Debut LP- RCA- Black label First Press LPM- 3584 Matrix- tprm-0171-13s / tprm-0172--1s This is the LP that the " thought police" at RCA did not have the time to censor. The lyrics on " Run Around" and " Let Me In" are from the  first press. This LP contains 11 Tracks. Side 1 plays VG+ to NM/  Cuts 1 thru 4  play VG+to NM/  Cut 5 has a visible and audible scratch that results in about 20 seconds of light ticking / the cut still sounds VG there is little to no audible needle between cuts! Side 2 Sounds VG to VG+/ Cut 1 plays VG with about 20 seconds of light ticking during the intro cut 2 plays VG with a few light tics and an" Accented Note" due to a light scratch ( does not seem to skip- I just listened to a copy on the internet and the note on my LP is more pronounced) cut 3 plays VG with a one second pop Cuts 4 -6 Play VG+ / Vinyl looks VG  I played this in the 60's when I bought it and not much since. This record was released on August 15 1966 and I picked it up on Sept.10 of 1966. LP still sounds Great !!!  Cover is VG+ /Art work is VG+ Seams are tight with just slight fraying/ Spine is tight and writing is clear/ there is just a 3/4 inch spot beginning to peel and the y and n on Dynagroove are also beginning to peel. Ratings are in ink. Please see photo's.
 I have play tested every listed album using Goldmine and Metrowax as my grading guides and the ratings are based mostly on what i hear. I purchased every album brand new and always removed the shrink in an attempt to avoid warping, (Old wives tale?) and all were played only on a diamond needle. . All records are from my personal collection unless otherwise noted. Most of the early and mid-60’s LP’s include the “Russo record rating system” – these ratings are written in ink and include purchase date, price and store . The majority contain original inner sleeves and if not a sleeve will be included. Please see photo’s for spindle wear and label condition and the song listings .My life has finally permitted me to listen to and evaluate every record I’ve ever owned; as a result I have chosen to sell a portion of my personal collection. Please email any questions.  International shipping will be the actual cost + $1
