DECENT OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A TRUELY RARE ORIGINAL PRESSED BLUE LABLE PHILLES L.P. BY THE CRYSTALS. THIS IS THE SCARCE "STATION WAGON" COVERED "UPTOWN" L.P. FROM THE EARLY 1960'S. THIS L.P. PRE-DATES THE "HE'S A REBLE" L.P. BY A YEAR OR SO AND I THINK THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1962. THE COVER IS IN OUTSTANDING AND (ALMOST) NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH A MINOR STORAGE BEND IN THE LOWER RIGHT BOTTOM CORNER THAT DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL COLLECTIBLE APPEARANCE AT ALL. THE SPINE IS VERY NICE WITH NONE OF THE USUAL CRACKING THAT YOU ARE LIKELY TO FIND ON AN EARLY CLASSIC ROCK L.P. FROM THIS EARLY 1960'S ERA. LIKEWISE WITH BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM SEAMS, ALTHOUGH NOT "BRAND NEW". THE BACK COVER IS IMPRESSIVE BUT NOT LAMINATED AS THE FRONT COVER WITH JUST NORMAL STORAGE WEAR FOR BLACK AND WHITE UNLAMINATED PAPER WITH NO WRITING AT ALL AND PERHAPS A SMALL AGE SPOT OR TWO. IN ESSENCE, A KEEPER AND OVERALL, THIS COVER IS EASILY GRADED AS IN STRONG VG+(+) CONDITION. THE VINYL ON BOTH SIDES HAS BEEN PLAYED AND ENJOYED BUT HAS BEEN NICELY CARED FOR AND NOT ABUSED AND/OR "CHISELED" BY MIS-USE OR "BAD RECORD PLAYER" WEAR (NO INNER GROOVE CHISELING) ,AND I'VE PLAY GRADED BOTH SIDES AND THERE ARE NO "SURPRISES", SKIPS OR ANY OTHER MAJOR FLAWS SO I GRADE THIS OUT AT A REASONABLE VG(+). IT PLAYUS GREAT. IN OTHER WORDS, WHILE THE VINYL IS NOT NEAR MINT, IT PLAYS VERY, VERY NICELY AND CAN STILL BE ENJOYED FOR WHAT IT IS: A RARE ORIGINAL VINYL PRESSING THAT HAS REALLY DECENT SOUND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS, NO INNER GROOVE "CHISELING" FROM INFERIOR RECORD PLAYERS,NO MAJOR "POPS", AND FULL FIDELITY, DESPITE THE VISUAL SCUFFING TO BE FOUND ON EITHER SIDE. PLAYING WISE, IT'S A STRONG VG(+) COPY WITH A LOT OF MUSIC LEFT IN IT. THERE "IS" A NOISE FLOOR, BUT THE MASSIVE AND ORIGINAL "OVER 180 GRAM" HEAVY VINYL PRESSING IS EASY ON THE EARS, AND THE MUSIC CONTENT IS EASILY THE STRONGER OF THE TWO. BECAUSE OF THIS ACCURATE ITEM DESCRIPTION, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE SATISFIED BUT ALL SALES ARE FINYL. THIS IS ONLY THE 1ST COPY OF THIS VERY SCARCE "$600.00 TO $1,000.00" LP THAT I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS OUT IN THE "FIELD" AND IT IS EASILY WORTH (IMO) WELL OVER THE BUY IT NOW. IF YOU HAVE A COPY OF THIS WITH A BEATEN UP COVER, THIS WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT UPGRADE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
