THE EASYBEATS

" GOOD FRIDAY "

UNITED ARTISTS ULP 1167

UK MONO PRESSING 1967

PRODUCED BY SHEL TALMY

FOR AUCTION TODAY I HAVE A SUPERB COPY OF THE EASYBEAT'S 1967 LP " GOOD FRIDAY ".  THESE DO NOT SURFACE VERY OFTEN AND ARE SELDOM SEEN IN NICE CONDITION.  THIS ONE IS A BEAUTY. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.  PERSONALLY I DON'T GO FOR LONG-WINDED OPINIONS ON THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC, BOLD LETTERING OR LOTS OF EXCLAIMATION MARKS AS I DON'T SEE THE POINT.  I PREFER TO KEEP IT BRIEF AND I WILL NOT INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE (I HOPE)

SUFFICE TO SAY THAT THIS IS A REALLY NICE COPY OF WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME A VERY COLLECTABLE 60'S LP. 

IT'S PRESSED ON TYPICALLY HEAVY 60'S VINYL (153g). 

MATRIX NO.s : 11673 - 1G / 11674 - 1G

MOTHERS / STAMPERS : 1R & 1G

AN EMI PRESSING WITH SILVER PRINT ON BLACK LABELS. BOTH LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH VERY FEW SPINDLE TRAILS THAT ARE CONFINED TO THE AREA JUST AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. THIS SUGGESTS MINIMAL AND CAREFUL USE.

LABELS GRADED AS EXCELLENT

  CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE DISC UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SHOWS SOME EXTREMELY FINE, LIGHT RUB LINES THAT SEEM TO BE CONFINED TO THE DEAD WAX. THE ACTUAL PLAYING SURFACES HAVE A LOVELY SHINE THAT IS ONLY FOUND ON EXTREMELY WELL LOOKED AFTER RECORDS.  AGAIN , UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW TINY, ISOLATED LIGHT MARKS THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO IMPACT ON THE PLAYBACK. AUDIO IS CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH NO CRACKLE , EVEN IN THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND BETWEEN TRACKS.  THERE IS A TINY 3MM, BARELY FEELABLE MARK THAT CROSSES THE BAND BETWEEN TRACKS 4 & 5 ON SIDE TWO.  THIS DOES CAUSE 6 POPS AT THE START OF ' REMEMBER SAM '. OTHER THAN THIS THERE IS NOTHING TO FAULT WITH THE PLAYBACK, DOES HOWEVER PREVENT AN EXCELLENT+ GRADING.

VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC IS EXCELLENT

AUDIO GRADING FOR DISC IS EXCELLENT

THE COVER IS PRINTED BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE, DATED JUNE 1967 (6706).  THE LAMINATED FRONT HAS FOUR 'HALF MOON' WRINKLES, TWO BY THE OPENING EDGE AND TWO MORE JUST A BIT FURTHER IN TOWARDS THE CENTRE.  THERE ARE A FEW WRINKLES BY THE SPINE, CORNERS ARE STILL QUITE SHARP, PINCHED SPINE FULLY INTACT WITH ALL TEXT LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH NO FEATHERING. TURNING OVER, THE THREE FLIPBACKS ARE UNDAMAGED, JUST A BIT DARKENED AT THEIR EDGES WHERE THE LAMINATE HAS RECEDED. THE REAR PANEL HAS KEPT MUCH OF IT'S WHITENESS WITH JUST A LITTLE AGE TONING.  THERE'S A MINOR MARK BENEATH THE UNITED ARTISTS LOGO NEAR THE BOTTOM. 

COVER GRADED AS EXCELLENT

THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL, POLYTHENE LINED, PATENT No. & MADE IN ENGLAND 067 (JUNE 1967). THERE ARE NO SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING.

INNER SLEEVE GRADED AS EXCELLENT

I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM.  I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER.  I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM.  ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT.

POSTAGE WILL BE BY IST CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR WITH INSURANCE FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS.  PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED.  SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE FORMER USSR.  APOLOGIES TO THE MANY GENUINE COLLECTORS FROM THESE PLACES BUT THE HASSLE I HAVE HAD FROM PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS MEANS THAT THE MINORITY HAVE SPOILED IT FOR THE REST.

RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVES , PLACED IN A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR AND POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER.  THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.

THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
