LOCOMOTIVE We Are Everything You See
Label:- PARLOPHONE
Catalogue: - PCS7093
On offer here is a very rare 1970 1st UK press prog psych LP by Locomotive. It comes in the original laminated flip-over sleeve by Garrord & Lofthouse. To add to the rarity it has a very noticeable error. The side two label is off centre by at least a centimetre. (see photo above). I very much doubt theres another like this given it's already very rare status.
Vinyl: - VG+ (Very clean shiny vinyl with some light surface hairline marks.
TEST PLAY. Overall excellent sound quality, crisp clear and detailed. The bass in particular sounded awesome. Must mention the following though. Side One:- This side plays as an EX. Side Two:- track 1 soft repeated click comes in after about a minute and continues until the end of this track. Track 3 had a couple of light clicks. Without these I would have graded as an EX. At the end of this side the needle actually runs off onto the label as it goes right over the run-off grooves. I have cleaned the vinyl before this auction on my Okki Nokki machine using L'Art Du Son cleaning fluid which greatly enhances the sound quality.)
Sleeve: - VG+ (laminate has a few mild creases near the edge. Retains it's original shine nicely. On the back there is a small area of laminate on the flip-over that had peeled off. Without this the sleeve would have graded as an EX. The spine is crisp and fully readable. The inner sleeve is plain white and not poly-lined.The labels have some peeling/ light spindle marks and sticker remains which can be clearly seen in the close-up photos.)
This record seldom comes up for sale and one with this label I doubt there is another. Dont miss your chance
GRADING ABBREV DESCRIPTION MINT M The record is as new. The cover and any inserts should be in perfect condition.Many Dealers do not use this classification as A record is unlikely to arrive through the post in truly mint condition. EXCELLENT
PLUS EX+ The record is near-mint, there is no damage or visible surface marking. Under Bright Light you may see fine lines on the record, caused by rubbing on the paper sleeve. Reserve this grade for records where you have difficulty spotting anything wrong.
The Cover and inserts are undamaged. EXCELLENT EX The record may show some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks or fingerprints but there is no appreciable lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. EXCELLENT
MINUS EX- There may be fairly visible surface markings under bright light but the sound quality of the record is not adversely affected.
The Cover and inserts may have noticeable light creasing or "foxing" due to dampness but they are all present and intact. VERY GOOD VG The record has obviously been played a lot, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite surface marks and some light scratches. Also Use this grading where the record has suffered perhaps one more visible scratch, but is otherwise in EX or better condition.
The cover may be creased a little and/or frayed at the opening. You should itemize any more serious damage such as tears.
I also use +/- if I feel a record comes between a grade
