SUPERB 1969 UK RCA RECORDS STEREO FIRST PRESS.
RCA SF 8059
Debut Lp backed by the great MIGHTY BABY.
This is a stunning Lp with lots of acoustic playing~ Keith played on Bowie's Space Oddity LP~and lotsa nice psychedelic touches~~reminds me of and is as good as Nick Drake's Lps and one of the unsung classics of the late 60's.
This looks a near EX as far as visual grading goes and this Lp plays superbly throughout and is undoubtedly the best vinyl I have seen of this Lp and sounds great.
The near perfect labels are shown in scans 2 and 3.
Matrix No~ XGBS 0245 2K FIRST PRESS
OVERALL CONDITION
SLEEVE ~ VG+
(Some minor ringwear on front sleeve~see scan + rear ring wear + bottom sleeve wear ~see scan 2~~but really it is the vinyl that counts.)
VINYL ~ EX-
(see note above~THIS LP plays magnificently~YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED)
GRADING : I grade records firstly visually and sample aurally for overall sound quality. Should you feel I have misgraded please remember that I offer a full NO QUIBBLE refund or agreed price reduction if I am off the mark.
NEAR MINT (NM)~~a top copy~audio listening and visual grading has not revealed any imperfections. Lp is guaranteed to sound superb and shows very little sign of playing.
NEAR EXCELLENT (EX- or EX or EX+)~~careful visual inspection audio sampling has not revealed any major imperfections such as clicks or skips~~the LP should sound superb and it will be hard to find a better copy. Sleeve and any inserts/inners are in excellent shape. You will not be disappointed.
VG++ ~~you will not be disappointed with this LP~may have some light surface hairlines under bright light but will sound true without distortion or any major flaw. Sleeve will be in good order.
VG+~~ audio listening has revealed some limited surface noise (especially at run~in groove and towards start of each side and the run~out groove) or the odd crackle here and there. Visually the Lp may have light scuffs but nothing major though has obviously been played a few times. There should be no skips or repeats and play without distortion.
Sleeve might have light creases or minor ringwear or spine wear but nothing too serious.
Overall the Lp and sleeve are still quite acceptable and a better copy may never come along!
STILL PERFECTLY PLAYABLE AND STILL A VERY ACCEPTABLE SOUND!!
VG~~not great and may have surface noise throughout but I will flag up this grading rarely.
The sleeve will have seen better days.
Probably worth it for rarity value.
All orders guaranteed professionally packed.
