Welcome to my auctions - from Piedrogee:

This week we have a stunning collection of very rare & seldom seen LPs for sale and many in top collectors condition.

Apologies of some of the camera photos are slightly blurry, that’s just me and my camera & the lighting not getting along that day. 

Some LPs may have a slight reflection of condensation from the window, that of course is not on the vinyl or sleeve.  Please refer to the detailed grading in the notes.

ARTIST:  Tubby Hayes

TITLE:  Tubby’s Groove

LABEL:  Tempo TAP 29 1960

ORIGINAL ISSUE OF VERY VERY RARE UK LP IN TRULY STUNNING CONDITION

SLEEVE GRADE: 

The best copy in the world! (OK just maybe) spotless, looks like it came from a print factory yesterday.  

I’ve been collecting and selling records for 20+ years, I can’t recall another copy of any other vintage LP look so crisp and fresh. 

I would grade this M- but really it is MINT.  As good as it can get I think.

The sleeve really is perfect, spine and seams are intact & without marks, knocks and as new, front faces spotless,
reverse is simply shockingly clean, all laminate and flip backs just stunning.  
This has been stored and cared for in a way that 99% of records are not.  True archival quality. 
I joke about it being the best copy in the world but that just may be true.    

The photos do not do the true condition justice.

OK the super finite detail, if I had to be the most hyper critical I could only say one thing and you can see it in the attached photo,
a 1mm miniscule knock to the bottom seam (just under the word ‘British’) but that could have even been there when it left the factory.

VINYL GRADE:   

Truly superb, I would guess this has been played only a small number of times over all these years.  

I would grade EX+ I feel quite content in estimating that this would be classed by many sellers as ‘Near Mint’

It has full gloss & a beautiful shine, on casual inspection there are no marks of note and the vinyl plays cleanly.  

On very close inspection and under a bright light there are a few tiny small surface scratches & tiny lines that are the kind found from inner sleeve removal and minimal use and placing on the platter, viewing the LP etc.  

Please ask if you require clarification on any aspect of the grading.

NOTES:   

I don’t need to offer any kind of review on this LP, the man or his music, if you are hear reading this you already know.  

It’s all about the condition here.

Both labels are very clean, I can only see just several light spindle marks on the A side, that’s all.   Poly lined inner.

Matrix numbers:  VMGT-1637-1B and VMGT-1636-1B

increased fee, apologies but we have encountered too many problems with despatching to this country.
