Description

Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

XARL-7225-IA   1I

XARL-7226-IA   1G

Side 1 has only 4 extremly faint and fine hairline/scratches and one very faint surface mark, nothing that can be felt, Side 2 has only 3 extremely faint and fine small hairlines, no other marks, Apart from that, on both sides, there is the odd extremely light sleeve removal trace, Has a wonderful shine and for near 50 years old...Stunning Condition. The Record has been stored for years and will benefit from a proper clean, I will let the new owner do this.

PLAYTESTED fully and it plays all the way through with no sticks, jumps or skips. The Audio Is Strong and Clear with No Lessening In Sound Quality. There is light static and the odd click in the quiet parts, which during the louder tracks is not noticable. A wonderful listen.

Labels are clean, No wear or damage, some signs of being played under strong light (spiders legs)...see photos

Earliest Laminated Front, Unlaminated Back MacNeill Press Flipback Mono Sleeve has Hardly any wear, Front is flat and clean. Front is still glossy with only slight rubbing near top and bottom, there are a couple of tiny creases from edges, Corners have no wear. Top and Bottom Edges have no wear, Opening edge has no wear, slight old selotape residue to front opening edge, selotape residue inside opening and a brown line along the opening edge on the back, Spine is solid and fully readable and still pinched each end, The back is still really white with no rubbing/fading, flipbacks are crisp and only a couple of marks next to selotape residue strip near opening....A Great example of this rare sleeve that is very flimsy. See Photos

A Very Rare Earliest 1st UK Press Mono LP In Stunning condition.


I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?

NO POSTAGE/SHIPPING TO ROMANIA

With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.

Any questions...please ask.

Premium quality cruciform record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.

All records are sent Sign For, Tracked and Insured for the purchase price, The postage cost reflects this.

I combine shipping costs after the auction for multiple purchases.
