Description

I am selling off quite a large record collection featuring a very wide range of musical styles, they have been very well cared for, though I will try to give an 100% honest appraisal of their condition and will put up plenty of photos of the actual items for sale so you can see exactly what you are bidding on.

For sale here is The Chitinous Ensemble - original 1971 British Jazz vinyl album on Deram Records in excellent condition.
Here's a write up about it from znrcds:
This long lost Brit-jazz release is a much sought-after collector's item as the original vinyl LP almost never turns up. Released in a small quantity in 1971 on the British Deram label (a Decca company), Chitinous has attained near legendary status amongst British jazz collectors. Many will remember Buckmaster from the pop/rock world as he arranged the strings and orchestral parts (and often played the cello, too!) on such famous recordings as David Bowie's "Space Oddity", The Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers", The Bee Gees "Odessa" and many Elton John albums including "Tumbleweed Connection" & "Madman Across the Water". In 1972 Buckmaster was introduced to jazz great Miles Davis which led to a friendship and to Buckmaster's involvement on Davis' landmark "On the Corner" album! Prog fans will know him from his soundtracks, too.

The sleeve is in excellent condition and features some great artwork. There is just a little wear to the spine but barring that this is a lovely sleeve showing only very light wear.
I have been selling a large record collection, and I have always deep cleaned these records using a professionally constructed wet vacuum system, however on this occasion, given the pristine unmarked condition of the vinyl and the fabulous audio from my test play on a good quality deck, I have decided against doing anything to this particular vinyl and will leave it in its original superb condition. The labels are in lovely crisp and clean condition and very light spindle marks suggest that this 45 year old album has only ever been played on very few occasions. 
I will send the records very thoroughly packaged in very good quality cardboard mailers with card stiffeners and with 'signed for' delivery which does cost an extra quid but I'll feel more confident that the records will safely arrive with you that way.

I will be listing lots of other very varied high quality records over the coming days and weeks and I have other listings so please check out the other items for sale. Thanks for looking.
