Description
Hello, my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer and this is not a business. I will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they receive from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an album is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!
I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use cruciform boxes with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap for extra protection. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world but it must be fully insured. The cost of postage will depend on the final selling value, so I can't advise the cost until the auction has ended.
PLEASE WAIT TO BE INVOICED
Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase I am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.
I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a few pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.
I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.
so here we go.........

DEAD WAX INFO.
Matrix side 1. ARL-7887-1A 1 JT 11(? not clear perhaps 4 dots)

SLEEVE...........Non-gate-fold, Front laminated. There are no seem splits or sticker tears, no bad repairs etc. There is almost no wear to this sleeve. There is NO bottom edge shelf wear, the top edge is in just as good condition. The spine is very strong and square and all of the information is fully readable with clear pinched corners. The opening edges are nice, the front edge has minor feathering and the back edge is nice and sharp. There is minor corner tip wear an some light surface rub to the front but not through the surface. There is some minor creasing and minor laminate lift to the left edge. There is no tears or missing pieces to the laminated front surface. The back although very susceptible to damage is in amazing condition for it's age. No tears or unwanted writing, all of the information is very crisp and clear. There are some light brown marks here and there. Not easy to find a 50 year old sleeve in this super condition.
EX+
INNER SLEEVE. original Decca poly lined sleeve .No splits, just 1 tiny nick in the top edge. EX
LABELS.............The labels are in great condition with no unwanted writing or stains or tears, just one, YES 1 light spindle line on each label. EX+/EX+
VINYL................Barley played, and then obviously with the greatest of care. Deep black shine, NO scratches and NO scuffs, I can barely see a hairline mark on this super clean vinyl. It sits absolutely flat on the turntable. Play back is very strong and clear with no clicks, pops or jumps. There are some very, very light dust crackles heard in some of the very quiet parts. (perhaps a professional clean will sort that out?). STUNNING
An Easy NEAR MINT
COMMENTS......A real beauty very, very difficult to find a copy even approaching this sort of minty condition....... 50 years of age.....
I have taken pictures with and without a flash to try and show sleeve as honestly as possible.
Good luck bidding, Brian.
