The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
(Elektra Records EUK 258 UK Mono LP 1968)
This is a 1968 UK Mono 1st pressing LP in very nice overall condition! It has a heavyweight fully laminated sleeve. The sleeve has a factory "pinched" top & bottom spine. It also has an original late 1960's "Harlequin" record shop sticker on the rear sleeve. This is at the bottom edge, near the spine. It comes with its original generic company plain paper inner sleeve. It also comes complete with its original 4 page Lyric/ Information Insert. This is printed on quality pink paper.
The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has part textured, part smooth orange & black "Elektra" labels. The record has 1st press EUK 258 A1 and EUK 258 B1 matrix numbers.
This is a genuine UK Mono 1st pressing of this classic UK Acid Folk LP from 1968. Complete with the lyric insert too. I have some other rare & collectible original 1960's & 1970's Prog Rock, Psych & Folk LP's for sale too. So please see my other listings. Don't miss out!
Sleeve: As stated, the sleeve has its original late 1960's record shop sticker on the rear sleeve(see photos). There is some mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, very mild or very minor rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This hardly notices. There is a very mild 4 cm hairline laminate crease on the front sleeve. There are about 10 small & light horizontal creases at the spine area. These measure from 1 cm to 1.5 cm in length. There is a tiny pin-head sized stain near the top of the spine face. Otherwise, the spine is in very nice condition. The spine text is perfectly legible. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear on some areas. This is mainly on the front sleeve. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl: There is a minuscule 0.3 cm hairline surface mark two-thirds of the way through the 1st track on Side 1. This causes some intermittent mild or very mild clicks for a brief period (Please see below for a thorough playback description). There is a very mild 1 cm hairline surface mark on Side 2. There is a light 1 cm hairline surface sleeve rub mark at the start of Side 1. This is not that noticeable under a strong light. There is a 2 cm hairline surface sleeve rub mark on Side 2. Again, this hardly really notices under a strong light.
Otherwise, there are some light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The original inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. There is a small area of more moderate surface sleeve rubs, or surface rub marks, on Side1. Overall, Very Good+ condition. The labels are in Very Near Excellent condition and show light or very mild spindle wear only. The original company plain paper inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear. There is mild to more moderate rippling & creasing. There are no seam splits.
The 4 Page Lyric Insert is in Excellent condition. There are a very few light, very mild or very minor handling creases. The insert has no rips or tears. It is in great condition.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety. As stated, there is a tiny 0.3 cm hairline mark two-thirds of the way through the 1st track on Side 1. This causes approximately 15 mild or very mild intermittent clicks. It does not jump. Overall, Side 1 plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent and Excellent in many places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. Side 2 plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall & Excellent+ in some places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. There is a mild click on one track. Overall, a very decent audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can barely be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
Very Good Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light, mild or very mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not too far from being in "Near Excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
(Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
