Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I specialize in 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between!!! I try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay!!! Obviously, 90%+ of the LP's I ever get hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? I offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!!

I'm going to start by listing 20 LP's a week, all timed to end 10 days later. Hopefully after a while, i'll be able to step things up a gear or two in good time. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I can ever possibly find!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I intend to become one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and i'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

Title :  Love - Forever Changes

Label & year : Original Elektra EKL 4013 LP , UK Mono 1967 ULTRA RARE 1st Press!!!

Matrix's : Side A : EKL 4013 A1 , Side B : EKL 4013 B1 

Here it is!!! THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!! LP's like The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds showed me just how truly complex and incredibly beautiful "contemporary" music can be, and LP's like Syd Barrett and the Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn showed me just what kind of magical things were possible with sound, but as far as i'm concerned, the closest a set of songs has come to true perfection, is this masterpiece from the legendary Arthur Lee (with a little help from his friends!), and as far as i'm concerned, LP closer "You Set The Scene" is the closest music has ever come to capturing the meaning of life. The term "classic" is often thrown about with no real thought, but if you're looking for the pinnacle of music, you need look no further than Love's Forever Changes. Sure, this example doesn't really do this masterpiece true justice (nothing short of a near perfect copy would), but I can't deny it's still a true privilage to offer an original 1967 Mono 1st Press!!! For those who don't mind a few clicks and a little surface noise here and there, this is a great and rare oppertunity to own an original piece of history!!!

The LP :

Labels : 

Classic UK Original 1st Press textured Elektra labels!!!. Both sides are BRILLIANT with NO real signs of age, and NO writing OR tears whatsoever!!! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests it hasn't been played too much over the years at all!!! FANTASTIC for a 40 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good!!!

Record : Visual - 

Original UK 1st Press laminated sleeve complete with original inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO tears, NO writing, NO graffiti, NO splits, NO bad marks AT ALL, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has a few mild signs of ageing such as one or two light creases, a touch of ringwear, a little laminate lifting near the spine, a HINT of the slightest light creaming to the bright white colour (truly next to none), some minor signs of dulling to the unlaminated edges from where dust has fallen over the years, a mere touch of denting to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can find, but this is truly a BRILLIANT sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as INCREDIBLE as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit, and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A nice example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic UK Mono 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS GREAT AS THIS!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional light mark and light use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
