DICK JAMES CREDITS TO TRACKS A1, A2, A6, A7, B4 AND B6. M Z AND T CODES AROUND SPINDLE HOLE. SIDE 1 IN DEAD WAX- 1 AND G AT 9 O'CLOCK AND 3 O'CLOCK. SIDE 2 IN DEAD WAX- 1 AND R AT 9 O'CLOCK AND 3 O'CLOCK.
FIRSTLY, CAN I EXPLAIN CLEARLY AND HONESTLY, THIS RECORD IS DEFINITELY NOT IN THE BEST OF CONDITION. ALTHOUGH IT IS DEFINITELY THE VERY, VERY RARE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING, IT HAS NUMEROUS SCRATCHES AND RUBS. IT CAME FROM A RELATIVE, AND I CAN'T AT THIS TIME PLAY TEST IT, SO I CAN'T SAY WHETHER IT WOULD PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT PROBLEMS, I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD DEFINITELY BE POPS, SURFACE NOISE AND POSSIBLE JUMPING. I HAVE CLEANED IT ON MY PRO-JECT RECORD CLEANING MACHINE AND IT HAS COME UP FAIRLY GLOSSY, BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS SCRATCHES AND RUBS, SIDE 2 BEING THE WORST.
SO PLEASE BEAR THIS IN MIND IF YOU ARE BIDDING- THIS IS NOT A PERFECT RECORD, IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL LOVED!
THE BLACK AND GOLD LABEL IS IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION- THE GOLD IS A BIT FADED, AND THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES AND RUBS, BUT NO WRITING. HOPEFULLY THE PHOTOS CAN SHOW YOU ALL THE DETAILS, ALTHOUGH I AM A RUBBISH PHOTOGRAPHER!
IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER SLEEVE, WITH 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND 'MADE IN ENGLAND' ON THE RIGHT CORNER. THIS IS IN GOOD CONDITION, APART FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WHICH HAS BEEN DAMP AND SHOWS SIGNS OF MILDEW AND DISINTEGRATION IN A SMALL AREA OF THE CORNER. OTHERWISE CLEAN AND TIDY WITH NO WRITING.
THE OUTER SLEEVE IS LOVELY, CLEAN AND BRIGHT, BUT **PLEASE NOTE** I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE. IT HAS NOT GOT THE LAMINATED FRONT WITH BACK FLAPS. I AM ASSUME FROM THE SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE INNER SLEEVE, THAT THE ORIGINAL OUTER SLEEVE GOT MORE DAMAGED, SO IT WAS REPLACED WITH A BIT LATER VERSION. HOWEVER, IT IS A REALLY NICE SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
SO I HOPE YOU CAN SEE I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I CAN ABOUT THE DESCRIPTION, AND YOU CAN TAKE ALL DETAILS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN BIDDING.
IF NOTHING ELSE, BECAUSE OF THE ABSOLUTE RARITY OF THE RECORD, IT WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC FRAMED ON ANY COLLECTOR'S WALL! THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE MANY MORE COPIES AROUND. BUT I HAVE SEEN BEATLES RECORDS IN WORSE CONDITION, SO IT STILL MAY BE PLAYABLE.
ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, PLEASE ASK.
VERY LOW STARTING BID, NO RESERVE.
CAN POST WORLDWIDE, BUT WILL HAVE TO BE FULLY END TO END TRACKABLE. VERY SAFELY PACKED FOR SHIPPING.
HOWEVER, FREE COLLECTION FROM ME WOULD BE IDEAL IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN- LANDFORD, NEAR SALISBURY, WILTSHIRE SP5 2BE.
CAN I KINDLY REMIND BUYERS THAT DUE TO POSTAL STRIKES THERE MAY BE LONG DELAYS IN RECEIVING THIS ITEM THROUGH THE POST, EITHER IN UK OR WORLDWIDE, SO PLEASE ALLOW EXTRA TIME FOR DELIVERY. I CANNOT GUARANTEE DELIVERY BY CHRISTMAS, AND FOR WORLDWIDE CUSTOMERS, I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST FOR ME TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS BEFORE SENDING, WHEN HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL BE A LITTLE EASIER. AS I SAID, COLLECTION FROM ME WOULD BE BY FAR THE BEST AND QUICKEST OPTION, OR WE MAY BE ABLE TO DELIVER WITHIN REASON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
