Description

ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE  AND LABEL 

AL STEWART 

Decca F 12467 (pressed in England)

TRACK LISTING:

Side 1: The Elf

Side 2: Turn To Earth

The legendary Elf 45 by Al Stewart which features an uncredited Jimmy Page and rumoured to have only a few dozen copies pressed and sold, this is a demo copy which looks more like a test pressing with its white label. I got this from the collection of a head honcho of a major record label here some years ago. It is housed in a plain white jacket (see results of my grading below).

 

Buyers please note that I try to describe as well as I could. However, some potential bidders have asked for grading and I have tried  to do so. In this respect, as both RRPG and Goldmine grading systems seem not in sync, I have drawn up my own which is indicated below after my grading results and I suggest that one reads that too.

UK buyers also please note that  I am based in Singapore but the system assumes that as a seller on Ebay,UK should indicate a UK postage cost of 4GBP which may not even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below.

 

Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item condition as 'used'. I did exercise the option of listing it under Ebay, US & Canada(for a fee of course!). Somehow, these listings are appearing under Ebay US & Canada as 'like new' and I can't seem to change it under that site . It should read as 'used'.
