	£		80
	$		106

Stunning Original 1968 UK Fontana 1st Pressing 'Mexican Green' by British Jazz Legend Tubby Hayes!  On Original Silver/Blue 1st press Stereo Fontana LAbels.   True UK 1st Pressing with Earliest 1Y/1//2Y/1 1st Press Matrix and Laminated Flipback Sleeve!!! A Beautiful UK 1st Pressing in Impossible **Near Mint** Vinyl Condition!!!

Here is another gem from my own mostly Nr Mint personal collection (which I am selling off gradually to lessen the pain...) I have been collecting very rare vinyl for a long time now. As a collector, I have been very critical about the condition of the records I have chosen to buy over the years, and only selected the most pristine 1st pressings I have found.  My collection is therefore filled with not only the rarest UK 1st pressings, but also records of the highest grade quality condition, some of the best you will probably ever come across. Sadly, most now have to find new homes. As I said, I am very strict with my grading, so when I describe a record as Nr Mint - you can rest assured that it will be a true Nr Mint record (I never grade any records as Mint because Mint does not exist unless you own a time machine and go back and bag a job in a 1960's record pressing plant!)

This is a very very rare record indeed. It books at three figures, but I have never heard of another in *Near Mint* un-played condition before so please bid early and bid high because demand will be very high. Tubby Hayes is a British Jazz legend and as such demand for original pressings of his records are high. They only usually turn up in very good condition at best, but this one is in absolutely stunning un-played *Near Mint* condition. Only for the most serious 1st press jazz collections! Good luck!

1st Press Matrix:

Side 1 - 886500 1Y/1

Side 2 -  886500 2Y/1

The Classic 1st press Silver/Blue Fontana centre labels are in stunning *Near Mint* condition Not a spindle line in sight as you would expect from an unplayed record.  The gramophone rims containing the all important 1st press etchings and matrix's are also MINT-!!!

What can I say about the vinyl that I have not already said? It is stone cold *Near Mint* with NO Scratches, No scuffing, NO Hairlines NO Bagrash, NO blemishes of any kind at all! It is absolutely perfect and unblemished!!! This disc looks like it came off the master press this morning!!! It has all the deep shine a newly pressed record that as only ever been played once before!!!  The record still retains ALL its original gloss and shine and has NO dulling and NO nasty greying of the grooves!!! If I am being ultra fussy (which I am), there is a mega faint waxy rub at the end of side two but is is superficial, completely non-sounding and invisible unless holding the record angled toward strong light. I have no hesitation whatsoever with grading this vinyl as a strong Near Mint!!! Its as simple as that!!! (suitable for the highest grade Near Mint Jazz collection - you will not find a better record!!) 

The original 1st issue laminated flip-back sleeve is also in tremendous condition!!! It has NO Tears, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! It is completely blemish free!!! The spine in mint with mint legible spine text and there is no edge wear oat all. The fully laminated front section is beautiful. There is no discolouration at all and the laminate is pristine, with that just pressed look. There are no laminate creases at all. There is a little sicker residue but this is over the laminate and can be removed, the laminate is not broken. The unlaminated predominantly white reverse side is absolutely pristine. Brilliant white with no stains or discolouring. The flipbacks are also nic an tight. . It is very rare to find an unlaminated reverse side like this. This amazing sleeve grades as Excellent+++!!! The LP comes with its Original correct poly-lined windowed inner sleeve.  It is nice and flat with NO serious creases.

Please check out our feedback and bid with confidence as this is a no reserve auction with a very low starting price! As mentioned above, this is a very very rare record indeed. It books at three figures, but I have never heard of another in *Near Mint* un-played condition before so please bid early and bid high because demand will be very high. Tubby Hayes is a British Jazz legend and as such demand for original pressings of his records are high. They only usually turn up in very good condition at best, but this one is in absolutely stunning un-played *Near Mint* condition. Only for the most serious 1st press jazz collections! Good luck!

I have tried to show you the record from all angles - there's nothing to hide!!! If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a UK 1st press of this LP in this kind of condition is impossible today!!! Good Luck!!!

I will be selling my entire UK 1st Press collection of 1960/70's Psych/Prog./Beat/Rock & Folk over the coming months, most of these records are in Mint- condition, many having 3 figure book prices. All will be listed here on eBay UK, most with a £2.99 start and No Reserve - bookmark my pages. Like the vast majority of my collection, this record has been archived upright in a thick outer PVC sleeve in a smoke & damp free environment since purchase!

All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards.  If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
