Description


FAIRPORT CONVENTION Unhalfbricking 1969 1st Press 

  Here we have a superb condition, matrix A1/B1, 1969 1st UK pressing of Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention on the original pink Island label, Catalogue ILPS-9102   I got this particular LP, along with a large collection of others, from a retired hi-fi engineer/ designer who was responsible for quite a few well known quality hi-fi separates during the late 80's and 90's and also wrote hi-fi reviews for the many of the major UK hi-fi mags. The latter had to be done under a psuedonym. Suffice to say this record has been very well looked after.

 

Vinyl: - Visually -  Top condition! Only played three or four times plus my test play. Deep almost just pressed shine with only very faint sleeve brushings under bright light. All non audible.

 

Playgrading - Absolute top audio. The record sounds as good as it did when new. Even between the tracks there is almost total silence. Flawless playback, you can hear every detail to pefection. FULLY MACHINE CLEANED BEFORE AUCTION

Sleeve: - Superb condition. This 39 year old unlaminated sleeve rarely survives as good as this one. I can only spot some very faint partial ringwear on the back. It is more visible above, in the second photo, than it is to the naked eye. In other respects the sleeve is in almost as new condition. Nice crisp edges and fully readable spine. No marks, rips, tears or creases. Must grade to very near EX+

This record seldom comes up for sale and even less so in such superb low played condition as this. Dont miss your chance!

  RECORDS GRADED TO RRPG STANDARDS

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.


Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.


Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.


Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.


Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.


Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.


Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

I also use +/- if I feel a record comes between a grade
