KEVIN AYERS JOY OF A TOY, 1st PRESS UK HARVEST VINYL LP
Kevin Ayers – Joy of a Toy
Kevin Ayers (born 16 August 1944 in Herne Bay, Kent) is an English songwriter and major influential force in the English psychedelic movement. John Peel wrote in his autobiography that “Kevin Ayers’ talent is so acute you could perform major eye surgery with it”. He was a founding member of the pioneering psychedelic band Soft Machine in the late 1960s, and was closely associated with the Canterbury scene. He has recorded a series of albums as a solo artist and worked with Brian Eno, Syd Barrett, John Cale, Elton John, Robert Wyatt, Andy Summers, Mike Oldfield, Nico, Ollie Halsall and many others. Joy of a Toy is his debut solo album released in 1969.
This is the original pressing without the EMI logo on the label.

Condition: (as Record Collector's grading system. If I see a mark it will be mentioned however light/small, including from the usual very light paper scuffs/marks - usually caused by record being removed from the inner sleeve, which appear on nearly all old records and which are only visible under strong light)
Vinyl side 1: very good (has a few visible marks that that do not affect the audio in any way, plays very well with the odd light pop/click but still a great listen).
Vinyl side 2: very good (has a few visible marks that that do not affect the audio in any way, plays without fault, excellent audio).
Cover (front laminated, gatefold): fair (badly damaged at the top of the spine, some corner, edge and spine wear, light creasing at spine edge - see photos).
The record plays with no jumps or skips and minimal crackle.
I have tried to give my honest opinion as to the condition. I will give a complete refund to the buyer if they are not happy with the record.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
