"THE CHEERFUL INSANITY OF"
GILES, GILES & FRIPP
(1968 DERAM RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING)
THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED ON A PRO-JECT RPM 4 TURNTABLE FITTED WITH AN ORTOPHON CARTRIDGE. THE VINYL HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CLEANED USING A MOTH RCM/2 RECORD CLEANING MACHINE.
GILES, GILES AND FRIPP WERE A QUIRKY LATE SIXTIES BAND FEATURING BROTHERS MICHAEL GILES ON DRUMS, PETER GILES ON BASS GUITAR, AND ROUNDED OUT BY ROBERT FRIPP ON GUITAR.
MICHAEL GILES AND ROBERT FRIPP WENT ON TO FORM THE FIRST KING CRIMSON LINE-UP. PETER GILES WOULD GO ON TO APPEAR ON THE SECOND KING CRIMSON ALBUM "IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON" IN 1970.
THIS IS A STUNNING, RARE UK FIRST PRESSING OF GILES, GILES & FRIPP’S 1968 LP "THE CHEERFUL INSANITY OF" ON THE EARLIEST RED & WHITE DERAM RECORD LABEL. THE VINYL & SLEEVE ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION – I DOUBT YOU WILL SEE A BETTER COPY OF THIS AMAZING ALBUM.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS DERAM SML 1022
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE ZAL-8330-1W / ZAL-8331-1W
THE STAMPER CODES ARE 1D / 1C
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT++ CONDITION. THERE IS A HINT OF SOME VERY MINOR RING WEAR. ON THE BACK IN THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER THERE IS A SMALL DYMO LABEL WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER USED TO CATALOGUE ALL HIS COLLECTION. THIS MAY PEEL OFF BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED. THERE ARE NO CREASES, NO SCUFFS AND NO TEARS. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL PERFECT. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR LIFTING OF THE LAMINATION NEAR THE FLUTED SPINE. THE SPINE IS STILL SQUARE AND 100% PERFECT. BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK OF THIS SLEEVE ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. I WOULD DESCRIBE THE SLEEVE AS NEAR MINT WERE IT NOT FOR THE STICKER.
THE VINYL
THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN MINT CONDITION. EVEN UNDER THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT THERE ARE NOT EVEN ANY HAIRLINE MARKS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS TRULY STUNNING WITH ABSOLUTE SILENCE ON THE RUN-IN & BETWEEN TRACKS.
THE LABELS
THE EARLY RED & WHITE DERAM LABELS ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS OR WEAR WHATSOEVER.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.
EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.
VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.
GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
