For sale here I have a copy of of The Incredible String Bands - The Hangmans Beautiful Daughter. This is an original 1968 mono press, released on the Elektra label. It has the red and black labels. This copy, unlike most, comes complete with the original lyric sheet.
The laminated cover is graded as VG. This is mostly due to the laminate creasing in various places. The whole cover is in tact, including the spine. Theres no rips or tears.
The vinyl is graded as VG due to a few visual surface scratches. Ive played over them though and they make little or no affect on playback. The one on side 1 looks like it would affect playback, but even during The Water Song, theres barely even the faintest of crackles to be heard.
Cat no EUK 258, a UK original
The boring bit
Most of the records I sell have been stored for many years, even decades. Some will have dust that can be seen by the eye, some may look clean but have deep seeded dust from being 40 or 50 years old. This may initially affect the playback quality. I work full time and have a young family so I don’t have time to play every record I list, so if you receive a record and it doesn’t sound as you think it should, please have it properly cleaned (with a good, well known record cleaner), before contacting me.
Please do not contact me asking for a part refund. I’ve had a few chancers simply looking for an excuse to claw some money back on their purchase, usually dealers (looking to maximise their sell on profits). Needless to say, this is not how I operate.
I am willing to post abroad. Please contact me for a price before bidding.
Please find below a grading system that I tend to go by. Hopefully with this there will be no confusion. Thanks
Very Good (VG)
A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use. It’s still useable, but it’ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-rated record often carries pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and it may have split edges. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, its use will be apparent—both visually and audibly.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
The next step up, a VG+ record has little faults. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub. Its audio will likely have slight background crackle. As with a VG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.
Excellent (E)
An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record. Its light marks will be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot of Ex-rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. A handful or less of hairlines may be present. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, and it’s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don’t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.
Mint (M)
A Mint record is perfect. It’s never been played, and it might’ve never been removed from its package. It’s fully sealed, and it has no blemishes or audio distortions.
