This is the Mega Rare UK `Thick Vinyl` Pressing on the Pink/Black Pye Label in `Garrod & Lofthouse` flipback front laminated sleeve - Matrix/Runout Groove - NPL18156 A1 H/NPL18156 B1 H
Rarity - Absolutely! This is the 1st ever 1966 issue on HEAVY chunky Vinyl on the original Pink Pye Label with black lettering with front laminated sleeve with flipback flaps folded over white backboard in Lovely condition, a real Gem this one!!!!
Vinyl - `THICK`! vinyl as you would expect on a 1st issue 60`s Classic!! Plays Superb, Looks Mint under normal light, even under bright spotlight scrutiny there are only the lightest of scuffs, a real TOP Copy!!
Labels - UNDAMAGED & CLEAN Labels - Even under bright lights I can only see 2 spindle lines THAT'S ALL!!, this record has had very little play!! - `made in England` credits, comes with factory polylined `USE EMITEX` inner sleeve!
Sleeve - Original front laminated `Garrod & Lofthouse` with fold over flaps, Lovely Spine with some minimal laminate creasing just starting to show Ringwear on laminate but not worn through at all, No edge Wear at all, Very slight feathering on opening but not too bad, the White back card is in Amazing condition and doesn't suffer from the usual grubbiness that these 60`s LP`s did with finger marks this is due to it being stored in a plastic sleeve most of its life, all the flaps are well in tact with no rips at all!! - a Really Nice Copy!! - NO Graffiti/NO Tears/NO Sticky Label Problems etc !!
Musically - If you have never heard this Lp before what you get is 1 side of Jimmy James and the Vagabonds and 1 Side of the Alan Bown Set both Live in London in the Swinging 60`s at The Marquee Club`, it`s really up tempo stuff very Mod/Freakbeat/Northern Soul etc and very exciting!!!

Just a note on Grading - I always play grade my records right through and unless stated they do not jump, skip or stick when played!!! I always view the vinyl under a very bright halogen spotlight!!! Why? because although I have excellent vision when viewed under a normal light or even worse a fluorescent tube (most shops have these) the vinyl will not show up how marked it truly is - some view records in daylight but this has to be done in direct sunlight to see the hidden marks - I do this so that I can give the full picture and should please even the most `critical` of collectors. Also I photograph the WHOLE of the cover (I don't cut off the corners or edge) so you can see as close as possible what you will receive!!
Postage/packing: I use new professional record mailers with several cardboard stiffeners to protect the cover - the record will be placed in a NEW clean inner sleeve, removed from the record cover (saves ringwear/pushing through seams) and together with original old inner placed in a NEW pvc outer sleeve - I also include recorded delivery as standard in the overall cost in the UK (70p) it covers up to £30 in case of loss - it will be optional for international packages (as it is more expensive) but still advisable! - please note complete postage charges (below) before bidding!
Payment - I am quite patient but if I have waited a couple of weeks for money and sent reminders unless there is a good reason I will claim back my fees and give a nonpaying bidder strike - I don't charge for Paypal!
Returns - If you feel there are any problems with an item you have purchased please feel free to contact me - I will be glad to discuss the matter as I want people to be happy with their purchase!!!
