THE PLATTERS
“THE PLATERS”
(1957 MERCURY RECORDS – RARE UK ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE, ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE SIMPLY WONDERFUL SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM BY THE PLATTERS ON THE TURQUOISE MERCURY LIVING PRESENCE LABEL.
I CAN’T REALY DO THIS ONE JUSTICE!! 52 YEARS OLD AND IN SUMPTUOUS CONDITION. THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE IS GORGEOUS - WHAT A GREAT PHOTO OF THE PLATTERS!! THE INCREDIBLY HEAVY VINYL IS AMAZING WITH NEAR PERFECT LABELS AND NEAR MINT AUDIO!!
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 1957 MERCURY MPL 6504
MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: LP 12 1504 A-1 / LP 12 1504 B-1
THE SLEEVE
THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH TWO LARGE REAR FLIPBACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR WEAR AND SOME VERY SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION TO THE REAR. THERE IS A TINY CRACK TO THE SPINE, WHICH IS OTHERWISE NEARLY PERFECT.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE VERY HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT. A JOYOUS NEAR MINT AUDIO EXPERIENCE!!
THE LABELS
THE TURQUOISE BLUE “LIVING PRESENCE” MERCURY LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT++ CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT MARKS PER LABEL.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT (M) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) 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, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
