DELETED AND ELUSIVE A COLLECTORS ITEM OF A REAL FOLK PSYCH GEM. THIS IS ON THE ORIGINAL "DANDELION" LABEL, WITH FIRST PRESS A1/B1 EARLIEST MATRIX NUMBERS. VERY SCARCE AND ORIGINAL, NOT A RE-PRESS COPY.

PLEASE NOTE:

I USUALLY ONLY LIST RECORDS WHICH ARE IN TOP CONDITION, AND UNDERSTAND THE GRADING SYSTEM. WITH THIS ITEM ITS ONLY A VISUAL THING BUT...

THE ONLY 2 REASONS I HAVE NOT GRADED THIS RARITY AS AN EXCELLENT+ ALL ROUND ARE.....

1. THE COVER ON THE OUTSIDE HAS A GOOD BIT OF WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK/SPINE IS PRETTY WORN. 

2. AFTER LISTENING TO THE WHOLE ALBUM (WHICH PLAYS 99% PERFECT) AND HAS CRISP CLEAR AUDIO ALL THE WAY ON SIDE 1.

ON SIDE 2-TRACK-2. THERE ARE SIX CONSECUTIVE MINOR POPS. THATS ALL, THE VINYL IS IN GREAT SHAPE OTHERWISE, LOOKS & SOUNDS EXCELLENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, NOT VERY MANY ISSUES AT ALL..

THE LABELS - ON SIDE 1 WITH THE LABEL LOGO INTACT AND VERY CLEAN, NO SPINDLE WEAR VISABLE. THE OTHER SIDE IS 99% WITH NO RIPS OR HANDWRITTEN NAMES ON EITHER SIDE. A TINY AMOUNT OF WEAR AROUND THE CENTRE.

I KNOW THIS IS VERY SCARCE RECORD (ALSO IN THE PROG/PSYCH ARCIVES). BUT TO BE FAIR, I'VE SET A VERY LOW STARTING BID, AS IT'S NOT PERFECT. (DOWN TO THE JACKET) ALTHOUGH THE RECORD AND LABELS ARE 99% EXCELLENT. THE POSITIVE FACTS ARE..

THE RECORD HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, WITH NO JUMPS OR SCRATCHES NICE AND FRESH LOOKING & THE AUDIO IS 99% I'VE LISTENED ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO BOTH SIDES, ITS BEEN PRESERVED VERY WELL INDEED. NO DUST OR MAJOR ISSUES.  

THE INSIDE IS VERY FRESH LOOKING (A LITTLE PENCIL WRITING OF SOME NUMBERS) BUT THIS CAN BE EASILY ERASED. IT IS NOT HEAVILY WRITTEN, SO AS NOT TO IMPRINT THE COVER. 

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A COPY OF THIS RECORD THIS IS A BARGAIN AT THE LOW STARTING PRICE.THEN PLEASE PLACE A STARTING BID, AS YOU MIGHT JUST PICK THIS RARITY UP PRETTY CHEAPLY. GOOD LUCK & PLEASE SEE MY OTHER RECORDS, MOST OF ARE IN MINT CONDITION THIS LISTING. I HAVE SOLD A LOT FROM AN ON-GOING PERSONAL COLLECTION. COMPRISING OF MAINLY ROCK/PUNK AND PSYCH GENRE.

RECORD WILL BE PACKED, OUTSIDE OF COVER & BETWEEN TO CARD STIFFENERS, IN A CARD MAILER SEALED WITH FRAGILE TAPE AT THE TOP ALSO. TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE IN TRANSIT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, OUTWITH THE POSTAL SERVICE. I CAN SEND THIS RECORDED/INTERNATIONAL IF PREFERED. THANKS.

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes 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 moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) 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 (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
