Description
I am selling items from my personal collection formed over 40 years. I am not a dealer so I know the history of these records, many of which I bought new at the time of release and have carefully stored (mostly in plastic sleeves) in a smoke free house. I have never cleaned my records apart from the odd use of a record brush or cloth so they are in very original condition. If you have any questions please email me.
Marc Bolan UK first pressing white label: The Unobtainable T Rex
Original pressing by EMI: NUT 28
This is a copy of the very first issue of this compilation featuring B sides and missed singles from the Great Hits album issued a few years before. Normally not a rare record to find but this is the pre-release pressing on a white label intended as a promo. What makes it even more special is that it was printed with the WRONG picture on the reverse as it shows Marc sticking his tongue out. The picture taken by famous photographer Terry O'Neill was subsequently replaced for the general release by another from the same session.
Condition: the sleeve is in presentable vg condition (see scans) but as only a few sleeves were printed it is almost impossible to find today. The vinyl has been played a handful of times so is in ex condition and it comes with an EMI plastic inner.
I grade conservatively and only list an item as mint if it is still shrink wrapped unlike most sellers who are optimistic to say the least. That way my buyers are more than satisfied and reflect this in my feedbacks. Please check them for yourself. Remember, these are vintage collectors items and not new pressings.
I normally send the records in a professional record mailer by first class signed post to ensure that they arrive quickly and in great condition. If you buy more than one item I am happy to combine on postage costs with the second vinyl normally being free.
