FAMILY       Music In A Doll's House         (UK) Reprise  RLP 63120

      This is an original 1968 UK Reprise Mono pressing of Family's amazing debut, "Music In A Doll's House". One of the best UK psych debuts ever. Vastly underrated. Monophonic mix is quite different (and more revealing) than stereo mix. Rick Grech's contributions to this lp cannot be overstated. Rare in mono format, even rarer with original band photo insert.  

Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has RLP 6312 A - 3G etched into the run-out. Side 2 has RLP 6312 B - 3G etched into the run-out. Original 1968 UK Mono Reprise pressing. 

Vinyl Visual Grade:  VG with lots of light marking. NOTHING DEEP. Small tear on Side 1 label. Has been played quite a lot but still retains decent appearance. Could stand with a good cleaning.

Vinyl Play Grade: VG/VG+ with EXCELLENT monophonic fidelity. A lot of life left in this one. Most of the lp plays VG+. 

Cover Visual Grade: VG+ at best with general wear but very little ring/rubbing wear. Small pen mark rear cover. All in all a very nice example - see pictures. 

COMES WITH VERY RARE ORIGINAL INNER BAND PHOTO (VG with some creasing lower left/top right corners and a small 1" tear right middle near Grech - see pictures). Inner sleeve is probably non-original UK poly-lined paper inner. LP is housed in additional rice-plastic style inner.

 Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.

ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.

ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:

M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.

NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.

VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.

VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.

G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.

I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.

ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.

I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS. 

SHIPPING FEES:

Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.

ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.  

Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.

Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
