Hi, I am Steve,I am an avid record collector and have been collecting records for about thirty years now and have reached the point where I have to rationalize my collection on the grounds of space at home.I have sold many lps on ebay and have a 100% feedback score.All my records for auction have been play graded by myself, listening to the whole record, as visual grading only tells part of the story.I will always try to describe all faults as clearly as possible.However,please remember that many of the records that I sell can be up to 50yrs old and would never of sounded "as CD quality",even new lps from today all have background noise to varying degrees dependant upon the quality of pressing and the vinyl used. 

PLEASE REST ASSURED THOUGH THAT I ONLY LIST VINYL THAT I HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO PLAY AS ALL HAVE COME FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. 

You can also safely be assured that my records play without jumps, skips and have no writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated to the contrary.

PLEASE READ ALL MY ITEM DETAILS AND TERMS/CONDITIONS LISTED BELOW AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO BID AND THANKYOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VIEW MY AUCTION,CHEERS STEVE.

THIS ALBUM WAS PRESSED BY THE DECCA RECORD COMPANY ON BEHALF OF PARLOPHONE WHO COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND IN SALES . IT WAS OBTAINED BY ME FROM A FRIEND WHO KNEW THE FAMILY OF A GENTLEMAN WHO WORKED FOR THE DECCA RECORD COMPANY IN SOUTH LONDON AS A QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR.AS A RESULT OF HIS WORK HE ROUTINELY TOOK PRESSINGS HOME, ALL THOUGH, WITHOUT THE LP COVERS.AS A RESULT OF HIS SAD DEMISE A VAST COLLECTION OF DECCA RECORDS BECAME AVAILABLE HENCE MY OBTAINING NOT ONLY THIS BUT ALSO A DECCA PRESSING OF WITH THE BEATLES.SO I HAVE MANAGED TO OBTAIN ORIGINAL COVER SLEEVES THAT ARE AS ISSUED AT THE TIME IE "ORIGINALS".THE IMPORTANT THING I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS HERE IS THAT ALTHOUGH THE QUALITY OF THE SLEEVE COULD BE IMPROVED UPON,THE VINYL HERE IS THE ABSOLUTE GEM AS IT LOOKS UNPLAYED,ALTHOUGH I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE AND EACH TIME IT PLAYED LIKE BRAND NEW WITH NO FAULTS WHATSOEVER.
