Description
(Pye Records 7N 15953 UK 7" Single 1965)
This is a 1965l UK 7" Single 1st pressing. Playback is great! The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has paper Pye labels which have a 4 pronged centre. The record has 1st press 7N 15953 A1 and 7N 15953 B1 matrix numbers. These are machine stamped in the dead wax. It comes complete with its original company "Pye" paper sleeve.
This is a genuine UK 1st pressing. The A-side is a classic UK Northern Soul/ Mod Dancer track. It is available to hear on Youtube if you are unfamiliar with the track. I have some other rare and collectible UK original 1960's Northern Soul/ Mod Dance 7" Singles for sale. So please see my other listings. Don't miss out!
Vinyl: This single was kept in an outer clear PVC sleeve for some period. This, over time, has reacted with the vinyl & has left some light, mild or more moderate surface PVC marks on some areas. They are mainly on the A-side. They can only be seen under a strong light. These do not affect playback in any way at all.
There is a mild 3 cm hairline surface mark on the B-side. There is also a mild 2 cm hairline surface mark on the B-side. There is a light 2 cm hairline surface mark on the A-side. Otherwise, there are some light, mild, very mild or more moderate surface sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. The A-side is in Good condition. The B-side is in Good++ condition. Overall, this single is in Good+ condition. The Labels are in Near Excellent condition and show mild or very mild spindle wear only.
The original Pye company paper sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this single in its entirety. The A-side plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. The B-side plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent overall. There is some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. Overalll, a very decent audio copy!
I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper sleeve. This will protect the original picture sleeve from any damage during the shipping process.
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 = A perfect copy! Almost impossible to find like this.
NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, There may be a very few, very light paper surface sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. The sleeve is virtually perfect - there is very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows minimal defects. There will be light, very mild or very minor surface sleeve rubs. There will be no scratches. The cover will be very nice & clean with maybe minimal creasing, ringwear or edge rubbing wear etc...
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times, but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only. The sleeve may have light, mild or very mild creasing,ringwear & very mild rubbing wear to the edges etc.... Overall, it will be a very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
Very Good Condition = A well played but very decent overall copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears etc... The record will not be trashed!!
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 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.
