Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!
I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90% of the LP's I've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, I've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, I'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!
I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered",weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).
I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!
I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

SIMPLY BARELY EVER TURNS UP!!!

A true, true classic album, and one of, if not THE first sort of "concept" albums to have ever been written with most tracks linked with cool parody 60's radio adverts!!! To find a UK Stereo 1st Press on it's own is INCREDIBLY difficult in itself (the vast majority were Mono), but one 100% complete with stickered sleeve and IMPOSSIBLY RARE earliest ever true day of release poster? PHENOMENALLY RARE!!!

Only 500 of these posters were ever made, and I'd be MASSIVELY surprised if any more than a small fraction have survived, especially in such absolutely OUTSTANDING shape!!! Has clearly barely ever even left the sleeve!!! (AND the poster is a 100% genuine rough back/smooth front true 1967 UK 1st Press original!!!)

One of the VERY RAREST 60's collectors items of all time!!! A classic album from one of the best bands to ever walk the earth!!! A truly FANTASTIC and historic Mod LP that's just so hard to find as a true day of release example 100% complete with ultra rare sleeve sticker and the IMPOSSIBLY RARE original Osiris poster!!! Do not miss out on this opportunity to own a true one-off piece of rock history - bid now!!!

Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press black Track labels!!! Both sides are FANTASTIC with NO real signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn't had much play over the years at all!!! AWESOME for a 54 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good++++!!!

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1967 UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks AWESOME with NO nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever!!! The only blemishes are just a few totally non-sounding mild cosmetic paper scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines (only visible in strong angled light) and only a few ULTRA light incredibly feint hairlines mostly from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL!!! FANTASTIC for a record of this age and rarity!!! You'll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity!!! It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks OR skips!!! Only like pretty much ALL records has just a mere touch of the lightest crackle here and there, only a few light ticks here and there on rare occasions and a hint of low level ultra light "bluesman's fag" atmospheric static in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections like the run in grooves and between some tracks e.t.c, but it TRULY doesn't overshadow the music AT ALL!!! I'd even argue it gives it added soul!!! And that's truly about it!!! The vast, vast majority of the music is ultra clear and sounds ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from 1st Press UK vinyl!!! An outstanding listen! Absolutely ESSENTIAL!! OUTSTANDING for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audibly at least as Very Good++++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Sleeve :

Original UK 1st Press laminated E.J Day "patents pending" sleeve complete with original earliest pre release “117” unsplit inner (nov 1967, this was released on dec 15th!), original sticker still attached for once (some rubbing and age fading, remains intact and 100% readable!) and IMPOSSIBLY RARE POSTER!!! (only 500 were EVER made, and this one looks absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Clearly barely ever left the sleeve with NO pin holes, tack marks, dulling, writing, graffiti OR folds in sight!!! It’s never ever been hung up and only has just one tiny little seam split to the very middle of the lower seam centre from storage (near invisible and very easily missable with no material missing whatsoever, I only just noticed it!) and only some general unbelievably light vague signs of handling to show of it’s 54 years!!! One of THE very best I’ve EVER seen - UNBELIEVABLE for a poster of this age and rarity)!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks BRILLIANT, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO tears, NO writing OR graffiti, NO bad marks AT ALL, NO seam splits, and still strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has a few mild signs of ageing such as some general light creasing and a touch of a record imprint, some light touches of general mild rubbing here and there from storage (nothing drastic at all), a touch of denting to the four corners which basically EVERY vintage sleeve has, and POSSIBLY (to be safe!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to bring it down by listing every single negative I can possibly find, but this remains a BRILLIANT sleeve, and it's a TRUE rarity to find one as awesome as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall as Very Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A truly OUTSTANDING example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic true 1st Press LP complete with the PHENOMENALLY RARE original 1967 INCREDIBLE UK 1st Press Osiris psychedelic poster!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but simply OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks again for looking, it's truly appreciated!! Cheers!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
