JEFF BECK - Beck Ola

Original UK 1st Press LP

Columbia (SCX 6351)

 Rare uk original on the black Columbia label with silver print and white Columbia and EMI logo's. Housed in a non laminated flipback sleeve. Comes with the correct EMI advertising inner sleeve. Not only is this an outstanding copy, it also has 1G mothers and stampers on both sides making it the very earliest pressing possible. Incredibly tough to find in this wonderful condition.

The sleeve is in an outstanding excellent + condition. There are no splits, no tears, no writing and no bends. There is some slight wear to the bottom front of the sleeve opening, otherwise there really is only the slightest of light wear. A wonderful example.

Comes with the correct EMI advertising inner sleeve.

Both labels are in near mint condition. There is no spindle wear and just a couple of very faint spider marks. Has obviously only been played very few times.

Matrix:

1) YAX 3870-1 (IG)

2) YAX 3871-1 (1G)

The record is in a wonderful near mint condition with its original gloss sheen and looks to have hardly ever been played. Would be near impossible to upgrade and especially as a 1G/1G first press.

Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.

All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.

Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
