On offer here is a very rare TRIPLE-LP (especially in this condition!!!!) called "Glastonbury Fayre Revelations - A Musical Anthology" and is in AWESOME condition and COMPLETE!!!! IT IS VERY VERY RARE TO FIND THIS SET - AND IT IS IN AWESOME NM CONDITION!!!!
The TRIPLE LP features VERY RARE live and studio recordings by The Grateful Dead, Brinsley Schwarz, Mighty Baby, Marc Bolan, Pete Townsend, David Bowie, Hawkwind, Skin Alley, Daevid Allen & Gong, Pink Fairies, and The Edgar Broughton Band!!!! THIS IS NOT AN LP TO MISSED OUT ON!!!! IT IS A VERY VERY RARE CHANCE TO BUY AN AWESOME COPY OF THIS TRIPLE-LP IN COMPLETE CONDITION!!!! Also only 5000 of these TRIPLE-LPs were ever pressed and it is estimated that only 200-300 of these today survive in COMPLETE condition. You must remember that the type of people that would have bought this TRIPLE-LP were HEAVY party goers and many of the TRIPLE-LPs bought would have been trashed quite quickly. Also the TRIPLE-LP is VERY fragile, and there are many parts to it - so many LPs bought ended up broken, worn, damaged or with many parts lost. BUT THIS ONE IS NOT - IT IS IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!! THIS IS A VERY RARE CHANCE TO GET A COPY OF THIS LP - TOTALLY COMPLETE!!!! DONT MISS THIS!!!!
This is the ORIGINAL UK 1972 pressing on the Revelations label, and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The Triple-LP also has BY FAR the RAREST record labels!!!! MOST of these Revelations Triple-LPs were pressed with BLACK labels - yet this one is pressed on the earliest GREEN labels - which makes this MUCH rarer!!!! This LP is VERY hard to find these days AT ALL - let alone in decent condition!!!! The records are pressed on thick quality vinyl. The Cat. No is REV 1/2/3 on the RARER 'Green' Revelations label with yellow outline (see picture) and is a Stereo pressing!!!!
I will now describe the TRIPLE-LP in detail. ALL the - parts are here. They are - A Printed Polythene Bag, A Stapled Booklet, 2 'poster-type' fold out booklets one of them to build the "Sweet Dome", a HUGE 'fold-out' Poster Triple-cover without any kind of wear and of course the 3 Near Mint unplayed records!!!! Firstly plastic printed 'polythene' outer cover - has survived remarkably and has NO splits, NO holes, some yellowing, and just a smallish tear on entry!!!! There is just some slight fading of the text - but this is only to be expected - as it is the outer part of the cover and quite fragile. TO FIND THIS IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION IS EXCEPTIONAL - it is a hardest part to find on this TRIPLE-LP and they are rarely seen AT ALL!!!! The 'stapled' booklet, the 2 other poster-booklets with the make-your-own Pyramid dome are all in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO creasing, NO staining, NO rips, NO tears, NO yellowing, and NO fading!!!! IT SIMPLE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT THEY ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION!!!!
The 'Fold-out' 6 panel Poster Cover is in FANTASTIC condition. These are VERY weak and often suffer with BAD wear. THIS ONE IS NOT!!!! IT IS IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO rips, NO ringwear AT ALL, NO corner wear (all PERFECTLY square), NO spinal wear, NO creases and NO writing!!!! One tiny little letter "R" in letraset north east of the pyramid in the picture, about 0.5 cm square. I have included some pictures of the edges and joins and these are a true sample of the overall stunning condition of all components of this remarkable set. All the edges are RAZOR straight and sharp with NO feathering!!!! It is a truly STUNNING cover and must grade FULL Excellent+ or NM!!!! It will be impossible to EVER find a better cover - it is certainly the best I have seen!!!!
The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) all 3 records and have NO wear, NO writing and NO spindle marks AT ALL!!!! ALL 3 record come in their ORIGINAL inner sleeves in STUNNING condition!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition for its age. Most of these LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. BUT THIS ONE IS NOT AND IT IS IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!! I will describe each side in detail visually and describe the general playing of the records at the bottom below the visual descriptions. ALL three LPs have been play graded. SIDE 1 is VISUALLY FLAWLESS and must grade visually MINT(Minus) - ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! SIDE 2 again is MINT Side 3 is NM Side 4 is NM Side 5 is NM Side 6 has only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light and must grade Excellent+!!!! REGARDING PLAYING - ALL sides play crackle free and have a 'just pressed look!!!! ALL sides play with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticking, NO hiss, NO distortion, and ALL sides have NO groovewear!!!! This is how I FOUND the records, - they GENUINELY are this STUNNING!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The overall grade of the records must be NM.THE RECORDS ARE TRULY STUNNING!!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brilliant, not to be missed and will never turn up in this condition ever again!!!!
It really is a STUNNING looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this RARE LP in this sort of condition!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL COPY OF "GLASTONBURY FAYRE REVELATIONS - A MUSICAL ANTHOLOGY" IN AWESOME CONDITION!!!
The 32 page booklet looks as new. It has most likely never been opened. NO creases, not even any yellowing at all.
The Dome/Pyramid poster is likewise as new, never opened and not been made up, cut or written on. Just as it was first issued, without even a crease, stunning!!
The poster with the setlist and group photos is again NM and has no signs of handling, but oddly a tiny area to the top of sellotape residue about 1.5 square cm.
The outer PVC sleeve is the only item with some sign of use. There are no splits at all but some yellowing along its edges and a smallish tear on the entry side.
VINYLS: NM. All three vinyls have not ever been played as there are no hairlines and not even any spindle traces. An impossible find like this and an upgrade museum condition.
