DHARMA BLUES BAND - DHARMA BLUES
Sparingly played 1969 UK 1st press blues/rock rarity
Truly excellent (EX) condition vinyl - completely flat, weighty and retaining it's original jet black sheen. Comes across as unmarked in normal daylight and it is only with close inspection under a bright light that a few small and very wispy hairlines come into view along with a couple of equally faint scuff marks on side 1 - each purely superficial and not impinging upon the terrific stereo audio quality at all. Near perfect condition labels : if you look very closely you might just be able to detect a couple of small and extremely faint spindle trail on each label - otherwise pristine. Very good (VG) condition front-side laminated outer sleeve with firm unscuffed edges, including a rigid spine with all spine text remaining nicely intact. Each corner remains an almost perfectly defined right angle with minimal rubbing and all the colours, art work and text remain in nice condition. However, there are some mild blemishes : on the front side there are x4 mild scuffs towards the centre of the top edge, there are some sporadic and minor surface laminate creases, and on the reverse side there are some minor and small handling/storage/surface marks along with two (8cm and 5cm) thin but noticeable score lines towards the centre of the bottom edge - nothing major, but do take a close look at my photos. Superb near mint (NM) stereo audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, distortion, interference or background crackle. Crystal clear sound quality throughout with each and every track remaining a great listen. Blues gurus Mike King, John Hilary, and Gary Compton are in fine form. Comes with original and correctly dated plain white "MADE IN ENGLAND" inner sleeve with no side splits but there is some creasing and some writing in blue biro.. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original. 1969 UK 1st press blues/rock rarity with the gleaming vinyl and superb audio quality being real highlights.
POSTAGE COSTS :

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
