Love Sculpture - Blues Helping
(Parlophone PMC 7059 UK LP 1968)
This is a UK Mono 1st pressing LP in great overall condition! It has a heavyweight front laminated flipback sleeve. This has a factory "pinched" top & bottom spine. It comes with its original generic "EMI" company paper inner sleeve. This advertises other LP's available at the time. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has black & yellow "Parlophone" labels. These have the "Sold in UK..." text. The "KT" tax code is embossed around the spindle hole on Side 1. It has 1st press matrix numbers. These are XEX 701-2 and XEX 702-1. The mother stampers are G 1 and G 1 respectively.
A genuine UK 1st pressing. This is the rarer "Mono" copy too. It has the earliest matrix numbers and mother stampers. As well as the "Sold in UK..." label text. A great late 1960's UK Blues/ Blues-Psych-Rock LP. These are not that common. I have some other rare & collectable 1960's. early 1970's UK Blues/ Psych/ Prog LP's. So please see my other listings. Don't miss out!
Sleeve: There is some mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This hardly really notices. There is some mild or very mild fading to the "white" areas of the rear sleeve. There is mild fading to the spine face. Otherwise, the spine is in very nice condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very Good+ condition.
Vinyl: It doesn't look to have been played very much. It still gleams like new! There are a very few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can only be seen under a strong light. There is an extremely small & light 0.5 cm hairline surface rub mark. This hardly really notices under a strong light. Overall, a strong EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear only. The company paper inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & fading. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect in many places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a very few quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. Overall, a great audio copy!

(Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
