Pye NPL 18233 1968 MONO

This is the sale of my 700 + vinyl LP collection.  The vast majority of these records will be in excellent condition and all will have been played without any skipping.  Sleeves will generally show more wear but I will try to describe them accurately.  However, they have all been (well) stored for many years and in the absence of anything decent to play them on now, all condition gradings are visual.  If anyone buys one or more of these and is unhappy with my grading, provided the buyer is being sensible and reasonable, I will accept returns for a full refund.

Vinyl: VG - surface marks/scratches - see following notes.  I HAVE NOW PLAYED IT ON A REGA PLANAR II / ORTOFON WITH FEATHERLIGHT TRACKING; BAD NEWS IS THAT IT SKIPS ON "WICKED ANNABELLA" WHERE THERE IS A SMALL LOCALISED SCRATCH, AND SOUND QUALITY ALSO SUFFERED HERE.  (IT MAY WELL BE THAT IT WILL PLAY BETTER WITH A HEAVIER TRACKING CARTRIDGE - THIS SET-UP CAN BE VERY UNFORGIVING!)  THERE IS ANOTHER SIMILAR MARK ON THE NEXT TRACK, "MONICA", BUT NO SKIPPING AND SOUND QUALITY WAS OK.  THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE REST PLAYS FINE WITH LOVELY MONO SOUND QUALITY (ALBEIT WITH OCCASIONAL CLICKS AND SURFACE NOISE, BUT NOTHING THAT SOUNDED ANYWHERE NEAR OBJECTIONABLE IN MY OPINION).  
Labels -  spindle marks but no labels, other marks or writing.
Gatefold sleeve is in generally fair condition with plenty of wear but still very much intact.  Most of the wear is to the single leaf front which has plenty of wear around the top and bottom edges.  It also has some small laminate crease plus the remains of a very small rectangular label in the top right hand corner.  The back section has wear to the bottom and left hand edges and spine (text only partly legible).  The inside faces are OK apart from edge wear (particularly on the left hand single-leaf face).  No other tears, writing, labels or marks.

If anyone's interested anyone wants to see more pix/info, please let me know.

Each LP will be packed in decent quality board packaging.  The record sleeve will be have a clear cover.
