Description
<< THE RECORD EXPERIENCE >>
Please read >>> The word rare is over used by near all record sellers nowadays with much false hype with record selling for example people calling a boxed label repress Rolling Stones LP rare rare rare, when it is simply false hype just to make a buyer pay more and to get the buyer to think what they are buying is great when in most cases is it not and just a common or not rare record. I never use the words stunning / awesome or wild parties ETC ETC or any of them other really annoying words that have become the standard for many sellers, I will only use the word rare if a record is. I will not bore you with the life story of an artist, as record collector myself the only thing that matters in a listing is simply the condition (both sound & visual) and what pressing you are buying and I think it is as simple as that. I hate the big cheese long winded 3 hour listings reading for example what Jimi Hendrix eat for tea in 1967 and getting off the point of condition & sound, any serious collector or fan of music will know the history of their artists. The excellent grade on my site will be of a high standard, excellent is now an abused grade. A mint- disc on this site will be like new and NOT an EX, an excellent graded disc on this site will be a great example both cover and disc, a very good graded disc and cover will still be nice with some age wear and NOT tatty old junk like I see being sold that should be graded G or fair. I sold a rare record this year and graded the disc as VG+ and the cover as Fair, the person re-sold it as VG+ cover and Mint- disc!! that is just one example of what I am talking about, it was never in the condition they resold it as.
Listings are added regular, I put Buy It Now options on many listings, I have a lot or rare and wanted vinyl in stock and I am always buying so please keep an eye out. Thanks John
YESCLOSE TO THE EDGE **Mint- Looks Never Played!**
**UK ATLANTIC 1972 (K.50012) STEREO LP + INNER COVER**
The best example I have ever had the disc looks like it has never been played, the Textured cover is also superb and now really rare as good as this a superb cover. There are lots of tatty examples around but how many as good as this.
THE VINYL HAS THE EARLY ISSUE DARK ORANGE/GREEN ATLANTIC LABELS (as a very, very early issue the orange on the label is darker and more brick red than the later brighter orange colour)
EARLY PRESS MATRIX: K 50012 A1 / K 50012 B3
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY TEXTURED (inside and out) GATEFOLD SLEEVE MADE OF A SINGLE PIECE OF CARD WITH JUST ONE SINGLE JOIN ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE SLEEVE AND A FACTORY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE
COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL GREEN LYRIC INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS A DARKER GREEN THAN LATER ISSUES AND HAS NO OPENING THUMB NOTCH (the inner is completely square).
The textured gatefold cover graded at Excellent+ condition, the best example I have seen in many year for this textured cover, there is NO bad ring wear and the edges and the spine are great with very light wear only a really superb cover.
I will grade as a strict visual Mint- condition by my standards,the disc looks new and has top condition as new playing surfaces even when graded under harsh light. The LP plays superb and is the ultimate way the here this prog classic, very rare in this top condition, this LP may never have been played till I gave it 2 carefull play grades.
Matrix Numbers Side 1 K 5002 A1 Side 2 K 5002 B3
The Labels
The labels are in Mint as new condition as you will see below.
The Inner CoverThe inner cover is ultra clean, there is 1 small 1.5" split to the bottom but this is clean, otherwise a superb example of this fragile inner graded VG+ condition due to the split. The LP is now housed in a new polylined inner cover to save the original.
We use the UK grading system E.G. >>> G / VG / EX / MINT. We also use + and - if there are slight differences between the grades.

** Please read this- If you have been buying from some dealers on ebay who continue to sell records that have been altered or have stickers placed over writing or to hide damage or in a much lesser condition than stated. I would rather sell the record in it's original state rather than cut out pieces of paper to hide the truth. I am also against skimming, steaming and other dirty tricks. I will playgrade all records and do all grading under a 100 watt light bulb which shows the truth. I will be continuously be placing quality items on ebay from now on as I want to build up my customer base. The only things that I want to come back are customers not records. Thank You.**
