Description
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 A just has one faint and fine hairline/scratch and the odd extremely light sleeve removal trace under strong artificial light. Side B track 1 has one small scratch that can be felt and a patch of scuffing/markings that are slightly feeling, the rest of the side is unmarked except for the odd sleeve removal trace. If you forget track one side 2 Both sides look Stunning and not far off perfect, super glossy, barely played and it's a Wonderful example of this Very Rare Earliest Pressing, but obviously it does have the marks on track 1 side 2 so it's not perfect.
Playtested and there are No skips, jumps or sticks, it sounds Amazing, strong and vibrant with only very slight background in quieter parts. Even Track 1 side 2 plays through without issue, obviously there is about 1 minute of clicks each rotation but I wouldn't say they ruin the music as the track is a loud one. So Its near perfect except for track 1 side 2 and even that is not bad.
Labels both have hardly any signs of play(spiders legs) under strong light, Both labels are clean and free from the usual writing etc Stunning...see photos
Original Unlaminated Gatefold Sleeve is in Great Shape. The front and back of sleeve show NO rubbing to either face with only a few tiny creases from spine edge. No corner wear. No wear to opening edge but there is a thin brown line down all opening edges from old selotape residue. Spine is solid and crisp. Top edge and Bottom edge have no wear. Inside is crisp, clean and unworn with only a small patch of damage on left hand opening edge in the middle...see photos...This is a Great Example of this sleeve that is Unlaminated and usually ends up rubbed and patchy. If not for the selotape residue it would be near perfect.
The original Heavy weight Darker Inner is clean and flat but has split along bottom edge.
A Mega Rare and Very hard to find LP.
