Description
GILES, GILES and FRIPP The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp Deram (UK) SPA 423
This is an early 2nd UK Deram press (1970) of Giles, Giles and Fripp one and only release, "The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp". Forerunner to the 1st King Crimson lp. Great lp featuring the charm and humour that seemed to be lost by these gents just over a year later. EARLY 2nd press - 1st pressings of this lp are an impossible find.
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has ZAL-8330-1W and 1 K (3 o'clock / 9 o'clock) all stamped into the run-out. Side 2 has ZAL-8331-1W and 1 K (3 o'clock and 9 o'clock) all stamped into the run-out. Original and early 2nd 1970 UK Deram press.
Vinyl Visual Grade: NM with no marks worth mention (one or two faint lines). Labels show lp as having maybe one or two plays. Fairly close to archive shape. Could use a good cleaning (dusty).
Vinyl Play Grade: NM with AMAZING fidelity and about as good a play as you well find of this lp.
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ and could be higher if not for a very faint crease front left corner and some slight laminate lift lower bottom front right corner.
Comes with original UK Deram printed poly-lined inner (in NM shape). LP is housed in an Audiophile style thin rice-plastic inner.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.
Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).
I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
