Description
Signed 1965 The Moody Blues - The Magnificent Moodies LP- Decca LK4711 - XARL6869-2A/XARL6870-2A - Mono. All original record, cover and inner sleeve from 1965, in generally fair condition. The back of the outer cover has been signed ( in green felt marker pen) by all the Moodies, Dennie Laine, Ray Thomas, Mike Pinder, Graeme Edge and Clint Warwick. This was done for me, in front of me, at a function in Luton Tech at some time between 1966 and 1969. I was involved in the running of dances there at that time, so I can verify these signatures as genuine. In addition to the signatures, there is some annotation on the cover, inner sleeve and record. There is some damage to the record label on side 2 where it looks as if a sticker of some sort has come off. There are some wear marks and creases on the front face of the cover, where the disc has been in place, and also there is wear to the corners. All the joined edges are intact and the spine is readable. The colours are clean and bright. The rear face is a bit grubby and discoloured with age, but with no tears or repairs. The print is clear, undamaged and readable. There are no repairs/reinforcing to the original inner sleeve, but there are creases at both sides and at a bottom corner. The inner sleeve has some slight discolouration due to age. Record plays very well on all tracks with good definition. There is a possible scratch briefly at the start of the last track on side 1 and also possibly briefly at the start of the last track on side 2. However these might not be actual scratches and could well be rectified by a deep clean. There is light background crackle on both sides, but mainly between tracks. There is some scratches and scuffing visible on both sides of the vinyl, but this does not seem to affect the sound quality on most tracks. This is why I have rated the disc Good + rather than Very Good. This LP has only ever been cleaned with soap and water, so I believe it would benefit from a deep clean. The outer sleeve is in a plastic cover to protect the signatures, which are perhaps the main interest point of this LP. My LP collection has been stored upright in boxes for some years mostly without being played, so now I am disposing of my record collection because of downsizing. Happy to combine postage. Tracks on this album are as follows:
Side One:
1. I'll Go Crazy 2. Something You Got 3. Go Now 4. Can't Nobody Love You 5. I Don't Mind 6. I've Got A Dream
Side Two:
1. Let Me Go 2. Stop 3. Thank You Baby 4. It Ain't Necessarily So 5. True Story 6. Bye Bye Bird
