VAN MORRISON UK 1st PRESS "Astral Weeks" LP ULTRA-RARE Orange Label NEAR MINT

SEE OUR OTHER MINT ARCHIVE 60'S LP'S & MEMORABILIA

Here's a beautiful VG++/ NEAR MINT UK first pressing of Van Morrison's ASTRAL WEEKS, with A2/B2 stampers (the first ones) on Warner Bros Records, with the textured orange label. The disc here is as beautiful as you could ever hope to find, and we'd guess it's been played no more than four or five times, and very carefully at that.

The cover has some light wear; the laminated front is shiny, but there is some creasing to the top left corner, and some light wear on the back (probably easily cleaned up with an eraser.) This is by far the nicest UK 1st pressing of this ultra rare and sought after LP that we've seen. The original lined inner sleeve is included.

As nice a copy of this classic British LP as you could ever hope to find.

Side A Matrix - WS 1768A-2 *T STEREO

Side B Matrix - WS 1768B-2 *T

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.

US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.75% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.

International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.  586 (GS 6.8 (586))
