Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.

1967
XEX 637-1 1 M A M
XEX 638-1 ### M D P (3 mothers all appear stamped over? last one looks like an 8)
Both sides have a number of light hairline/scratches and smaller marks non seem feelable, side 2 also has a few small patches of scuffing. Both sides have light whispy sleeve removal marks. It is sold as visually described and bidding should be based only on that not how it may play.
Both Labels have only slight signs of spiders legs under strong light. Very clean labels, no wear or damage.
Front of sleeve is flat and clean with a number of creases around edges and small creases to front, there is a big crease near opening edge, No wear to top edge. Bottom edge has wear to the middle (very small splits). Opening edge has light wear/feathering. Corners have wear. Spine is fully readable but does have wear/bumping/rubbing, Back again is flat and clean with minor ringwear/rubbing, has a few creases and a tiny tear/bit of damage to top left. Corners again have wear. Inside is flat and clean with a few little creases and the all important flipbacks in great condition - Garrod & Lofthouse Patents Pending Mono 'Fourth Proof' sleeve. Not perfect but a nice Example of this VERY rare sleeve.
Red and White Swirl Inner is a bit creased but generally clean with a patch of writing on one side, hardly any discolouration, both sides and bottom edge have split, small tear on bottom edge.
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? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this.
