Fleetwood Mac – Debut-English Rose - British Blues Double Vinyl LP – Peter Green

$

22

There are many of us who still miss the Fleetwood Mac of the Peter Green era.  He is my favorite blues guitarist of all time, and this band ranks high on my list of all time favorites.  That was when Fleetwood Mac was one of the best, if not the very best, of the British blues bands.  When Peter Green left, the band struggled with its identity for many years.  They have always been a great band, but they were incredibly special in those early days.  This gift from the Epic label is a reissue of the group’s first two US releases.  However, this is an error combination as neither album is the one that came with the original set.  The first album is the actual Epic debut release.  The second album, English Rose, is a 1973 reissue from Columbia Special products.  The original double album was released on Epic in 1973, number BG 33740.  The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few very light surface scratches and scuffs that do not significantly impact play.  It plays with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG.  The gatefold album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, intact, and tight.  There is a small piece of yellow tape near the top of the spine.  The album cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by Paypal is preferred.
