Description
This is a mono 1969 re-issue of the UK 1968 Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band Pye release‘Safe As Milk’ on Pye, with 2 tracks deleted ("I'm Glad" and"Grown So Ugly") in Pye's budget series "Marble Arch"sleeve.
Pye used their "PYE International" pale blue label for this release, rather than the regular yellow "Marble Arch" label.
This particular copy hovers between a VG+ and EX, as while the record has a few minor marks of little concern it does bears some minor background crackle; requiring a more serious clean to restore this – but saying that it plays acceptably to the ear as-is.
This is a great copy of an unusual UK pressing, so grab a classic album on vinyl!

FYI:
This is a collection being sold on behalf of a client, whom has been collecting some 50 years. It includes many 1st owner and 1st pressing items - the majority of which are EX condition records in EX/VG+ graded sleeves due to spine wear; having been stored on a shelf without plastic sleeving.
I operate the online-sales arm of a UK record shop and therefore aim to ensure accuracy in grading – I visually grade unless I can feel a mark which warrants further play-testing.
Many of the discs themselves only have very minor marks, but do have groove buildup due to not having been out in years - while I have hand-cleaned with Isopropyl solution and a microfibre (and then tested where needed), some have resulting minor background crackle and really would sound fantastic with a further session on a professional cleaning machine!
Starting-prices have been chosen competitively given Discogs and Popsike, and items will be safely packaged for postage; with discs firstly decanted into new separate inners, that inner and the sleeve then being placed in a new plastic outer sleeve and then shipped using professional grade record-mailers.
1) Please request an invoice before making payment if you wish for an alternative postage option based on where you live, see options below.
2) I reserve the right to request tracked postage only on high-value items.
3) I only send to Russia via tracked postage due to previous mailers disappearing!
