Description

On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Small Faces called 'Small Faces' and is a MONO UK 1st pressing!!!! THIS IS A VERY RARE 1966 MONO ORIGINAL 'UNBOXED' DECCA 1ST PRESSING!!!! IT IS ALSO IN GREAT CONDITION SO DONT MISS OUT!!!! This is an ORIGINAL Decca UK 1st pressing from 1966 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4790 on the ORIGINAL 'Unboxed' Decca label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Small Faces at their best!!!! Any fan of Small Faces, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, a small name to either side, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in brilliant condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only a couple of MEGA light NON sounding hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest NON sounding surface marks only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps and NO crackle!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The record must grade visually Very Good++++ if not better - though the playing grade is more like Excellent(Minus) if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve!!!! The Cover is in GREAT condition!!!! The front of the cover is simply AWESOME and the cover has NO edge wear, NO laminate glazing, NO ringwear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear, only a VERY few light creases, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! However the unlaminated back is not quite in the same condition as the front. The previous owner told me that as some point the cover got 'damp' on the unlaminated back and as a result there is some unevenness, and also the 'print' on the reverse has what looks like some 'smearing'. Even so the back has NO yellowing, and is still FAR better than most and DONT FORGET that this cover has an absolutely OUTSTANDING cover front!!!! The unlaminated back also has a couple of MEGA faint names (virtually faded to invisibility), and couple of the band members is written in TINY hand writing after 2 of the tracks (barely noticeable). This cover is VERY difficult to grade - as the front is clearly FULL Excellent and unlaminated back is Good+ (NO splits, NO staining, NO rips and NO damage). The overall grading of the cover MUST be Very Good if not better!!!! A STUNNING GRADE FOR A VERY RARE RECORD!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1966 1ST PRESSING OF "SMALL FACES" BY THE SMALL FACES, IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!!
