CHICKEN SHACK - 100 ton chicken - UK Blue Horizon LP

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding

This listing is for an original pressing of this Blue Horizon album - nice vinyl, shame about the sleeve

Chicken Shack
100 ton Chicken
Original UK Blue Horizon pressing
Cat no: 7-63218 dead wax matrix A1 / B1
1969
Mode: Stereo
Producer: the great Mike Vernon

The Album: 
Another great value blues album from Stan the Man & friends. What we came to expect from Chicken Shack - with the added treat of a close-out recording of Davy Graham's Anji. Please read condition details as the cover is a bit sad - although the vinyl plays excellently..
 
Condition:
Cover:  Unlaminated gatefold sleeve is suffering - please check picture. It is just about intact but has shelf wear to front and rear and edge wear, particularly to the spine - this has worn to the extent that there's not much text still showing. There's also a sticker tear to top right rear. If you are happy with great vinyl but in a tired sleeve, read on - if you need a pristine sleeve, then sorry, this may not be for you.
Labels: Blue Horizon labels bright and clean. A number of obvious spindle marks but not excessive, no stickers, no writing. Pictures included. 
Vinyl: Nice vinyl with decent lustre. Has a few light scrapes, enough to visually take it below EX, but no nasty marks and plays excellently. 

Overall:
A tiring sleeve housing a great playing copy of this album - I'd guess that this might be professionally graded at (cover / vinyl) G / VG+

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.

Postage: Royal Mail 'restructured' prices in April 2013. Not necessarily all bad news, it depends what you buy - a single LP to most destinations is now more expensive, but within UK revised weight ranges allow two or three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. Approximate prices for normal postage & packing -

UK £3.35 for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs),

Europe £5.30 + £1.45 each additional,

Rest of world £7.55 + £2.70 each additional item

These amounts include estimated actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 35p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener).
I am happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.

Apologies, but owing to unreliability of some postal services, I will not ship to Italy, Russian Federation, & other former Soviet countries unless a signed for service is selected and paid for.

Losses: Royal Mail have reduced maximum compensation to £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20.

Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal

I have decided to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my precious vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
