ATTENTION THE BEACH BOYS AND 1960s LP COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1966 1ST MONO ISSUE OF AN ESSENTIAL BEACH BOYS ALBUM:"PET SOUNDS" ON THE EMI PRESSED CAPITOL "RAINBOW RIM" LABELS WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "SOLD IN UK" TEXT ABOVE THE CAPITOL LOGOS WHICH ARE ON THE LEFT OF THE LABELS WITH LATER REPRESSES HAVING DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGNS!:

T 2458-THICK VINYL AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES.

IN 1966 MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON EQUIPMENT OFTEN THAT HAD HEAVY PICKUPS AND RADIOGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGED THE USE OF AUTO-CHANGERS THAT WOULD SCUFF AND SCRATCH THE DELICATE GROOVES.

THIS EXAMPLE HAS BEEN PLAYED AND ENJOYED WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE AS WELL SOME ISOLATED "POPS" BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

HOUSED IN THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE PLAIN WHITE CURVED EDGES INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" TEXT AND THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAVING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS PENDING" TEXT. I AM ALSO INCLUDING AN EMI/CAPITOL LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE FROM 1966 THAT INCLUDES "PET SOUNDS" AND OTHER BEACH BOYS LPs THAT ALSO HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" TEXT.PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE FULL TRACK LISTING! THE DISC IS SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD CONDITION.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT.

 THE COVER HAS A NAME IN BIRO PEN AT THE BACK,SOME STAINING AND SOME MINOR CREASES(MOSTLY AT THE EDGES)BUT THERE IS NO RIPS OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE MAGNIFICENT AND ESSENTIAL LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW.  PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME. 

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
