Description

This is a custom listing of 4 albums.
The first is the Eric Clapton LP Another Ticket on RSO Records RX-1-3095 from 1981.  Both sides play M- and sound almost like a new album.  I purchased this new shortly after it came out and played it Very Few times.  I'm sure it was less than five times.  There was a light click in the first song and an occasional light noise in the background that was very seldom.  The cover is VG++ with minor wear on the front that is mainly in the center and bottom center, and also a little wear at the top center on the back.  You can also see that the wear has caused what looks like white specks on the cover and also on some parts of the seam.  It is still a very nice copy that sounds great, and with an excellent band!  It is credited on the LP label as Eric Clapton And His Band.  HIs band consists of Gary Brooker of Procol Harum, and Chris Stainton on keyboards, Albert Lee on guitar along with EC and Henry Spinetti on drums.  It was recorded in the Bahamas with Tom Dowd producing.  It includes the hit "I Can't Stand It."  "Another Ticket" was also released as a single from this LP.  It comes with it's original photo/lyric inner sleeve.
The second is an original Badfinger LP called Straight Up on Apple Records SW 3387 from 1971.  It was autographed for me by Joey Molland on August 19, 1988 in Escanaba, MI.  When I bought this album it was almost impossible to find a copy.  In fact, I had been looking for years.  I found this in 1986 and paid a steep price for it, but was very happy with it.  It plays with noise in the background most of the time and sometimes it gets a bit loud, but has excellent tone and sound.  There are several repetitive clicks or pops in "Flying", and it sticks at the end of "I'd Die Babe."  Because of all of this I'd grade it G+ or VG-.  Side 2 sounds better.  There is still noise in the background but I didn't hear any clicks or pops.  It is at least VG.  The cover has heavy wear on the front and back.  It also has about a half inch of seam split at the bottom opening.  There is no actual split elsewhere on the edges that I could see but there are places where it is very close to splitting.  I have tried to provide photos that show as much of this as possible.  I'd say it is VG to VG-.  This is pretty much the same condition it was in when I bought it, and I paid considerably more than I'm asking.  It's an all right starter copy and Joey's signature adds to it.  I was very pleased to have it and played the tape copy I made from it many, many times and enjoyed it every time.  I did upgrade when I could a few years later and have seen Joey many times so my upgraded copy is signed by him also.  This is why I decided to part with this copy if someone is interested.  It's a great album that also features Leon Russell on jabbing guitar licks on "Suitcase," and beautiful piano on "Day After Day."  It also features George Harrison on guitar on "Day After Day."  I've forgotten what other tracks he plays on.  He produced several tracks on the album and  those he didn't produce were produced by Todd Rundgren.  One of my all time favorite albums.
The third is The Best of The Guess Who LP on RCA Records AYL1-3663 originally released in 1969.  The record plays nice VG++ excellent tone and sound.  The cover is also a very nice VG++.  There is very light record impression and wear on the back that is barely noticeable.  There is also a minor flaw at the opening near the center on the back.  It looks like a tear but isn't split.  I bought this new in the eighties and played it a few times.  This is a reissue and is not a gatefold cover.  It's a great record.
And the fourth is an original LP by George Harrison called Dark Horse on Apple Records SMAS-3418 from 1974 from my personal collection.  It plays very nice VG++ and is very close to M- but does have an occasional light noise in the background and a light pop in "So Sad."  It has beautiful tone and sound and is an excellent album.  The cover is also a very nice VG++.  It has very light wear from the record on the back.  There is also a very small minor bend in the bottom left corner inside the gatefold.  It comes with the lyric insert.  This has three stains and writing on it.  Back in the eighties when I was searching out all of these records it was very hard to find a copy, let alone one with the lyric insert.  My guess is this came from a different copy because the rest of the album is in such nice shape.  Still nice to have.  The cover has the small babaji at the top center.  When I purchased this I was told that it was considerably harder to find the smaller one, although that is probably not the case anymore.  Includes the title hit and the holiday single; "Ding Dong, Ding Dong."  Excellent musicians play on this album including Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, Gary Wright, Alvin Lee, Mick Jones, Tom Scott, Andy Newmark, Willie Weeks, Chuck Findley, Jim Horn, Emil Rich, Lon and Derek Van Eaton, Robben Ford and Billy Preston.
