Description

 

I have decided to slowly start parting with my own personal vinyl collection. This has been a difficult decision. I spent many a happy year, hunting, buying, upgrading my collection. I will try and provide as much info as possible, but if you require more photos or any other info don't hesitate to get in touch.

The collection consists of Rock, Prog, Psych, Folk, Beat predoninantly from the 60's and 70's. Plenty of Vertigo, Harvest and Island originals as well as Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Who etc.

I would consider all items to be at least EX, however please read my descriptions where I will try and point out any flaws.

I will also include multiple photos in my listings, detailing as much as possible.

Bid with confidence - I am a long time collector. I understand collecting and grading. I don't overgrade and will refund you fully on return of the item if not entirely satisfied.

Vinyl will be seperated from the sleeve, placed in a new antistatic inner and card outer for shipping. The original inner will be included if present (check description)

I use cruciform record mailers with stiffeners for safe, secure shipping.

All UK items will be sent by 1st class recorded at a cost of £3.65. I will combine postage where possible, I always undercharge P&P costs - please bear this in mind when leaving feedback/DSRs.

Overseas postage will ONLY be sent by registered/recorded delivery and the full value will be declared to customs so please don't ask me to reduce this.

Thanks for looking.

Artist - Joni Mitchell

Title - Debut - Song To The Seagull

Year - 1968

Country - UK

Label - Reprise 3 Colour Steamboat

Matrix Numbers are machine stamped with STEREO stamped in capitals on both sides.

Side One RSLP6293 A-1*G

Side Two RSLP6293 B-1*G

THE LABELS

The labels original 3 colour Steamboat design Reprise labels and as can be seen from the photo below, there are no spidle marks on either side. The labels are free from stickers, writing or any other defects.

THE VINYL

The vinyl is NM (I only grade Mint if sealed) It retains a deep shine. I have inspected it in daylight and can see no scratches, this is by far the best copy I found during my collecting days.

I don't claim it to be unplayed or 1 play because how could you possibly know? I can say that I have owned this for more than 10 years and I never played it, choosing instead to play a reissue.

It would benefit from a professional vacuum clean to remove dust. I could have dusted it but in my opinion that just pushes dust into the grooves and does more hard than good.

THE INNER

Plain white poly lined inner

THE SLEEVE

Very thick gatefold card sleeve made in Canada. It is quite common to find UK albums in US or Canadian made sleeves, particularly when the artist was unknown in the UK. Some companies practised this method more than other. I have original albums by Frank Zappa and Neil Young that were packaged in this way. It is usually only the very first issues that have US sleeves as if the artist took off then UK sleeves would then be manufactured. The sleeve itself is in Excellent + condition, free from rips, tears writing or ringwear which is commonly found in these thick US sleeves
