Description
Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

Side 1 has only a couple of extremely faint patchy marks, Side 2 has a handful of very fine hairline/scratches and one scratch on the last track that runs in to run out groove, Side 3 has only a handful of very faint surface scuffs, a couple of faint patchy marks and a couple of tiny marks and Side 4 has a couple of fine scratches, a faint patchy mark and a handful of whispy scuffs, nothing feeling and all sides are still really shiny, There is the odd extremely faint sleeve removal mark under strong artificial light on each side, Great Condition.
PLAYTESTED and it plays amazingly, strong and vibrant audio with no lessening in sound quality, a little light static in the quiet parts and the odd click, a wonderful listen. Record 2 does not appear to lay completely flat HOWEVER this does not affect the music at all, it plays amazingly with no sticks, skips or jumps and hardly any background. This record has been stored for 50 years and will benefit from a proper clean.
All Labels have only light signs of spiders legs under strong light. Very clean labels, No Damage. Stunning
Front of sleeve has some light ring shaping/light rubbing, but still has a lot of its original gloss, a few tiny creases from edges and a couple of small and very faint indetations when held in the light, wear to corners (bottom right is bumped, others just light wear) and some light handling wear to opening edge. Spine is still wide and pretty solid, a little laminate peal, Back is the same as the front with also a thumbnail just down from opening and a laminate bubble bottom left corner. Inside is flat clean and glossy with only faint crease top left. A Very rare sleeve in Great condition...see photos
Original Black Inners have some light creasing. no splits, just some slight wear to opening edges and around center circle, both original and in Great Shape
4 Original Photos are near perfect, untouched since purchase, very very slight crease top left on George from storage
Original Slightly Glossy Paper Spacer is flat and generally clean
Original Poster is crisp and solid with no wear to edges or damage. The lyric side has a few tiny age marks but poster side is crisp and really clean.
