FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.  MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS
THIS IS PERHAPS THE MOST POPULAR LP OF "BADFINGER" ENTITLED, "NO DICE."  IRONICALLY, THIS WAS ALSO THEIR DEBUT ALBUM.
THE VINYL RECORD PLAYS GREAT (SEE BELOW).  THE SONGS ARE AWESOME.  ALL-AROUND GREAT HISTORICAL ALBUM. IT WAS THE FIRST PRESSING OF THE ALBUM IN THE U.S.
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY PRESSINGS AND VARIANTS OF THIS ALBUM WERE PRODUCED OVER THE YEARS BEGINNING IN 1970. 
THIS ALBUM WAS PRODUCED BY APPLE RECORDS AND ORIGINALLY RECORDED IN ENGLAND.  THIS IS THE1971 GATEFOLD WINCHESTER VARIANT ISSUE NUMBERED SKAO-3367. HAS BELL SOUND PRINTED ON THE DEAD SPACE ALONG WITH THE OTHER APPROPRIATE MATRIX NUMBERS THAT INDICATE IT IS A WINCHESTER ISSUE......
MATRIX/RUNOUT  - MATRIX A ON LABEL - SKAO 1-3367 MATRIX/RUNOUT  - MATRIX B ON LABEL - SKAO 2-3367 MATRIX/RUNOUT  SIDE A - BELL SOUND STAMPED (VAR. 1) SKAO       ST-(SCRATCHED OUT) - 1-3367-Z8 BELL sf ------TRIANGLE. MATRIX/RUNOUT SIDE B - BELL SOUND STAMPED (VAR. 1) SKAO      ST-(SCRATCHED OUT) - Z8 BELL SOUND sf ------TRIANGLE.   THE VINYL PLAYS EXCELLENTLY WITH 2 LONELY "POPS" ONLY ON SONG 2 OF SIDE 1 (I DON'T MIND).  THE REMAINDER OF THE VINYL PLAYS EXCELLENTLY.  
I DON'T DO VISUAL GRADING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE ONE OR TWO STRAY "POPS" SIMPLY BY LOOKING AT THE VINYL.  ALTHOUGH TIME-CONSUMING, I TEST PLAY ALL RECORDS AND TRY AND GIVE SPECIFIC DETAILS. 
THE ALBUM COVER HAS NO MAJOR FLAWS, BUT DOES SHOW AGE SOME WEAR IN THE FORM OF WHITE HANDLING SPOTS AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS (LIKE MANY OF THIS ALBUM DO).  I'VE SEEN MUCH WORSE FOR SALE.  ALSO, THERE IS THAT LITTLE CORNER DIAGONAL WHICH DOES NO HARM.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THE LARGE COLOR PHOTO OF THE GROUP INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS NEAR MINT WITH NO REAL SIGNS OF AGE (INSIDE THE GATEFOLD COVER).
THE MUSIC AND SONGS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF ICONIC. THE GROUP STARTED PERFORMING ABOUT THE TIME OF THE BRITISH INVASION AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. GREAT STUFF!!  AMONG THE HITS ARE THE TWO MASSIVELY SUCCESSFUL SONGS, "NO MATTER WHAT" AND "WITHOUT YOU."  SEE PHOTOS FOR COMPLETE AWESOME TRACK LIST.

THIS IS A MUSICAL AND AUDIO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY AND VALUABLE ENTEERTAINING VINTAGE LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST.  YOU WILL  NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THOSE REFLECTIONS YOU MAY SEE IN THE SHINY VINYL ARE THOSE OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE AREA WHERE I TAKE MY PHOTOS - DEFINITELY NOT ON THE VINYL.

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS (WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL (WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS. I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.

THIS COPY SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A. - NOT FROM OVERSEAS WHICH SAVES A BUNCH OF SHIPPING COSTS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE.  HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP RECEIVED FROM OVERSEAS??  I HAVE, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.
