ATTENTION 1960s BRITISH BEAT AND R&B COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE FIRST LP BY THE DOWNLINERS SECT: "THE SECT" WHICH INCLUDES 14 TRACKS INCLUDING SOME OF THE FINEST VERSIONS OF THE SONGS IN SIMILAR STYLE TO THE PRETTY THINGS! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS! 

THIS IS A 1ST ISSUE WITH THE BLUE/BLACK COLUMBIA LABELS THAT HAVE THE "33"IN FRONT OF THE "SX" WHICH WAS DROPPED FROM COLUMBIA LPs SHORTLY AFTER THIS ISSUE TO JUST "SX" WITH NO "33" IN FRONT! COLUMBIA 33SX 1658 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES AS WELL AS THE K T RAISED PRINT TAX CODE ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL.

 HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT "EMITEX" TRACING PAPER INNER SLEEVE!

LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK MONO COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS ONLY HAD SLIGHT AND CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES. JUST A FEW VERY FAINT AND TINY,(MOSTLY)WISPY SURFACE MARKS ON EACH SIDE VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE INDEED! IT PLAYS FANTASTIC WITH NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT+++ CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO NEAR MINT!.

THICK VINYL. SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR.

THE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO WRITING,SPLITS,RIPS,REPAIRS OR STAINING! BACK IN THE 1960s MANY DEALERS WOULD WRITE THE CATALOGUE NUMBER AND SOMETIMES THE ARTIST ON THE INNER SLEEVE-THIS ONE HAS NO WRITING WHATSOEVER-A LOVELY EXAMPLE WITH JUST A FEW CREASES.    

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE MILD STAINING AT THE BACK BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

THERE IS THE 6412 DATE CODE(DECEMBER 1964)DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP!

EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
