Description

RARITY:- Extremely rare indeed. The 1 previous owner I got this from told me this LP was commissioned by Saga Records for release. When the release wasn't granted and most copies were destroyed, he took it home. Apparently Saga were going to release this LP at the same time as some old Jimi Hendrix recordings they were working on. The Jimi Hendrix LPs were eventually released in 3 parts, but they couldn't get permission for this LP - so it was binned. Unfortunately he couldn't remember the artist (not helpful!) - but said the artist was probably blanked out on the labels and cover due to it being cancelled.

COUNTRY:- UK

MONO/STEREO:- MONO? Sorry I don't know. I would say Mono.

FORMAT:- LP

PRESSING:- 1ST PRESSING (THERE WAS ONLY ONE PRESSING) - 1A/1B MATRIXES, A/A MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS, AND PLAIN COVER! I CAN SAY THIS LP WAS DEFINITELY MADE BY 'BRITISH HOMOPHONE' - AND THE MATRIXES (SEE PICTURES!), ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS 'PRESIDENT' LPs AND 45s FROM THIS PERIOD. THEY ARE ALSO THE SAME AS 'DOCTOR BIRD' 45s AND EARLY TO MID 1960s UK 'SUE' RELEASES. SO CLEARLY THIS WAS MANUFACTURED AT A PROPER UK RECORD PLANT, AND COMMISSIONED BY A LEGITIMATE SOURCE.

ARTIST:- Sorry I don't know? The music is Rock/Pop or Folk/Rock. Decent stuff anyway, and a live recording. I cannot find out any information.

TITLE:- ?

CAT NUMBER:- NO CAT NUMBER - BUT THE MATRIXES ARE STAMPED:- GWW LP 1A / GWW LP 1B

LABEL:- NEVER RELEASED - BUT COMMISSIONED BY SAGA RECORDS UK.

DATE:- 1969

SIGNS OF PLAY:- LIGHT TO MODERATE

LABELS:- EX+ (see handwritten annotations)

RECORD GRADING:- The record is in decent order - though not Mint. Still bright and shiny also. Has NO nasty concentric marks, NO nasty tick marks, a few scufflines, a few VERY light hairlines, only some VERY faint 'bag sweat' traces under light, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light! The record plays with NO skips, only a few light clicks, NO sticks, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL! And though some people might grade this record higher - I will VERY strictly grade it Good, to avoid any disappointment.

INNER:- Looks original and EX+

COVER GRADING:- I do not know if the cover is original to the record, though the 1 previous owner said it was. Though it is plain white as you would expect. So it could well be. The cover easily grades EX+.

DEFECTS OUTSIDE OF THE GRADE GIVEN:- N/A

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
