McGOUGH and McGEAR ~FIRST PRESS PARLOPHONE UK STEREO LP ~ 1967

An absolutely superb stereo first pressing of this rare album. This has a near perfect sleeve,
near mint vinyl and perfect audio. Definitely the final upgrade or a permanent keeper if you
do not have the album already. This album is scarce at any any grade but in stereo at this
grade almost impossible!

GRADING - All of my records are carefully visually graded under bright light and fully play graded before auction.

The Record is visually graded Excellent Plus
The Record Labels are graded Excellent Plus
The Cover is graded Excellent Plus
The sound quality is faultless

Record
The record has a beautiful glossy appearance, lays 100% flat on the turntable and has no warping. Under bright light I could make out some thin hair-lines but there were no stylus scratches, scuffs or any other marks visible. A really well cared for album with very few plays indeed. I have graded the record Excellent Plus.

Labels
The yellow and black parlophone labels are in lovely condition. The spindle hole shows no wear and there are only two minute spindle lines per side (hardly visible) when viewed in bright light. The labels are graded Excellent Plus

Cover
The Garrod and Lofthouse cover is front laminated and is in superb condition graded Excellent Plus. The front has retained its full gloss and colour and has no ring-wear just a few laminate wrinkles close to the edges. The rear cover is similar and has just one or two very small age marks worthy of mention. All of the cover edges are straight with no wear; the spine is straight and unworn and has all of the spine text clear and legible. The corners are near perfect with the tiniest dink and tip wear to one of the corners. The rear flip-backs are all clean and unworn. Overall a superb cover, nearing on as new condition!

 Inner Sleeve
The inner sleeve is th correct EMI advert sleeve which is in excellent condition with no seam splits or tears.

Sound Quality
The album plays to the level of its visual grading with near perfect audio quality. There is not a hint of distortion through groove-wear, and no hiss or crackle. Even the between track links are near silent. Altogether a fantastic listening experience from a great album!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

All of my listed records are carefully visually inspected under bright light and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.

The grading system I use is from Record Collector: - Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades (see below)

Mint. This is in brand new un-played condition.
Excellent. Some signs of being played, but very little lessening of sound quality. There can be minor cover wear and/or creasing.
Very Good. The record has visual evidence of many plays including noticeable surface marks and light scratches. There should be no major deterioration of sound quality however. The cover can have light/moderate wear but no major defects.

A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.

I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective cardboard stiffeners. I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to take out any insurance cover required. I would advise insurance to be taken out on any item sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping. Without this additional insurance the full value of items above £30.00 that are lost or damaged will NOT be able to be recovered.

Following the close of the auction I will send an invoice within twenty four hours. All winning bidders must make contact within three days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to withdraw the item or select the second chance option and offer the item to another bidder.

Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first please.
