Three Man Army

A Third Of A Lifetime LP

Pegasus UK 1971

PEG 3

Vinyl Condition VG+

Sleeve Condition VG+

A lovely copy of this 1971 debut album from British hard rock group Third Man Army.  The gatefold sleeve is graded VG+, there are no spine splits and the text on the spine is clear and complete as a result.  There is some staining on the front cover, inside the gatefold sleeve which is mainly along the top and right hand side edge and on the reverse there is mild staining at the top - the pictures indicate this.  The text on the reverse is clear and so is the logo.  There are no tears whatsoever.  Moving on to the vinyl itself this is housed in a white paper sleeve and has been graded VG+.  The labels are extremely bright and have lost none of their colour, there are no marks or scratches.  Amazingly there is extremely little evidence of this record being played around the spindle.  The matrices indicate this is a first pressing (A-1U, B-1U).  Side A has a hairline scratch between tracks 1 and 2 which does not affect the audio.  Side B has a hairline scratch between tracks 2 and 3 which does not affect the audio. There is some audible surface noise on Side A.  Overall the vinyl itself has still maintained a very bright shiny sheen and this is a fantastic example of a how a 43 year old record can look when it has been properly cared for.

Who We Are

We are BA1 Records, a collective of passionate music lovers with an eye for spotting great vinyl.  We source our vinyl from a diverse range of places - we’ve bought private collections, sourced from car boot sales and  snapped up some fantastic items in charity shops.  We set up our store after being frustrated with the quality of some of the records we had previously bought on eBay.  As a result we are ultra-strict about the grading of our records and want you to be 100% satisfied that the record you buy doesn’t disappoint in any way.

Postage & Packaging

We are extremely careful when packing your vinyl.  All of our records are removed from their sleeves and placed in a plastic outer.  We ship with rigid stiffeners for added protection.

All prices are inclusive of postage and packaging to the UK only.

We ship items under £20 by Royal Mail 2nd Class.

All items over £20 are shipped by Royal Mail Signed For 2nd Class.

Record Grading 

We use the Record Collectors Grading System as defined by Record Collector Magazine.  We also introduce + and - where appropriate.  All items are graded visually under strong direct light.  Your complete 100% satisfaction is of huge importance to us and we therefore give us much detail as we can in our descriptions and pictures. 

Mint

We do not use this grade unless the record is completely unplayed and the sleeve is in perfect condition

Excellent

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The sleeve may have slight wear/creasing.

Very Good

The record has obviously been played many times, but it displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.  Normal wear and tear on the cover is acceptable.

Good

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has detoriated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.  The cover suffers from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits.
