Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Small Faces called "Small Faces" and is an ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Immediate label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE SMALL FACES RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1967 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS FULLY 'FACTORY SEALED' AND HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED OR PLAYED SINCE IT WAS SEALED UP BACK AT THE FACTORY IN 1967!!!! AND THIS SURELY HAS TO MAKE THIS LP COMPLETELY UNIQUE!!!! BACK IN 1967 UK RECORD COMPANIES WERE ONLY JUST STARTING TO 'FACTORY SEAL' THEIR RECORDS. IN THE U.S.A. THEY HAD BEEN 'FACTORY SEALING' THEIR RECORDS FOR YEARS (TO AVOID DAMAGE IN DELIVERY), BUT IN THE UK UP UNTIL THE MID 1960s NO ONE EVER BOTHERED. PYE HAD EXPERIMENTED WITH LARGE OVERSIZED 'SEALED' PLASTIC SLEEVES IN THE EARLY 1960s, AND IN THE 1950s LONDON HAD OCCASIONALLY 'SEALED' THEIR INNER SLEEVES INSIDE THE COVER WITH 'STICKERS' SAYING 'BREAKING SEAL' ETC!!!! BUT IT WASNT UNTIL THE MID 1960s IN THE UK WHEN DECCA FIRST STARTED THE TREND AND STARTED 'FACTORY SEALING' SOME OF THEIR 'CLASSICAL LPs' - BUT THIS DIDNT EXTEND TO POP RECORDS AT THE TIME. HOWEVER, WITH THE MORE WIDESPREAD USE OF 'UNLAMINATED COVERS' ON POP & ROCK RECORDS IN THE LATE 1960s (WHICH WORE OUT FAR QUICKER THAN THE THICK EARLY 1960s LAMINATED COVERS, AND WERE EASY TO DAMAGE ON DELIVERY) OTHER RECORD COMPANIES STARTED 'FACTORY SEALING' THEIR RECORDS ASWELL. AND THIS LP WAS ONE OF THEM!!!! AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE FROM THE PICTURES - THAT THIS IS THE 100% GENIUNE 1967 'FACTORY SEAL' (AND NOT SOME KIND OF LATER 'RE-COVERING'!) AS THE COVER INSIDE IS 100% WHITE, THE FLIPBACKS ARE 100% PERFECT, AND THE COVER FRONT IS COMPLETELY UNRUBBED!!!! THE ACTUAL SEAL ON THE COVER FRONT IS INDEED A LITTLE RUBBED (AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IN ITS JOB OF PROTECTING THE COVER & RECORD INSIDE!), BUT THE RECORD COVER INSIDE IS PERFECTLY PURE BLACK, AND COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED!!!! SO FOR THOSE WHO THOUGHT YOU COULD NEVER GO BACK TO 1967 AGAIN AND FIND AN UNTOUCHED MINT 'FACTORY MADE' RECORD AGAIN - NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!!! AND LETS BE HONEST - THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL EVER GET!!!!
FINDING A MINT / UNPLAYED / SEALED / UNTOUCHED UK MONO PRESSING FROM 1967???? THIS WILL SURELY BE OR ONLY EVER CHANCE TO OWN THE BEST CONDITIONED UK MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP - LEFT IN EXISTENCE!!!!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1967 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS IMMEDIATE LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK 'PATENTS PENDING' MONO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (WILL YOU EVER SEE ANOTHER ONE?) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Immediate UK 1st Pressing from 1967 and is in MINT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is IMLP 008 on the 1st Press Immediate Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!
1) The record labels will naturally be in MINT condition and completely UNTOUCHED and UNPLAYED - and have NEVER seen the light of day since they were made back in 1967!!!!
2) And the same must go for the record!!!! It is MINT and UNPLAYED and EXACTLY as it left the Factory back in 1967!!!!
3) The inner sleeve again will be MINT and untouched since it was packed inside the cover back in 1967!!!!
4) The cover & seal!!!! Now this is VERY important indeed!!!! On some sealed records there is often 'breakage' along the opening edge - which casts doubt on whether the record has been accessed or not. In this case - the opening edge of the cover is 100% FULLY SEALED!!!! So not even AIR would have got into this cover since 1967!!!! The spine of the cover is also FULLY sealed - and is PERFECT condition, being perfectly WHITE!!!! The cover back is in PERFECT condition and again FULLY sealed!!!! The cover front is completely UNRUBBED and again FULLY sealed!!!! In fact the ONLY breaks in the seal at all (each being absolutely TINY!) is a couple of the top edge, and a couple on the bottom!!!! But ready these are so VERY small - that they dont even deserve to be calls 'breaks' in the seal - more like TINY 'airholes' that have slightly enlarged over time!!!! So basically this cover is 100% MINT and even the 'Factory Seal' is 98% MINT!!!! And even for those who will want to examine this cover microscopically - the ONLY thing you will find is 2 TINY dark stains on the VERY bottom edge of the cover (where the TINY 'factory seal' holes are!!!! Quite what they are I do not know - but they are so very VERY small, they are almost IMPOSSIBLE to notice - even in my close up pictures!!!! So in short:-
LABELS:- MINT / SEALED!!!!
RECORD:- MINT / SEALED!!!!
INNER:- MINT / SEALED!!!!
COVER:- MINT(Minus) / SEALED!!!!
WHEN WILL YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO OWN A MINT / SEALED UK MONO 1ST PRESSING LIKE THIS ONE AGAIN???? THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY NEVER!!!! SO DONT OUT ON THIS SURELY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY - TO OWN A REAL 'PIECE OF HISTORY'!!!!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask! EXTRA CONDITION OF SALE FOR THIS LP ONLY!!!! IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A RETURN - I WILL ONLY ACCEPT THIS LP BACK INTO MY HANDS IF THE CONDITION IS EXACT TO MY SENDING AND THIS INCLUDES THE 'FACTORY SEAL' AS IT IS PART OF ITS ANTIQUITY. IF THE SEAL IS BROKEN OR DAMAGED IN ANYWAY - THEN THE ITEM WILL BE TREATED AS 'DAMAGED' (AS IT SURELY IS!) AND THE RETURN CANNOT BE ACCEPTED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THE 'FACTORY SEAL' IS PART & ESSENTIAL TO THE INTEGRAL VALUE OF THIS LP.
