Description

 PLEASE NOTE - POSTAGE TO THE UK IS NOT 4.00 , DO NOT SEND PAYMENT BEFORE RECEIVING AN INVOICE FROM ME.

Deep purple: Made in Japan PURPLE TPSP 351  UK

  

 Original first pressing with „The Grammophone Co. Ltd.” text on the labels and 1-U matrix endings  but without the „Made in Great Britain” text at the 4 o’ clock position,also GROOVED LABELS as opposed to the usual EMI un-grooved ones, which makes people believe that this in fact is a very RARE CONTRACT pressing…

 

  

cover:  fully-laminated Garrod & Lofthouse  cover,superb  clean EX++ with few LIGHT creases, LIGHT impressions of the records on front and back …the spine is  totally square,un-crushed,clean  and really nice  with ALL the  text clearly visible on it….opening edges are nice,straight  and sharp,NO signs of heavy use at all ..inside is nice and clean with light wear/discolouration on the bottom part....

 

record,visual:   superb clean  EX+,EX-,EX+ and EX with LIGHT hairlines caused by the paper inner sleeve,NO scratches whatsoever.. 

 

 

labels: The labels on both sides carry the usual 1st issue „The Grammophone Co.Ltd. „ text ( that was  changed to EMI RECORDS on later pressings) and the first issue matrixes as follows:
TPS 3511 A-1U (etched "PORKY")
TPS 3511 B-1U (etched "DELTA PORK")
TPS 3512 A-1U (etched "PECKO")
TPS 3512 B-1U (etched "PECKIE")

No writings,tears or any other damages..

 

 

  Gradings: I ALWAYS TRY TO DO MY BEST IN GIVING ACCURATE,HONEST AND VERY STRICT GRADINGS BY USING THE FOLLOWING TERMS:
 
MINT
EX (EXCELLENT)
VG ( VERY GOOD)
 
I ALSO USE  PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) IF THE CONDITION FALLS BETWEEN TWO GRADES.
VINYL WILL FIRST BE INSPECTED VISUALLY VERY CAREFULLY UNDER STRONG LIGHT..I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE RECORD  FROM START TO END ( WHO DOES ? ) - HOWEVER,I  TESTPLAY SKIPPING THROUGH  TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES ( INCLUDING RUN-IN,RUN-OUT GROOVES AND THE SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS ) TO CHECK THE OVERALL PLAYBACK  QUALITY.

IN THE UNLIKELY CASE THAT YOU SHOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING/DESCRIPTION PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK-I’M SURE THAT WE CAN CLEAR OUT EVERY PROBLEM IN A KIND WAY!
 
PLEASE NOTE:ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T  HEAR ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS DURING THE TESTPLAY ON MY SYSTEM AND HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL,I CAN’T GUARANTEE IT WILL PLAY THE SAME WAY ON YOUR SYSTEM -YOU MIGHT HEAR THE ODD STATICK TICK/POP THAT I DIDN’T !!!
