Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

Relisted due to timewaster - Please only bid if you can pay.

John Lee Hooker – Burning Hell - Earliest 1st UK Blue Riverside Labels – Mono - Very Rare Press - 1964 - Earliest 1st UK Mono Pressing – Flipback Mono Sleeve - Great Condition Vinyl and Nice Sleeve

RLP 008

1964

Side 1 has no marks or scratches, Side 2 has 2 light scratches near edge, Both sides have a faint hazy pattern from the original inner sleeve, Apart from that, on both sides, there are some extremely light sleeve removal marks...Great Condition but does have the haze. The Record has been stored for years and will benefit from a proper clean, I will let the new owner do this.

PLAYTESTED fully and it plays all the way through with no sticks, jumps or skips. The Audio Is Strong, Vibrant and Clear with No Lessening In Sound Quality. There is light static in the quiet parts, which during the louder tracks is not noticable. A Really Great Listen.

Labels are clean, No wear or damage, light signs of being played under strong light (spiders legs)...see photos Great Labels

Earliest Laminated Front, Unlaminated Back, Mono Sleeve has some wear, Front is flat and clean and still glossy with light rubbing mainly near bottom, there are a few tiny creases from edges and a little laminate bubbling along spine edge and 2 small grazes at the bottom, Top left corner has wear, top right has light wear, other Corners are crisp. Top edge has no wear except for near left corner and Bottom Edge has no wear, Opening edge has only the slightest trace of wear (two patches of light bubbling), traces of old selotape residue along front opening edge, inside opening and a brown line along back opening edge, Spine is fully readable with no wear but some flattening, The back is still pretty white with no rubbing/fading, small numbers in pen top left....A Nice Used example of this rare sleeve that is very flimsy. See Photos

Original White Foreign Patent Pending Polylined Inner is flat and still pretty clean with no splits or damage just a couple of light creases.

A Very Rare Earliest 1st UK Press Mono LP In Great condition.


I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?
