Description

This is part of a collection I obtained from a collector who played the LPs only once so as to commit to tape and kept them in pristine condition.

I sold other LPs from the collection last month and have already received positive feedback -

MINT record, EX sleeve, well packed and fast delivery, A+++++++++++++

Great eBayer, highly recommended. The item is as described. A++++++. Thanks

This first press of A Day At The Races is another I have in superb condition. I have honestly never seen a first press as good as this. Quite simply it is in stunning condition and I can only detect one faint hairline on "You Take My Breath Away". Other than that it looks "as new". How rare is that for this highly collectable first press?!

The gatefold cover is one of best I have seen, very rare for this LP as it generally does not wear well at all. There is very slight rubbing on the corners and a minor tear on the reverse (as shown in pic). It retains a strong wide spine that is 100% legible and is superb condition. The inside of the gatefold is also in Near Mint condition.

Overall a fantastic first press and any avid collector would be extremely happy with this LP :-)

Catalogue number EMTC 104 / Matrix numbers YAX 5245 - 1U / YAX 5246 - 1U

The vinyl I would grade as Near Mint-

The gatefold cover is Ex+

The picture inner is Mint (how rare is that?!)

The

labels are Near Mint

Any questions please feel free to ask.

Please pay within 4 days of auction end.

I ONLY SEND ITEMS TO ITALY, RUSSIA AND SOUTH AMERICA "SIGNED FOR" AS TOO MANY ITEMS GO MISSING. PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS.

I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE COSTS IF MORE THAN ONE ITEM IS WON / DOUBLE LPs COUNT AS TWO RECORDS.

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKED IN STRONG MAILERS WITH CARDBOARD STIFFENERS. THE RECORDS ARE ALSO REMOVED FROM THEIR SLEEVES TO AVOID CUTTING THROUGH THE COVER AND THEN PUT INTO A SEPARATE SLEEVE AND THEN PLACED INSIDE A PVC SLEEVE.

I WILL LEAVE FEEDBACK AS SOON AS I RECEIVE FEEDBACK - SO I KNOW THE ITEM WAS RECEIVED SAFELY AND THAT YOU ARE HAPPY WITH IT :-)

In the coming weeks and months I will be putting plenty of Queen, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Marillion items on the site so please keep a look out! Many thanks. Please look at my other items on now!
