If you like good music, bid now!

The LP :

Labels :

Classic textured orange CBS 33 “Recording First Published 1964” text UK 1st Press labels! Both sides are FANTASTIC with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks from general careful light use over the years! AWESOME for a 53 year old record! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good+!

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original 1964 UK 1st Press Vinyl! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT with NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever! The only blemishes are just some light wispy sleeve traces, a few mild hairlines and age marks, and just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs (only visible in direct angled light) mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality! BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity! Must grade overall 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 BRILLIANTLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity! It really sounds AWESOME with NO hisses, hops, skips OR sticks! Only like pretty much ALL records has just a mere touch of the lightest crackle here and there, only a small amount of ultra light ticks here and there on very rare occasions, and just 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 1964 UK 1st Press vinyl! An outstanding listen! Absolutely ESSENTIAL! FANTASTIC 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 1964 UK 1st press Mono front laminated pasted on sleeve complete with original unsplit inner! 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 FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves! NO writing, NO graffiti, NO seam splits, NO really bad marks AT ALL, and still ultra strong and solid after all these years! This sleeve only has a few signs of very mild ageing such as literally just one or two tiny ultra light edge creases (NO half moons!) and possibly the merest ghost of a record imprint, only a small amount of incredibly light age toning to the still bright and remarkably unaged unlaminated back (minimal and nothing drastic - NO writing, graffiti, nasty marks, ugly grubbiness, coffee cup stains or anything like that at all!), a touch of denting to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!) 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 emphasizing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this remains a truly PHENOMENAL unbelievable earliest ever pasted back sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as outstanding 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 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)

Summary : An OUTSTANDING TRUE DAY OF RELEASE EARLIEST EVER example of this INCREDIBLY RARE classic original 1964 Mono RFP 1964 “33” pasted back UK 1st Press LP! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS FANTASTIC 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!
