Top 20 London W1 

ATP 001 LP.

1968

"Some very famous artists are performing on this disc including DAVID BYRON, PETER LEE STIRLING a.k.a. DANIEL BOONE and LOIS LANE."

"..... this is in fact a compilation of 1968 recordings which were originally put out on Avenue's smaller Studio 33 imprint.

Studio 33 started issuing their covers LPs during 1968, without album titles, and this is basically a sampler from the first three, which were catalogue numbered 10-009, 10-010 and 10-011.

..............................."This extremely rare 20 track album was mastered using state-of-the-art technology on the new specification cutting lathes in West Germany. It was then returned to the U.K. for pressing by TRANCO (PYE RECORDS) in London and in turn delivered to AVENUE'S warehouse in London E4.

"The limited run of this particular disc was made for distribution in West Germany - the album could not be sold in theU.K. because of the extreme poor quality of the U.K. general public's down market playing equipment.  The micro grooving on this disc needed a top quality playback device - not the average clapped-out portable record player that was still in general use in England at that time... Thus this 20 track album concept from AVENUE was for the more affluent album buyers on the Continent.

Vinyl grades EX to a Strong EX, very clean well cared for item
Cover grades a VG+, would grade a Strong EX but has some sellotape residue on one side


Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.  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.  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 light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is 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, discoloration, etc. FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 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. BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
