Description
I am in the process of de-cluttering my house and sadly it is time to dispose of several hundred classic LPs. These all date from the mid 60s to the 80s.
All my LPs will have been played at least once and some of them several times. They have however been properly looked after and stored over the years and I am only listing LPs which play to a high quality. Each LP has been played in full prior to listing so my assessment is of the whole record, not just a few samples. My assessments of the quality of the vinyl, sound reproduction and sleeve are based on the widely accepted Record Collector definitions.
All albums are sent first class in the UK and are bubble wrapped and then sealed in specialist hard card packaging specifically designed for LPs. Discounts are available for multiple purchases - please contact me for details.
Postage and packing are: £3 to UK; £4 to Europe; £6 worldwide.
I prefer payment by PayPal but will accept personal cheques, subject to the cheque clearing before the goods are dispatched.
This copy of the Idle Race's 1968 LP "The Birthday Party" is a UK first pressing on the Liberty label - catalogue number LBS 83132, matrix numbers A1/B1. Idle Race were the group which Jeff Lynne fronted before moving on to greater things with the Move and ELO. I saw them many times in Wolverhampton and they deserved to be much bigger than they ever were. This is an album I really feel sad about parting with as it brings back some great memories so I hope it goes to a good home! The album is in excellent condition given its age and all the tracks play perfectly with only minor crackle or other surface noise. The vinyl has very few superficial surface marks, certainly nothing out of the ordinary for an LP of this age and nothing which affects the quality of playback. The laminated gatefold sleeve is in very good condition with only minor creasing or scuffing. The lettering on the spine is clear.
Tracks are:
Side One:
1. The skeleton and the roundabout
2. Happy birthday
3. The birthday
4. I like my toys
5. The morning sunshine
6. Follow me, follow
7. Sitting in my tree
Side Two:1. On with the show
2. Lucky man
3. Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
4. Pie in the sky
5. The lady who said she could fly
6. The end of the road
