On offer here is a  mega rare original album by self titled Spirit of John Morgan   released in 1969 U.K..on the extremely collectible original Carnaby Union Jack label CNLS 6002This is rarer than the proverbial hen's teeth and this is the first copy which I have seen in 20 years.It was highly valued 20 years ago and has gone up in value dramatically in recent years..I would grade this as EX/M I am of the opinion this album is becoming impossible to track down..The music is brilliant progressive rock.The matrix numbers are A1/B1. I am not an expert on matrices but this looks as if it is the earliest ever .Like most albums on this label,this record will continue to rise in value for the foreseeable future so would be an excellent investment.Just have a look at the photographs.
Labels
These are brilliantly crisp and bright with no writing or marks on them and I could not see any spindle wear.The record looks as if it has not been played many times. 
Vinyl
This is a brilliant example.Even under the strongest light I could not see any scuffs or scratches not even wispy lines which would be caused by removing the record from the sleeve .There are no repeating grooves.Even on the quietest tracks there was imperceptible background noise .Some of these 1960's albums like Harvest often played with audible background crackle and hiss even when purchased new from a record shop and were not cared for properly but this album is a welcome exception.The album has been cleaned with a professional cleaning machine worth £1000s but in reality I did not need to pay the fee for this.I would grade the vinyl M or near M on both sides.I have played it through on a Linn Sondek player with Goldring cartridge.It is amazing for a record  nearly 50 years old,
Sleeve
This is a flipback sleeve which is fragile and is prone to excessive wear.I have seen many sleeves which are badly worn even torn and usually the writing on the spine is missing or illegible.On this sleeve there is slight wear on the corners as can be seen from the photographs There is just a tiny amount of wear  on the spine but all the writing on the spine is clearly legible with no missing letters.There is no wear on the top and bottom edges.There is no writing or names on the sleeve .Overall this sleeve is EX and I think it would be hard to get a better one.The item is nearly 50 years old after all.
Overall ,I do not think this album will disappoint any winning bidder and to give everyone a chance,I have deliberately set a low start price for the auction.It goes without saying that if anyone is disappointed,I offer a compromise or a full refund..Please contact me directly if there is a problem. If you are secretly happy, please do not contact me simply to negotiate a lower price than the amount bid.This defeats the purpose of ebay.
Postage
I offer free postage to U.K.buyers and will ship world wide.£10 for Europe,£15 for rest of world.I have in the past excluded certain countries such as Russia and the Ukraine.In Russia sadly parcels are held up at customs ,go missing or the item can take 10 to 12 weeks to be delivered.Buyers would need to be patient and accept the purchase at their own risk but I will send all items tracked and can email a copy of the tracking receipt.I know some sellers have stopped sending to certain countries.
Payment
I refer PayPal in the U.K. but would accept a cheque or postal order.PayPal only rest of world.I do not have a facility to accept credit cards unless this is possible via PayPal.
