Finding a Complete 1st press in this wonderful condition is very rare indeed. The vinyl is beautiful. When held up to the brightest light, there are barely any visible marks, even faint ones. No spindle marks and the labels are vibrant orange. This has not been play tested, but looks as new. It’s a real beauty. Museum, archive piece!
The gatefold sleeve has minimal scuffing to the corners. There is faint but small letters in marker pen on the front. This may wipe off? The opening edges are very square and totally unfrayed, and there is NO detectable ring wear. The back cover is nice and clean. The inside Gatefold is clean and virtually unmarked. The Spine shows minimal wear, just a light crease. Being matt finish and not having the advantage of being laminated, these covers usually faired pretty badly, with serious ring wear and scuffed along the edges. The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and scuffed. However, all round, this is a really nice example!
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: The record shall be sent to the lucky winner very well packaged and correctly stored outside of the sleeve. I ONLY SEND ITEMS REGISTERED! No exceptions! Collection for cash is welcomed. Shipping to UK is £5.80 first class signed for, to the EU is £15 tracked and to the rest of the world is £20 tracked. If you are not happy with the postage costs then please do NOT bid! I only use LP boxes that fit 1 or 2 records, so each item won will be sent individually unless you are willing to pay for the extra packaging. Please bear this in mind before bidding on more than one item. The postage costs may seem high but I actually make a loss. Royal Mail has recently increased their prices and Ebay now take 10% of all postage costs in the final fee and Paypal take a further 5%. This means I am not passing on the cost for packaging or my time queuing in the Post Office. I will not lower the postage price, please do not ask. I try to be as accurate as I can, but unless otherwise stated I have not listened to the LP the whole way through and like all used records there is always a chance there may be sound defects. Please accept this risk before bidding. Returns are only accepted in the unlikely event that the description was incorrect. Any other questions please enquire.
Many thanks for looking.
Please see my 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence.
