Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90% of the LP's I've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, I've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, I'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!

I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered",weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

About : Ultra Rare Parlophone 1963 PYE CONTRACT UK Original!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!


The LP :


Labels :

Classic UK yellow & black heavyweight PYE CONTRACT Parlophone labels!!! Both sides are GREAT with NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has some spindle marking from general use over the years!!! GREAT for a 61 year old record!!! Both must grade overall as Good!!!

Record : Visual -

Spectacular UK Original 1963 PYE CONTRACT Parlophone Vinyl!!! Nice bright, and shiny with fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks OK with NO really excessively nasty marks, NO deep scratches that ruin playback, and NO excessively vicious scuffs either!!! It just has quite a bit of general age wear such as a few of the usual light, wispy sleeve traces, some obvious but still fairly light scuffs and scratches, and a few mild hairlines (only visible in angled light) mostly from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these blemishes interfere with smoothness of play at all thanks to the quality deeply pressed Pye contract vinyl!! Used but still GREAT for a record of this sheer rarity!!! Must grade overall visually at least as Fair++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)


Record : Audio -


Thankfully, it plays GREAT with fantastic mono blast and clarity!!! It plays through smoothly with NO hops, sticks, or skips!!! Only has some general surface noise, some spells of ticking here and there as to be expected and a bit of "bluesman's fag" static crackle in places such as between tracks and on the quieter sections, but it really doesn't overshadow the excellent music AT ALL!!! (it's mostly more atmospheric rather than the sound of bacon frying!!!) I'd even argue it gives it added soul!!! Still a very enjoyable listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear!!! GOOD for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audiably as Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)


Sleeve :


Original 1963 UK 1st press front laminated earliest dark exposure G&L "patents pending" flipback sleeve complete with original unsplit emitex inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT too bad at all, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO tears, NO splits, NO graffiti, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has a few signs of minor ageing such as creasing and a touch of a record imprint, some storage flaking/ruffling to the openings and some general light ageing to the unlaminated back such as some general mild age toning and feint sticker remains to the top right (nothing drastic at all - no nasty stains, coffee cup rings, ugly grubbiness, writing OR graffiti whatsoever), a strong superglue seam repair along two thirds of the top edge and some general rubbing wear here and there to the edges with some denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! Despite ageing, this remains a great vintage sleeve and a rarity to find one as complete, vibrant and presentable as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! The iconic pic look brilliant!!! It remains strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains solid, unsplit and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall at least as Fair++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : An UNBELIEVABLY RARE PYE CONTRACT example of this INCREDIBLY RARE 61 year old classic Mono PYE CONTRACT 1963 UK Pressing LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition!!! BELIEVE ME, YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
