ARTIST & TITLE: PRETTY THINGS GET THE PICTURE? NEW ZEALAND 60S FLIPBACK MONO FONTANA PSYCHEDELIC
VINYL PRESSING: NZ PRESSING
LABEL: FONTANA
CAT # 687 359 TL
VINYL CONDITION: VG+/VG. OVERALL THIS VINYL IS REALLY NICE, HARDLY ANY SPINDLE MARKS (MAYBE ONE OR TWO) AND THE VINYL IS NICE AND CLEAN AND SHINY WITH JUST LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS, SOME MIGHT CALL IT A EX- AND I WOULD GENERALLY CALL IT A VG+ (SINCE I TRY AND PRIDE MYSELF ON BEING EXTRA HARD ON MY GRADINGS) THERE IS HOWEVER ONE BAD SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE WHICH AFFECTS THE LAST 10 SECONDS OF TRACK 4 ( CAN'T STAND THE PAIN) AND GOES OVER TRACK 5 (RAINING IN MY HEART) AND FOR ABOUT HALF OF TRACK 6 (WE'LL PLAY HOUSE) IT DOESNT STICK OR SKIP, BUT YOU CAN HEAR A LIGHT CLICK, CLICK CLICK, (YOU CAN SEE THE SCUFF IN PHOTO 7) - SO WITH THIS IN MIND I AM DROPPING THE GRADING DOWN TO A VG+/VG (EVEN WITH THIS SCUFF MOST WOULD LIST IT AS A VG+ BUT I WOULD RATHER TRY AND UNDERGRADE SOMETHING THAN OVERGRADE IT. AND IN ALL HONESTY TRACK 5 AND 6 - ARE NOT THE GREATEST TRACKS ON THE LP IMHO) SIDE 2 HOWEVER IS NICE JUST HAS SOME LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND OVERALL THE VINYL IS NICE AND SHINY.
COVER CONDITION: EX- NICE FLIPBACK HAS A BIT OF RINGWEAR ON THE BACK AND A SLIGHT BIT OF FOXING, BUT NO SPLITS AND THE COVER IS NICE AND FLAT OVERALL AND HAS LOST NO COLOR AND THE LAMINATE IS NICE (FROM THE FRONT IT LOOKS LIKE I JUMPED IN A TIME MACHINE AND WENT BACK AND JUST BOUGHT IT IN 1965)
ADDITIONAL INFO: THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE GENUINE NZ 1965 PRESSING (THIS ALBUM SOLD SO FEW COPIES THEY WOULD NOT HAVE EVER BOTHERED RE-PRESSING IT) I AM SURE I DON'T NEED TO STRESS HOW RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER THE UK VERSION IS - BUT THIS VERSION FROM NZ IS ALSO RARE - IN FACT IN MY 30 YEARS OF COLLECTING I HAVE SEEN (OWNED) TWO COPIES - ONE WAS A DUSTBIN LID, AND THEN I OWNED THIS ONE - SO ITS RARE! AND IT SOUNDS AMAZING. DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE FACT ITS A NZ PRESSING - LOOK ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND THAT COLLECTORS RAVE ON ABOUT NZ PRESSINGS - BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER COUNTRIES NZ ALWAYS USED HEAVY STRONG VINYL IN OUR PRESSING PLANTS AND YOU CAN BUY NZ VINYL WITH CONFIDENCE (I'M SURE ANY BEATLES COLLECTOR WILL ATTEST TO THAT - THAT NZ PRESSINGS ARE GREAT)
ALSO NOTE: I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE BACK COVER OF THE UK VERSION BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH THE BLURB ON THE BACK MENTIONS NZ - SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS VERSION WAS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR NZ OR NOT)
PLEASE IGNORE ANY POSSIBLE GLARE IN THE COVER - IT WOULD BE JUST THE CAMERA FLASH.
POSTAGE: $19 WORLDWIDE FOR 1 LP OR $22 FOR TWO LPS AND $5 PER LP" AFTER THAT.

PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE BIDDING:
GRADING: All vinyl is graded visually - I just don't have time to play all my discs before putting them up for auction however I will try to be tough on the grading, as I would prefer that a buyer was happily surprised, in stead of unhappily disappointed.
NM = Mint. No such thing really, unless its still sealed. or brand new, unplayed.
EX- = Excellent. Looks almost new. Possibly has one to two minors faults, and some evidence of having been played, with no audible defect.
VG+ = Very Good Plus. Has light scuffs and scratches but mostly inaudible. possibly can hear a bit of noise in quiet parts. Records with slight surface noise and/or scuffs fall into this category.
VG = Very Good. Has a bit more wear and tear, surface noise a bit more apparent, but still very listenable. Records in this category have more significant damage or wear.
VG- = More, distracting surface noise. Quite audible but good for singalongs etc ;-) Only used for rarites that you otherwise may not find.
G+ = Good Plus. Not really good, more like a dustbin lid, used really only for rarities and/or label fillers
