T. Rex The Slider original 1972 LP NM/EX++ condition Marc Bolan Tony Visconti

Hello.

You are bidding on a copy of T. Rex The Slider.

This album is an original LP vinyl pressing, not a vinyl reissue (nor is it a CD or CD-R for that matter).

This album is the stereo pressing and was released in 1972 on Reprise Records, (MS 2095).

The LP and it’s sleeve are graded separately and described in detail below:

This LP is in near mint condition (NM to EX+++) and conservatively graded a 8.9 out of 10. The LP has 2 very minor, hardly noticeable paper marks on each side of the LP. There is another small blemish that is only visible with a discerning eye beneath bright light. These do not affect the sound quality or playability whatsoever.  This LP truly looks unbelievable - super clean!!

The gatefold sleeve is also in excellent (EX++) and conservatively graded an 8.8 out of 10. The front, back and corners all look fine - no scuffs, tears or ring wear. The inside of the gatefold also looks amazing, but there are several light creases on the left side towards the spine (see photos).

Overall, this LP looks & sounds great - practically time capsule condition! It has been stored in a climate-controlled, smoke-free environment away from sunlight.

Due to a medical condition that left me sight-impaired for nearly 7 months in 2012, a lack of health insurance and lack of employment while I recovered, I am selling off nearly everything I own to catch up on overdue bills. Bid with confidence knowing that you, the high bidder, will be helping a worthy cause.
