SMALL FACES - From the beginning

Original UK Mono LP

Decca (LK 4879)

Rare original unboxed Decca pressing in front laminated sleeve. This is not one for the mint collectors, but it is a great playing copy & increasingly difficult to find.

It does show a lot of play, but it has no scratches & playback is very nice. These 60's Decca LP's are superb. 

I have played it all the way through. There are no jumps or skips. There is only light crackle during introductions, and there are a few pops here & there. Generally it plays through superbly well, a nice listen.

So, not a mint copy, not even excellent, but no tears, splits or scracthes & nice playback.

For the last 20 years we have been looking through 100's & even 1,000's of records every week, but we still only pull out a tiny percentage to sell on. 

Condition

Sleeve: VG (No tears, splits or writing, plenty of dirtying, some laminate creasing especially by the spine & ringwear. A tired sleeve but still in one piece)   Record: VG (shows quite a lot of play, general overall wispy scuffing, a couple of larger scuffs & the odd short & light hairline. No scratches. Playback is excellent with minimal crackle & the odd pop, No sticks or jumps)   Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under a 100 Watt bulb. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.

Near Mint

Almost mint.Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care.Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent

An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++

As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
