THE BEE GEES
" ODESSA "
POLYDOR DOUBLE ALBUM 582049 / 50
UK MONO PRESSING 1969
PRODUCED BY ROBERT STIGWOOD & BEE GEES
FOR AUCTION TODAY I HAVE A SUPERB COPY OF THE BEE GEES 1969 DOUBLE LP " ODESSA ". THESE DO NOT SURFACE VERY OFTEN AND ARE SELDOM SEEN IN NICE CONDITION. THIS ONE IS A BEAUTY AND IT'S THE EXTREMELY RARE MONO PRESSING.
IT'S PRESSED ON TYPICALLY HEAVY 60'S VINYL (147g / 143g)
MATRIX NO.s : 582049 A1/B1 582050 A3/B1
THE FOUR LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH FEW SPINDLE TRAILS THAT ARE CONFINED TO THE AREA JUST AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. THIS SUGGESTS MINIMAL AND CAREFUL USE.
LABELS GRADED AS EXCELLENT
CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SHOWS A LOVELY SHINE TO BOTH DISCS. THERE IS THE ODD VERY LIGHT NON-FEELABLE MARK VISIBLE. THERE IS A SINGLE SCRATCH THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE GAP BETWEEN TRACKS 3 & 4 ON THE THIRD SIDE. THIS RUNS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GROOVES AND CAUSES A SINGLE CLICK IN THE INTERVAL BETWEEN THE SONGS. IT HAS NO IMPACT ON THE MUSIC BUT IS WORTHY OF MENTION. OTHERWISE ON BOTH DISCS THE AUDIO IS REALLY SUPERB WITH NO CRACKLE, POPS OR ANYTHING INTRUSIVE. A REALLY GREAT SOUNDING PAIR OF DISCS.
VISUAL & AUDIO GRADING FOR SIDE 1 IS EXCELLENT
VISUAL & AUDIO GRADING FOR SIDE 2 IS EXCELLENT
VISUAL & AUDIO GRADING FOR SIDE 3 IS VERY GOOD+
VISUAL & AUDIO GRADING FOR SIDE 4 IS EXCELLENT
THE COVER WITH IT'S VELVET FINISH AND GOLD FOILED LETTERING PRINTED BY EJ.DAY, IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THERE IS A TINY BIT OF DISC IMPRESSION AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THE TITLE LETTERING AND POLYDOR LOGO ARE BEAUTIFULLY INTACT. THERE ARE SMALL AREAS OF BROWN SPOTS IN EACH OF THE BOTTOM CORNERS ON THE FRONT AND VERY SLIGHT BROWNING TO THE LOWER PART OF THE SPINE. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL INDENTATIONS ON THE REAR, SLIGHT SOFTENING OF THE OPENING EDGES. THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD HAS NO DAMAGE, LOOKS SUPERB. THE COVER HAS NO SPLITS, BENDS OR CREASES ANYWHERE. I WILL GRADE CONSERVATIVELY BUT IT'S CERTAINLY A FINE EXAMPLE OF THIS UNIQUE AND EASILY DAMAGED SLEEVE.
COVER GRADED AS VERY GOOD+/NEAR EXCELLENT
THE INNER SLEEVES ARE THE ORIGINAL, POLYTHENE LINED, PATENTED & MADE IN ENGLAND . THERE ARE NO SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING, JUST MINOR CREASES.
INNER SLEEVES GRADED AS EXCELLENT
SO THIS IS A REALLY NICE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC AND AMBITIOUS DOUBLE SET FROM THE BEE GEES. SUPERB MUSIC, SUPERBLY PACKAGED. HARD TO FIND IN DECENT CONDITION, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IN MONO!
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY 2ND CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR WITH INSURANCE FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE FORMER USSR. APOLOGIES TO THE MANY GENUINE COLLECTORS FROM THESE PLACES BUT THE HASSLE I HAVE HAD FROM PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS MEANS THAT THE MINORITY HAVE SPOILED IT FOR THE REST.
RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVES , PLACED IN A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR AND POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
