Description

 This rare, first press LP features 160 gram vinyl in pristine mint condition, in fact it looks as if it has never been played!   This is Traffic's most successful album and their first after reunion following a previous break-up of the band. 

The reason this LP is in this, mint condition, is that I would record it to tape then put the LP away - where it remained preserved for the past 42 years!

This is a great album, the music is classic to the era and is a must have for serious collectors.  Other attributes include:

Vinyl Condition:  Mint

Jacket Front Cover:  Excellent condition, extremely clean

Jacket Back Cover:  Excellent condition, extremely clean

Jacket Center:  Mint

Jacket Spine:  Mint

Jacket Edges:  Sharp and clean

Record Sleeve:  Original

Catalog No:  UAS 5504

Copyright:  1970 -  United Artist - USA

 

This is a remarkable original LP and a must have for your Traffic and other late 60's and early 70's music collection!

Other Comments:  The vinyl is in mint condition on this and almost all of my personal collection of LPs.  Years ago, when I first purchased them, I would always buy the LP, then record it to tape, it was then put away, unplayed to this day!  Very few LPs ever show up truly in this condition.  Check my reviews to see for yourself.

General Notes

1.  All Photos are of the actual item being auctioned using bright white lights which show any and all imperfections for your most critical review and inspection.  Most imperfections seen here will be significantly less apparent in normal room lighting.

2.  Each LP is very carefully packaged (unlike many others) to avoid damage (wrapped in tissue, then sandwiched between two cardboard panels, this cardboard panel sandwich is then taped securely together.  The record - tissue- cardboard sandwich is then sealed to the inside of custom LP shipping box which is then sealed, securely closed, on all sides).  I pack them this way so you have no disappointment as a result of unnecessary shipping damage.

3.  Vinyl Grading Guide:

            (MINT)  vinyl looks new and perfect looking.  (Not many records make this grade).

                (NEAR MINT)  vinyl is ‘like new” very clean with only minor and superficial of marks.
                (VG++)  vinyl has very minor surface marks and wear but is in excellent condition.
                (VG+)  vinyl shows some surface marks but is still in relatively good shape without any deep scratches
                (VG)  vinyl shows a fair amount of wear and maybe one or two scratches which can be felt
                (G)  vinyl shows excessive wear.

 

Important Note

* * * Since I am selling my entire collection of LPs.  Be sure to check my other LPs, presently on auction, and check back over the next few weeks as my treasured record collection is auctioned off - almost all of which are in EXCELLENT or MINT CONDITION * * *
