Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!
I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90% of the LP's I've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, I've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, I'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!
I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered",weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).
I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!
I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

Visual (vinyl and labels) :

Classic 1962 UK 1st Press labels!!! Both sides are GREAT with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO graffiti, NO staining, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has some light spindle marks from general use over the years!!! BRILLIANT for a 59 year old record!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GOOD with NO excessively nasty marks, NO deep scratches that ruin playback, and NO vicious scuffs or gauges either!!! It just has quite a few of the usual wispy sleeve storage traces, some obvious but still fairly light scratches, and many relatively mild hairlines (only visible in angled light) mostly from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these blemishes interfere with smoothness of play AT ALL!!! Well used, but still GREAT for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall visually at least as Fair++++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me) Also comes with original unsplit 1963 paper inner - one or two minor stains and a couple of mild ink smudges - no splits, ugly grubbiness, writing OR graffiti - almost always torn or missing, not the case here!!!

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays GREAT with fantastic mono blast and clarity!!! It really sounds good with NO hops, sticks OR skips!!! Only has a few general clicks here and there with vintage low level "bluesman's fag" static crackle surface noise e.t.c colouring the whole thing as to be expected, but it doesn't overshadow the music at all!!! I'd even argue it gives it added soul!!! (nothing overly drastic at all - remains brilliantly listenable and a real thrill to hear them at the very moment  they burst onto the scene!) A hugely enjoyable listen - The music is TRULY loud and iconic with that depth, warmth, and bass you can only get from a UK 1st Press!!! GREAT for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audiably at least as Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : An AWESOME used example of this PHENOMENALLY RARE classic pioneering debut WITHDRAWN ICONIC RED LABEL original 1962 UK 1st Press 45!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS BRILLIANTLY PRESENTABLE AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks again for looking, it's truly appreciated!! Cheers!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
