"Deep Purple : Shades Of Deep Purple" LP 1968 (Made In India)

Rare and hard to find LP.

All images from actual item only. What you see here is exactly what you get. Any western artist's LP in India is always a rare item because of limited pressings due to very narrow listener base. And like in any other tropical country, heat and dust plays an important part in quick degradation of lp and sleeve. Damaged grooves due to worn out styli is also a big problem. I have tried to describe anything unusual that naked eye can detect. Please check the pics yourself and in case of any question/doubts/wants, feel free to contact me.

Most of the collectors interested in this record because of historic value and not for listening pleasure. So i have given more emphasis on visual condition but i have also included a sound clip to give you the best idea about play condition. You can listen almost all songs in this clip (few seconds each).

Please note it is raw clip from record and no sound editing / noise or click removal software is used. Format mp3 - 192 Kbps. If you face any problem, please let me know.

Auction Details :

Item

Record : VG to VG +(visual basis). Side 1 is better than side 2. Clean and shiny surface still has its luster, there are no scratches but there are 2 or 3 tiny hairline type marks visible on close inspection. Plays VG- to VG with background noise that chnages from track to track. I strongly advice you to listen the sound clip. It will give you much better idea.

Sleeve : VG to VG +. All three sides are intact and no seam split (except 1 cm area at the bottom left corner side). Record name is clearly visible on spine and there is no writing of any kind (very rare in India). Minor stain marks at back side and half cm long crease at extreme top left corner due to load / pressure or improper handling. Rare to find such a nice sleeve specially from the 60s or before that period. Non laminated thick cardboard type sleeve.

For labels, please see images.

Payment And Shipping :

Payment by Paypal. Some other methods are also available. Please contact me if you are unable to use paypal.

Shipping for this LP is $ 14 worldwide by registered airmail. It is a secure shipping method and signature of receiver is required. LPs will be packed in lp mailer boxes with extra strong stuffers made up of corrugated cardboard. If you buy more than one LP, then shipping is $ 4 extra per item. If you purchase multiple items and unable to see discounted shipping then please wait for invoice. Double LP set for shipping will count as 2 items. I can ship this by surface mail and shipping is $4 worldwide but it is highly discouraged due to long shipping time (3 to 6 months).

Delivery time by registered airmail takes 7 Days to 4 weeks in 95% cases. Normally 80 % foreign destined items reach within 14 days to respective countries. Shipping duration is not country dependent, for example sometimes items reach within 4 days to same country and sometimes they take up to 28 days to same country. However some countries have good shipping time than others. For USA and most of the european and asian countries, shipping time is 7 to 14 days in 80% cases and less than 20 days in 90% cases. But for countries like Italy / Brazil / Israel / Indonesia where custom procedure is slow, shipping time is 7 to 14 days in 50% cases, less than 20 days in 70% cases and less than 25 days in 95 % cases.

PLEASE NOTE : As per ebay rule, seller has to specify at least one shipping mode to US buyers for which charges are within ebay's permitted limit. So i have added surface shipping for USA buyers. It is $4 per 78 rpm record but it is highly discouraged due to long shipping time (3 to 6 months). Actual surface shipping is still higher but that way i will lose less money.
