Description

This album comes from a recent inheritance, some of which I am selling off.

As you can see from the photos this is not without problems, but actually plays pretty well.

I would say that the disc looks VG (quite a lot of surface scratches (see photos for examples)) and plays VG on my system (Hana ML/ RB600). More specifically side one plays with some crackles from the start which are evident at the quieter moments, no jumps though. On side two there are fewer immediately obvious crackles to begin with, but one significant click during ‘Baron Saturday’’, and then quite a few crackles and pops at the start of “The Journey” and then evident in quieter moments for the rest of the side, again no jumps though. In summary, there are a few issues here but nothing too serious in my opinion in terms of the disc beyond crackles.

As you can see from the photos the sleeve has a significant number of problems, most seriously the split on the spine, but also some discolouration, some shelf wear and some creases (see photos). This has been in a smokers home from new and has all the signs of wear from someone who loved this album. The labels are in reasonable condition as you can see from the photos, a few scratches/ some wear evident. The inner sleeve the original EMI publicity bag which is discoloured and has a sizeable seam split, I have put the record in a new poly inner since cleaning it with Ross Andrews Revive fluid.

Runout (Side A stamped): YAX 3738-1

Runout (Side B stamped): YAX 3739-1

So I will leave it up to you whether you want to bid. You will not get an immaculate version of this rare item but you will get one that is very playable with only a few issues (provided your system is as ‘forgiving’ as mine).

Thanks for looking.
