Hi, I started collecting vinyl Lp's and 45's in 1971, I have 20,000 + which I have moved now 4 times, and about to move again next year. So it's time to let at least half go. Most are in at least Excellent condition.  I can't listen to them all, so most will only have visual grading, any with a high start price, I will listen too, and play grade.

THE DOWNLINERS SECT :- THE ROCK SECT.'S IN.. UK 1966 1ST PRESS MONO.

A MOD  "ALL TIME CLASSIC" ALBUM.

1966 UK COLUMBIA LABEL, Matrix Side 1 :- XAX 3022-1, Side 2 :- XAX 3023-1. 

COVER:- VERY GOOD+.... Most would say better please look at the pictures, and read the description. 

VINYL:-  NEAR MINT.... 

INNER SLEEVE :-  ORIGINAL ALSO EXCELLENT.

This is The SECT'S 3rd Studio Album.... The Rock Sect's......This MONO Original 1966 Press is now so Rare, Making this one of the rarest Mod albums of all time due to the very low numbers sold, mostly in the capitol as the were residents at Ell Pie Island. The band the Rolling Stones wanted to be! A quote from Keith Richards, It sold poorly due to the title and not having a hit single. There's not many of these about now in this condition, not forgetting in 1965 most people didn't have good Stereo equipment so most records were ruined by being played on dancette type of gramophone. With heavy playing arms that often damaged the vinyl. A true MOD Classic!  You would be hard pushed to see a better vinyl records they look hardly played. I don't need to tell you how many Lp's got scratched and ruined by heavy weighted arms and metal needles.  This is the SUPERIOR 1st PRESS version... So hard to find in any playable condition, as they have been squirreled away in collections or worse thrown away, Nearly all copies that turn up have terribly worn Covers, mostly with the owners name written on them. I believe that there are very few better Condition Stones albums, you would be hard pushed to find better.   

The sleeve is laminated to the front not on the back, without any Major creasing, NO WRITING OR MARKS. Mega Rare true Mod classic.

RECORD LABEL:-  Columbia Records

YEAR OF ORIGINAL RELEASE/ COUNTRY OF MANUFACTURE:-  1966 UK

MODE/SPEED: MONO - 33RPM

CAT NUMBER:  SX 6028

VINYL AUDIO:   EXCELLENT :-  No distortion, No Jumps, Bright Clear Sound.  

VINYL VISUAL:  NEAR MINT : - The Records very few plays, No Marks, No Deep Scratches, The vinyl is bright and has a shine No Major damage. 

SLEEVE:   VERY GOOD + Look at the photo's... The wonderful original 1st press Ernest J Day & Co Ltd sleeve is clean, except for the light laminate edge creases and a small ding on the top edge, so it's 54 years young! The laminated cover is remarkable consider it's age, With a few very small creases in the laminated front cover most there from new. Please look at the photo's, the cover is prone to wear due to the it's age. On the Black and white back cover has some rubbing which I have photographed not much handling aging or blemishes,  and a Near Perfect Spine.. I try to give it all, A Sharp opening edge, please  (see photo's) still the back somehow it has survived without picking up much staining, so prone on 60's white backs. Now so rare in this condition as they were not cheap at the time at over a pound and  the average wage being £35 at the time. Most copies were played to death. This Sleeve is still in amazing condition.

INNER SLEEVE:   EXCELLENT. Original EMI TEX poly lined paper type, ... No tear through, writing, or damage, being the very fragile inner sleeves are a great indicator of the amount of usage the album has had. I would say the inner is the best you could find! and considering how fragile these are.....it's now 53 years old, quite unbelievable intact condition.  

LABELS:   The Blue Columbia Labels are clean. With the original K &T UK Tax stamps and "SOLD IN THE UK" has only very light spindle marks, no damage or writing.    

GRADING SYSTEM: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
