IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so I would like to pass on these records to other people to share the enjoyment that I have had with the collection over the last 50 years.
For auction here is an original UK mono copy of The Who's 2nd LP 'A Quick One' issued in 1966 on the Reaction label 593002. The runout numbers on the A side are:-593002 A//1 1 and 593002 B//1 1 8 1 on the B side. It features a more adventurous psychedelic sound than My Generation but still not losing that 'OO sound. Pete's playing is great whilst John's bass resonates throughout all the tracks. Still Love Boris The Spider!
The laminated cover is in an OK condition. There are several laminate creases and some edge and spine wear. There is some ring wear on the front and back. As can be seen there are NO stickers, NO tears and no writing.
The inner sleeve is a plain white one. I have no idea if it is the original or not.
Looking at the vinyl on both sides it looks very marked and there are scratch marks visible. The labels are completely clean being free of stickers and writing. I can see several spindle marks but the spindle holes are quite acceptable.
Tracks:- Side 1 Run Run Run Boris The Spider I Need You Whiskey Man Heat Wave Cobwebs And Strange
Side 2 Don't Look Away See My Way So Sad About Us A Quick One, Whilst He's Away
I have played the vinyl through on both sides. There is audible background noise coming through at varying levels which sometimes gets drowned-out by the music. There will be clicks but I didn't notice that many. It plays a lot better than it looks. It's look is why I have graded it as G+ but audibly it matches the VG definition quoted below.
Audibly the music comes through very clearly and you should not be disappointed by the reproduction from that point of view. I love the bass of John Entwhistle as it always seem significant to the songs. Nothing particularly wild from Keith on this album. His playing has always been very competent.
For playback I use an Ortofon cartridge on a Technics SL1210MK2 through a Denon DRA 375RD amplifier to Wharfdale 3200 speakers.
I have started this off at £4.99 which is a fair start in my opinion.
Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do add + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-fillerprice rating
