FOR SALE HERE IS A RARE UK COPY OF THE DEBUT ALBUM BY THEM, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ‘ANGRY’ YOUNG THEM DUE TO THE TEXT ON THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE.
THIS IS A FIRST DECCA PRESSING, IDENTIFIED BY THE GROOVE IN THE LABELS SEEN 15mm FROM THE LABEL EDGE AND THE MATRIX NOs SHOWN ABOVE.
THE RECORD IS IN FINE CONDITION. IT’S BEEN CAREFULLY STORED FOR THE LAST 50+ YEARS.
THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN. THERE ARE A FEW SPINDLE TRAILS ON EACH, NOTHING TO INDICATE HEAVY OR CARELESS USE. THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE GLEAMING, VERY CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER LIGHT SHOWS A FEW TINY MARKS ON SIDE ONE THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL, LIGHT HAIRLINE SCRATCHES ON SIDE 2 THAT ARE NOT FEELABLE AND ARE NON-SOUNDING.
THE AUDIO IS SUPERB FROM START TO FINISH. NO CLICKS, OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE. THERE IS JUST THE LIGHTEST BACKGROUND STATIC AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE QUIETER PASSAGES.
THE DISC HAS NO WARPS.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC : EXCELLENT
AUDIO GRADING FOR DISC : EXCELLENT
THE FRONT LAMINATED JAMES UPTON COVER HAS A FEW VERY SMALL WRINKLES , A TOUCH OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE. NO TEARS OR ANY OTHER DEFECTS. THE BACK HAS A BIT OF YELLOWING AT THE EDGES, A FEW SMALL MARKS. THE SPINE AND ALL TEXT IS INTACT.
GRADING FOR COVER IS EXCELLENT
THE ORIGINAL INNER REMAINS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION , NO SPLITS.
IFYOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE MORE PICTURES PLEASE ASK.
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. 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. I DO NOT GIVE PARTIAL REFUNDS.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY SIGNED FIRST CLASS DELIVERY TO UK AND TRACKED AIRMAIL FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT DUE TO PREVIOUS ISSUES I WILL NO LONGER POST TO EASTERN EUROPE, PLEASE SEE ALL POSTAGE EXCLUSIONS.
THE ITEM WILL BE POSTED IN THICK, CARDBOARD BOX MAILER WITH THE DISC REMOVED FROM THE COVER. 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.
