Description
Most are confused on how to identify original pressings on the Deram label. If the cover has DERAM/LONDON printed on it then there should be at LEAST one true first pressing on the matching DERAM/LONDON label. Same goes for the SIRE/LONDON label. If it has DERAM ONLY printed on the cover then it will have a DERAM label. To be a true first pressing on the DERAM label then the STEREO printed on the label will be white in a black box like this one listed. Similar to the Uk boxed DECCA label. I cannot state for sure whether or not this boxed STEREO came out simultaneously as the DERAM/LONDON label true first press or if this is actually a second label. One thing is for certain. This is amongst the EARLIEST pressings of this lp and I have found more on the DERAM/LONDON label in my time than on this boxed stereo label. Most sellers claim these DERAM labels as being first pressings BUT THEY ARE NOT if the Stereo is not in a black box on the label. Then it is a later pressing and sometimes nothing but a much later re-issue.
Why buy from me?
1: ACCURATE REPRESENTATION and consistent professional grading

3: ALL LPS cleaned on the ULTRASONIC V8 before shipping. YES you will notice the difference, my VPI cleaner now sits in the corner gathering dust.

RECORD/ITEM FOR SALE: The Moody Blues "DAYS OF FUTURE PAST" Lp on the US Deram Records label. It is catalog #THS-1 stereo.
RECORD CONDITION/GRADE: The disc grades visually at nm/96. The labels are nm/97. The cover is ex/nm/90 with very light shelf, seam, spine, opening and corner wear along with corner dings/dents/damage and spine creasing.
GRADING SCALE: I try to give an accurate representation of the record with a numerical value. I infer that the records should play their visual grade. I have given a numerical grade to correspond to typical record grading for the approximate percentage of wear. For example, excellent/85 means the disc should have about 15% wear/marks from a NEW record. Sealed lps should be new. By looking at the photos you can find band info and song titles.
MINT = 100
NEAR MINT = 94-99
EXCELLENT/NEAR MINT =90-93 (borderline near mint)
EXCELLENT = 84-89
VG+/EXCELLENT = 80-83 (borderline excellent)
VG+ = 74-79
VG/VG+ = 70-73 (borderline vg+)
VG =64-69
Look, I know how to grade. I try to make it like you are actually holding the item in your hand and with my photos and this numerical system allows you to get the best idea of exactly what you are buying. And really, isn't that what is truly important? I point out details and don't hide them like other ebay sellers! And yes I make mistakes especially cut and paste ones. Don't hesitate to inform me of my errors. I appreciate it. I also back EVERYTHING I sell with a full money back guarantee.
SLOW! DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
$4 auction shipping means $4 for the first lp and $1 for each additional lp.
but REMEMBER ALL SHIPPING INCLUDING FREE SHIPPING is always SLOOOOOOOOOW!
I STAND BEHIND MY PRODUCT AND GRADING/PHOTOS.......I DO BACK EVERYTHING I SELL WITH A 14 DAY UNCONDITIONAL RETURN POLICY. I HUMBLY ASK HOWEVER IF YOU EVER EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM JUST EMAIL ME AND I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
Finally after 48 years in the hobby I have come to the conclusion that most lp sellers are worse than used car salesmen. If you are buying from others and they fill their listings with hype and colored lights/text that hypnotize and take far away photos along with cropped out edges and spines and other damage...... and many don't have a return policy........Then you might consider buying from me instead? I don't hide anything including my displeasure with such sellers. PLUS YOUR LPS ARE CLEANED ON THE ULTRASONIC V-8. That alone is worth the price of admission!
