Description
Original Swan Records pressing, LP-510 from 1963
Hard to find in any condition - no need to mention, just look on eBay right now, there are also none for sale on discogs at the moment.
Record is a solid VG+. Nice and shiny vinyl... see all the photos. There is one hairline that looks bad, it's more like a light scuff, it goes through the last 2 tracks on Side A (see 2nd photo please), but seems superficial - it must have just grazed the surface, because I hear no tics at all when playing, not even between those two tracks. Apart from that, just some mild hairlines across both sides. There is light surface noise, as to be expected with any original Swan records copy (I've heard a few). But this one is definitely a player, and you'll have to spend a lot more than what I'm asking for a nicer copy - and those almost never turn up. The white deep groove labels look excellent.
The jacket unfortunately has some writing... there was some marker writing on the front, which somebody removed, with some success, but the remnants are still there. On the back, no attempt was made to remove it, as you can see in the photo. The seams are all good, there is about a 1/2" split starting at the bottom. There is also a small amount of clear tape on the spine, although the spine and all the other edges seem pretty solid.
Not a perfect copy, but pretty nice I'd say.
I've sold many records on eBay and bought even more, the record will be packed in a proper mailer, shipped media mail with confirmation number. If you want it faster, that could be arranged for extra cost.
US shipping only.
BTW, I never see any original Link Wray posters or handbills on eBay (60's or earlier), they must be rare. I'd love to find some!
