SOUND SAMPLE AUTO STARTED WHEN YOU OPENED THE PAGE,TURN UP THE VOLUME and have a READ . 

PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING, AS THIS IS RARER THAN THE ONE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE LOOKING AT.........

The reason ANY SXL  pressing of this LP is rare is because........

it was deleted from Decca stocks before 1969 as I find no evidence of a Narrow band label ever issued, which was introduced by Decca in 1970 (ish)  This brash statement is further supported by the fact it was issued onto the Ace of Diamonds "Budget Label " range as stock number SDD 157, and as the first of the SDD157 were grooved, therefore probably prior to 1967 when I think the groove was deleted.  Well THERE is an interesting question. Anyone ever seen a Wide Band ed3 of sxl 2223 (therefore issued after 1967)??  (How about in Australia like this one on a flat no groove Orange label using ED1 Stampers?  LOL!!)

USUALLY on re release to Ace of Diamonds, the SXL issue was discontinued (I think true for any SDD series upto at least SDD 193. which was issued close to 1969)

SO........ Here is a 1M 1M 1st stamper copy with Mother stamper 1C? on side 1 (see photo 8)  

1M 1M stampers were usually found on the 1st issue SCALLOP flipbback WBG from the UK,  if you haven't already realised it, THIS  is an AUSTRALIAN Pressed SXLA 2223 (FLAT EDGE pressing which makes it very early off the Australian stamper) .

BY 1962 or thereabouts, all Australian pressings had the raised lip edge to stop needle fall and to aid groove protection sliding in and out of the cover.

NO Australian Decca SXL had a  GROOVE, all flat, but all had Original recording at 10 O'clock even when UK had changed to "Made in England", (well Oz was made in OZ so they tell me, so we wouldn't change it would we)

COVER for those that might need a better one for their UK original lp is a genuine 1st print UK scallop flipback one seam re glued but very little if any rubbing to the front laminate very presentable !!).

Sound Sample is of  about 2.5 minutes, of each side with a 20 second gap so I can flip the disc. , there are a ONLY A few very faint or  fine paper scuffs, in bright sunlight only, nothing able to show in close up photo's, but this record has no effect from any small marks that are SUNLIGHT visible, all plays as same quality as this sample , As you can hear,  very clean, the rest plays no worse than this.

This sound sample at a low resolution (192kbps) and full tone especially on computer speakers will not show, this is only to give an idea of how clean this record is, and even then there are some static crackles that you can hear due to the treble bias of the sample, that DO NOT sound on MY sound system.

Yes I have FULLY test played this , and it has been washed even though it was so clean straight out of the dust jacket.  Indications are this may have very rarely been played, only one light rotational spindle trail I can see. 

Summary rating DISC NM-Jjust a few light scuffing marks all non sounding. 

UK FLIPBACK SCALLOP COVER  VG+++ (dated 5.60) Odd rating I know, but its just a couple of creases in cover, THE RE GLUED BOTTOM FLIPBACK WITH OLD YELLOWED TAPE STAINS( TAPE GONE NOW)   that keep this from NM see details below for Stamper numbers proving this is pressed from a first stamper. 

SIDE A ZAL 3631-1M

Side B ZAL 3632-1M

With over 12000 lps in stock I am sure we will find something.  Talk to me if you have any queries.

USA buyers, due to recently enforced air security measures, please note if this is delivered to USA (or Territories) there is now a 9AUD (6GBP) handling surcharge PLUS the normal post charge (x ray search) so that is why postage to USA destinations is so expensive in the postage Tab!!!!

There is an option on your UK invoice for Economy mail, which will be by Air Mail and therefore the regular 10-15 days, SO UNLESS you want to get it VERY SLOWLY.... I would strongly recommend paying the optional invoice amount of GBP15.90

  If you can get a cleaner sounding UK copy, for this money, I suggest you go buy it. Plays very cleanly, only the faintest of vinyl noise in this with normal RARE occasional tics,  but not distracting. There is no loud music to mask any vinyl damage noise.
so here's a good way to get the music on a record that  besides some random soft static like pops in quiet passages , has only paper scuffs in bright light . Both sides OCCASIONAL pops and tics especially in quiet passages nothing repetetive more than 2 quiet pips anywhere.

Rarely ever seen in Australia (THIS IS  THE ONLY ONE I HAVE  EVER SEEN, out of tens of thousands OF RECORDS INSPECTED!!!!!)

 LP test played before any cleaning itwas so clean, Except for the VERY FEW QUIET PIPS as mentioned .The full recording has to be heard, so if you haven't already heard IT , vote now........
