 Desmond Dekker & The Aces - Beautiful & Dangerous/ I've Got The Blues

 (Pyramid PYR 6031 UK 7" 1968)

This is the original UK pressing in nice condition! It comes with its original plain paper sleeve. The record has 1st press matrix stampers. The a-side is a very nice ska tune. The b-side is a funky mod/ ska/ soul dancer. One of his less common UK Pyramid releases.

Vinyl: Mild sleeve rubs that can only be seen under a strong light & occasional small & light marks. VG condition. Plays well overall but a little bit crackly. There is a small stain on one label side. Otherwise the labels are clean.

PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS - LOTS OF RARE & QUALITY VINYL! MOST ARE <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />U.K. 1st PRESSINGS. IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE MORE RECORDS BY THIS ARTIST OR RECORDS IN A SIMILAR VEIN.

ALL GRADING IS VERY STRICT & ADHERES TO 'RECORD COLLECTOR' SPECIFICATIONS. HOWEVER I HAVE FINE TUNED THEM & THEY ARE EXPLAINED BELOW. ALL VINYL IS EXAMINED CLOSELY UNDER A STRONG LIGHT & PLAY TESTED<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

MINT Condition = AS good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate!

NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.

EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.

NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.

VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!
