Description
AUCTION FOR TUBBY HAYES 'MEXICAN GREEN' ORIGINAL FONTANA LP FROM 1968. RECORD IS STEREO, No. SFJL 911.
I WAS GIFTED THIS LP SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM A SENIOR CITIZEN'S COLLECTION. I AM A CLASSICAL / POP FAN SO I HAVE NEVER PLAYED IT UNTIL THIS LISTING. (PREVIOUSLY HE RARELY PLAYED IT AND ALSO HE TOOK IMMENSE CARE OF ALL HIS LP'S).
THE VINYL IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT, SLIGHTEST TRACES OF SPINDLE MARKS SHOW THAT IT HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE BUT VERY RARELY. WHEN PLAYED NOW ON MY HIGH END STEREO THE SOUND IS SUPERB ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES. IT PLAYS AS A NEW RECORD WOULD.
THE SLEEVE IS FLIPFOLD; THIS DOES SHOW SOME AGE YELLOWING ON THE BACK, ALSO A CORNER CREASE AND A 1.5" DAMAGE AREA ON THE SPINE.
I BELIEVE THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 500 COPIES OF THIS ALBUM PRESSED BUT I CAN'T BE SURE OF THAT. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS ULTRA RARE.
I DON'T USUALLY FOLLOW THE RECORD GRADING SYSTEM AS MOST LPS OFFERED SEEM TO BE 'VISUAL GRADING ONLY' AND I CAN'T SEE THAT BEING MUCH USE FOR AN AUDIO ITEM. HOWEVER I WILL GRADE THIS COPY OF 'MEXICAN GREEN AS NM/VG, TENDING TO MINT/VG; THAT'S RECORD/SLEEVE, FULLY PLAYED.
