psych_out!
Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!! I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90% of the LP's I've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, I've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, I'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!! I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered",weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example). I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!! I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

About : Ultra Rare Original 1972 1T 1T TEST PRESS WHITE LABEL UK 1st!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!! The LP :Labels : Classic UK 1st Press EARLIEST EVER pre release glossy/shiny RCA test press white labels!!! Both sides are BRILLIANT with truly minimal ageing!!! Just has a smudged and faded “side 2” and some unintelligable writing to the far right of the B side with a tiny sticker tear and some vague evidence of minor stiker remains, and only a tiny amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this has barely had much play at all!!! AWESOME for a 45 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good+++!!!Record : Visual -Spectacular Original White Label 1972 UK 1st EVER Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks AWESOME!!! The only blemishes are just some light wispy sleeve traces, only a few very mild hairlines and age marks here and there and a small feelable “X” scratch on Rock & Roll Suicide (as seen in pic - the only thing stopping me grade this VG++++, mentioned in the audio grade) and just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs (only visible in direct angled light) mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these other ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality!!! AWESOME for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall at least as Good++++!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me) Record : Audio - Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity!!! In fact, other than a very LOUD rotational tick throughout much of the very last track only (Rock N Roll Suicide, caused by a mark mentioned in the visual - does not hop or skip on my deck, though it is not kind to the stylus!), but otherwise the whole LP really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, sticks OR skips!!! Only like pretty much ALL records has just a mere touch of the lightest crackle here and there, only a few light ticks here and there on rare occasions, and a hint of low level ultra light "bluesman's fag" atmospheric static in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections like the run in grooves and between some tracks e.t.c, but it TRULY doesn't overshadow the music AT ALL!!! I'd even argue it gives it added soul!!! And that's truly about it!!! The vast, vast majority of the music is ultra clear and sounds ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1st Press RCA Test vinyl!!! An outstanding listen! Absolutely ESSENTIAL!! ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audibly as Fair++++ for the very last track (R&RS), and at least as Very Good+++ for the rest!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me) Sleeve :N/A Summary : A UNIQUE ONE OFF OPPORTUNITY to own this PHENOMENALLY RARE white label test press example of this iconic work of art!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS UTTERLY UNIQUE AND EARLY AS THIS!!! AS CLOSE TO THE SOURCE AS POSSIBLE - THIS WILL BE THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL EVER HAVE OF OWNING THIS TRULY PHENOMENAL RECORD!!!

Bid now!!!Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks again for looking, it's truly appreciated!! Cheers!!!I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!Postage and packing (UK bidders) will be £4.99 signed for for the first item, £2.00 for every item after that.
