Description
Welcome to Heart of Wax - Vinyl online record shop. I shall endeavour to post up as many exciting records up here that I find. Usually all from private collections which I've sourced. I'm happy to post out records to all you lovely people of the United Kingdom. Generally each record is secondhand and has been played. All have been cleaned and listened to by myself. And if there are any faults or defects, I will provide them in an honest description below.

THE PRETTY THINGS - THE PRETTY THINGS
Original UK Mono press from 1965. Signs of age and play but this robust vinyl holds up pretty well.
A dynamic debut LP that doesn't appear too often. The production on this was pushed to the limit, perhaps to stand out from early Stones, Beatles LPs of the time. However I think it sounds more like Manfred Mann and The Animals similar work. Yes it's blues-rock and roll covers predominantly but with a production level fired up to the maximum there's elements of heavy garage in here which is hard not to get down to.
Crunchy flexible rhythms and deep down dirty grooves allows all the tracks to shimmer and pulse. If this record was never made would MC5 and other US garage outfits have even picked up a guitar or turned it up to 11? I think not. Raw and slick and sonically, for the most part, it's a blast.
CONDITION
Sleeve - VG - No splits and a little creasing to the laminate and top right corner is slightly worn.
LP - VG - some noticeable marks due to age and play. Nothing which affects play especially on a decent record player.

POSTAGE
Please choose additional postage fee:
Royal Mail First Class: £4.00
Royal Mail Second Class: £3.00
OR
Local collection via my house or my record stall (when available) - FREE
I package each record using the 'cardboard and bubble wrap sandwich method.' Sleeve and LP are kept separate within the postage sleeve. It will arrive to your house looking very tasty but please don't attempt to eat it for your dinner. I only recommend popping it on your record player.
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE
I have offered European and international postage to people on other records which I sell. However one particular continental customer has sent through some horrible feedback and been rather abusive - so I'd prefer to now only ship to somewhere in the UK from here on in. Shame really that we all can't get along. But that's the modern world for you.
It doesn't mean I won't ship abroad but you'll have to send me a message so I can figure out a postage price and whether or not I'm happy to ship this, or any item out to you. Everyone deserves a second chance.
All the best.
