1968 album combining previously released singles and 4 new tracks.

There’s a touch of psychodelia with “Maybe The Madman”, a few straight ahead numbers in traditional Troggs mode and “Off The Records” with a few bleeped out words. (You are now thinking of the famous Troggs tape in which Reg Presley makes his views on drummers very plain.)

 

I hope the sleeve notes are legible on the rear sleeve photo. To summarise you are in for “a goodly selection of Troggophony which makes up MIXED BAG.”

 

On with the main event.......

 

CONDITION.

 

The sleeve is in excellent* condition.

I’ve uploaded separate pictures of the front and back to demonstrate the condition. It’s a fold back sleeve with a laminated front. The spine is excellent with clear text.

 

There is a plain white inner sleeve which is excellent.

 

The Vinyl is in excellent* condition.  There is moderate background crackle on the lead in for both sides.  Once the music starts it is excellent.

 

Good News Everyone! You can check out the quality on the attached eCommerce Player. (In fact my request/demand is that you listen before placing any bid.) It’s all there. Dip in or play the whole album with lasts about 35 minutes.

 

(This album recorded on my Linn Sondek turntable using “Audacity”, exported as a 320  kbps MP3 file and uploaded into eCommerce Player. No editing whatsoever just a pause as I turned the disc over.)

 

Thanks for looking over this item. I've done my best to highlight any deficiencies and again request that you have a listen before placing a bid.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
