Description
This week a SUPER RARE collection of LPs all ending on Sunday night as usual! Really REALLY rare items - and very VERY hard to find indeed! Good luck if you decide to bid - and please read on about this AMAZING item below:-
RARITY:- BACK IN 1972 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, ONLY 99 COPIES WERE EVER MADE AND IT WAS THEN IMMEDIATELY DELETED FOREVER! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY! NOT ONLY THAT - BUT THIS LP IS ALSO TOP CLASS MUSICALLY, AND SURPASSES ALL EXPECTATIONS! SO MANY PRIVATE PRESSINGS THAT TURN UP FOR SALE TODAY - EITHER HAVE TERRIBLE AMATEUR MUSICIANS, OR THE MUSIC IS SIMPLY APPALLING! BUT NOT THIS ONE! ALL THE BANDMEMBERS ON THIS LP ARE CLEARLY OF THE VERY HIGHEST QUALITY (AND SURELY MUST HAVE PLAYED SESSION ON MANY OTHER LPs) - WITH SUPERB ELECTRIC GUITAR WORK (USING FENDER GUITARS) AND SUPERB VOCALS! SO NOT ONLY IS THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY - BUT IT IS TOP CLASS MUSICALLY TOO! MANY COLLECTORS WONT EVEN HAVE HEARD OF THIS LP (THOUGH IT IS VERY HIGHLY RATED BY THOSE THAT HAVE!) - BUT IF YOU ARE A FAN OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK, THEN THIS LP IS COMPLETELY UNMISSABLE!
And backing this statement up - ALL the reviews from people who have listened to this LP in various place are EXTREMELY positive! So this is one LP that has the golden combination of being RARE and also STUNNING musically!
NOTE:- Even though this LP is of the UTMOST rarity, it was only made literally 5 miles away from me - in Shefford, Bedfordshire, UK. From people I have spoken to at the time, at least a quarter of the 99 copies remained unsold, and were incredibly put in a bargain bin in the local post office! Of course, this story is impossible to verify now, but in total only around 10-15 copies have EVER come up for sale EVER - and I have found 3 of them, all in my local area! So perhaps this story has some substance to it!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
