Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

Side 1 has only one very faint hairline and a handful of small faint surface marks, nothing that can be felt, Side 2 has 3 small faint scratches near edge and a couple of very faint surface marks, Apart from that, on both sides, there are some extremely light sleeve removal marks and the slightest inner sleeve pattern, Still has a Great Shine and for near 50 years old...Stunning Condition. The Record has been stored for years and will benefit from a proper clean, I will let the new owner do this.
PLAYTESTED fully and it plays all the way through with no sticks, jumps or skips. The Audio Is Strong and Clear with No Lessening In Sound Quality. There is light static, with the odd click during quiet parts, which during the louder tracks is not noticable. A Great Playing Copy.
Labels are clean, No Wear or damage, some signs of being played under strong light (spiders legs)...see photos Great Labels
