Description

Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

YEX 689-1   1G   (KT Tax Code around spindle)
YEX 690-1   1G

Side 1 just has 2 small non feeling scratches. Side 2 has 1 small non feeling scratch and a couple of faint and fine hairlines and a couple of extremely faint surface marks/faint mark to the groove, Apart from that just the odd extremely faint sleeve removal trace under strong artificial light. Both sides look stunning and shiny. Stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean, playtested below.

PLAYTESTED And it Plays Superbly with No skips, jumps or sticks. The audio is Amazing, strong and vibrant with only some light static during intro/between tracks and the odd very faint click. A delight to listen too. Not many left like this.

Labels both have some signs of play (spiders legs) under strong light, Both labels are clean, no wear or writing...see photos Stunning

Original Earliest Laminated Front flipback Garrod & Lofthouse Patent Pending Sleeve. The front of sleeve shows only light rubbing mainly around record shape, still has a nice shine, with some creases from spine edge, a few tiny creases from top and bottom edges and three thumbnail creases near opening. Light corner wear (mainly bottom right). Only light wear to opening edge. Spine is solid and still readable but with 3 creases running through spine, still pinched each end. Top edge has tiny spot of wear near middle the rest is wear free and Bottom edge has a patch of wear near middle but no other wear. Back is crisp, clean with no fading, hardly any discolouration but a handful of faint marks, Flipbacks are solid, a few creases running through and top flipback has a small white patch in the middle...see photos...This is a Great Example of this sleeve, they normally have much more wear and rubbing.



A Mega Rare and Very hard to find LP In Stunning Condition with Amazing Audio.


I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?

NO POSTAGE/SHIPPING TO ROMANIA

With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.

Any questions...please ask.

Premium quality cruciform record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.

All records are sent Sign For, Tracked and Insured for the purchase price, The postage cost reflects this.

I combine shipping costs after the auction for multiple purchases.
