DESCRIPTION Deep Purple Shades Of Deep Purple 1968 Parlophone PMC 7055 Ultra Rare UK 1st press with 1G/1G mothers/stampers.
Lovely copy too, listen to the whole LP before bidding.
Dead Wax Information:- Side 1:- XEX 689 - 1 1G Side 2:- XEX 690 - 1 1G This is a great opportunity to purchase one of the UK s most sought after LP s from the Psychadelic/Progressive Rock Era.
This is also the EARLIEST EVER 1st PRESSING and one of the first few pressed in its rarer and much more sought after MONO format.
On top of that this is a stunning copy and sounds fantastic VINYL:- This vinyl still has a lovely sheen to it and has clearly only been played a few times.
It does have a handful of light scratch/scuff marks but nothing heavy or intrusive in any way and obviously not feelable .
It is a lovely clean copy and still looks and sounds fantastic.
On playback it has some very light unintrusive crackle on quieter parts as expected but still sounds fantastic throughout and I only heard one pop and absolutely no other surface noise at all.
Fantastic audio clarity, a stunning sounding copy.
The labels are also both lovely and clean with only light spindal wear.
EXCELLENT.
COVER:- The original 1st Pressing Mono cover is in nice condition.
It does have some creasing and a tiny chip on the front bottom right above EMI see pic .
The unlaminated rear panel is very clean with only minor wear and some ageing towards the opening edge.
Minor wear to flipback Again see pic .
The spine is fully readable with some minor wear.
Minor wear to corners.
See pics for further.
Overall a nice example.

I wish you good luck in your bidding and hope to hear from you soon.
I use the record collector grading system when grading records with the addition of a or - when appropriate in order to give the most accurate description possible.
I have also provided my own interpretation of what the gradings mean to me.
All records are visually graded in normal light and under artificial light to ensure the item is correctly advertised.
I have 20 years experience of collecting and grading records and do as much as possible to ensure buyers are happy with their purchases.
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any exta items, such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
My interpretation - Shop Condition.
At most a handful of the tiniest hairline marks might be visible under bright light.
Very very minor edge/corner wear to cover may be present as usual from a new LP picked up from a record shop rack is accceptable.
EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
My Interpretation - Very well cared for and hardly played.
Lovely gloss to vinyl which is clean.
No scratches but a handful of light surface marks acceptable.
One or two light scratches that cannot be felt and don t affect play in any way are also acceptable.
Cover etc may have normal light storeage wear or minor creasing and ageing.
VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is accepttable.
My Interpretation - Lots of light surface marks and scratches.
Some light clicks and/or minor distortion etc are acceptable.
Fingermarks and dirt on the vinyl may also be acceptable.
Cover etc in normal condition for age with average wear and tear, some creasing and minor staining, writing on labels and cover may be acceptable.
GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
My Interpretation - Vinyl is badly marked with scuffs/scratches/surface marks etc.
Vinyl plays with lots of hiss/clicks/jumps etc.
May also have extensive groove wear.
Cover etc will be bent/scuffed/stained/torn etc.
FAIR The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise etc:it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
My Interpretation - Vinyl is knackered and sounds like a frying breakfast when it ain t jumping or clicking.
Cover etc will be badly worn, torn, stained or defaced etc.
POOR The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
My Interpretation - Awful Only offered for sale if extremely rare.
BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler.
My Interpretation - Speaks for itself.
Sometimes a record may be graded visually and aurally.
This usually applies to a record that looks badly marked but plays superbly.
This is common, particularly with 1950 s 1960 s records that can look Good but play Excellent or above.
In these cases I would normlly assess the grading as being somewhere between the two.
NOTE:- The above gradings differ from Goldmine and other publications grading systems so please read carefully before bidding.
Some of the items that I offer will be play-graded, but some will not.
This is purely to do with the amount of time I have available and nothing else.
Therefore if the description does not state the record has been play-graded then it has not been so.
All play-graded descriptions are based on how the record sound on my system.
I do have a vacuum cleaning machine which I may use when cleaning records.
This is used with top quality L Art Du Son cleaning fluid.
If a record has been cleaned with this beforehand then I will detail this in the listing.
I am unable to vacuum clean all listings due to time constraints, however I will clearly indicate this in any listings.
PAYMENT I am able to accept the following payment options:- Paypal In UK only Postal Order - UK Only in UK Personal Cheque - UK Only in UK See the PP details below to calculate total cost for your item with your desired postage and packing option.
It is assumed that if you win an item you have read my payment and pp terms and conditions prior to bidding.

NOTE:- Most ebay users are genuine, however for those few who are not, please do not bid on my auctions.
I have come across it all before, bidding then not paying, claiming items did not arrive, sending back different items to the ones sent to you Incidentally if this happens then you will neither receive a refund nor the item you sent to me claiming to be the auction item.
