve this issue very shortly. However, if the parcel situation with Royal Mail is not satisfactorily resolved, I will try and use other couriers for shipping on non UK orders where possible. I will do my utmost to ensure that your order arrives safely & in the quickest time possible. Please message me with any queries regarding this.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
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 gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LP's).
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
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 questions.
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.
