Description

Suite London/ The Peddlers Original UK 1972 LP In Very Good Plus Condition VINYL. Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.

Here offered for auction is an original 1972 copy of The Peddlers' magnum opus on the Philips' label - and their masterpiece.

This is a scarce LP that is hard to find in decent shape - if at all. It’s a highly original album that spawned the chillout and lounge sound - decades later. Way ahead of its time, it’s so much more than the feeble "chillout" label - terrific playing, great sound and simply marvellous dynamics. A must-have record for anyone's collection.

Why then am I selling it ? Simply because in my quest for a better copy I recently found and bought another one and can’t justify keeping two copies. In preparing this one for sale, I decided to give it another 'test-drive' and found, to my surprise, that it’s much better than I had recalled - almost as good as my recent acquisition.

I’d describe it as very good plus. It’s not perfect - there is some noise at the beginning of each side (so typical of 60s/70s LPs from poor handling ), but it then settles down and gets on with the business of reproducing sublime music. There is the odd pop and crackle here and there but nothing major and definitely not :

Any deep scratches

Any jumps

Any skips

Any sticks

Any repetitive and annoying ticks from deeper hairlines

An excellent copy, therefore and rarely found in this condition. Having written all this am actually in two minds whether to sell it or not ! I also own the recent and expensive reissue and while glad to have it, it certainly does not have the presence and dynamics of an original.

The sleeve is in good shape. Please examine the photos - the all-black design was never a great idea as it shows off ringwear but as you can see, it’s survived almost 50 years quite well. The pinched spine is somewhat worn.

See photos of the labels for tracklisting.
