Hard To Find In This 1974 UK Reissue Vintage Vinyl Edition !!!


Vinyl Is In Very Good Plus Plus To (Mostly) Near Mint Condition. (there is some very, very minor age related wear)

Cover Is In Very Good Plus Plus Condition. (there is some very, very minor age related wear - there is some very, very minor edge wear - there is some very, very minor ring wear)



This Is A Great Find For The   Gentle Giant   Fan or Collector!             
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Please note: All of the items that I sell are from my own personal collection. 

This is a large collection (that I have maintained and added to for well over 40 years), 

that I am now divesting, due to mounting medical bills.


I, am not a store, or a business. 

I am a private collector, selling off large parts of my personal collection.


Please Note: Despite a major surgery that I had a while ago, I am still dealing 

with a lot of extreme complications and chronic disability. 

As a result, this sometimes gets in the way of my e-baying.  

So, if my turn around time takes a lot longer then most sellers, 

(I have a 30 day shipping window) I really do apologize in advance. 

I know it is a (potentially) long delivery window, 

and you may want to consider this before bidding.


Also, I always ship items in proper shipping packaging, with padding 

or packing peanuts or cardboard bracing as needed. I use whatever is 

required in order to try and get it safely through the worldwide mail 

systems. As a result, there is a small (cost) fee for the packaging materials 

that I get from Box City, in order to safely ship the items.


Also, please understand this in advance, I use the e-bay calculator to 

figure out postage. Sometimes, it is wrong, and presents a cost that is 

higher then the actual cost at the post office. If and when this is the case, 

I always refund the difference.


Please Note: Overseas Packages that go through the Customs system, 

can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to Process and Deliver, This IS Normal. 

For Russia and the Middle East, this can take even longer and is 

completely out of my control, so please be patient.



Many Thanks.
