HI, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER ULTRA RARE L.P'S FROM MY COLLECTION, HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER, ABSOLUTE STUNNER IN THE SHAPE OF - "9.30 FLY" NOTE : NO RESERVE SET

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A RE-PRESS ITS AN ORIGINAL COPY, HOT OF THE PRESS FROM 1972. AT THE TIME OF BUYING THIS RECORD THE BAND WERE BRAND NEW & VIRTUALY UNKNOWN.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY TODAY THIS L.P. IS A LEGENDARY OBSCURE RELEASE. VERY LITTLE AIRPLAY GIVEN, I DON'T REMEMBER ANY??

IT HAS SEEN RECENT RE-RELEASE ATTENTION, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DEMAND WORLDWIDE.... THIS IS A SERIOUS SOUND INVESTMENT FOR ANY BUDDING COLLECTOR. SUCH AMAZING TRACKS & ARTWORK DESIGN, "ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST ELUSIVE PROGRESSIVE ROCK RECORDS OF ALL TIME"

HERE I WILL GIVE AN IN DEPTH DESCRIPTION, OF EACH PART TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY & HAVE ALSO PROVIDED SOME EXTRA LARGE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS FOR YOU TO VIEW, AT THE VERY END OF THE DESCRIPTION, BELOW THE GRADING SYSTEM.

THE TEXTURED GATEFOLD COVER FRONT :

HAS NO RIPPING OR WRINGWEAR, NO TEARS OR ANY HANDWRITTEN NAMES IN INK OR BIRO. THE GOLD CLOCK & FLY PRINT ARE 100% INTACT WITH NO WEAR, OR RUB. THE VERY SLIGHTEST OF WEAR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE & AT THE LEFT HANDSIDE WHERE THE COVER OPENS, BUT THIS IS BEING VERY HIGHLY CRITICAL ON MY PART. AS ITS OUT OF 100% A 90% CONDITION GIVEN. NEAR MINT!!

THE SPINE AT THE SIDE :

THIS IS FULLY INTACT WITH NO SPILTTING, OR HOLES,DINKS OR BUMPS,DENTS ANYPLACE. A LITTLE GENERAL WEAR, SO NOT PERFECT...BUT NOT ANYTHING THAT SERIOUS. THE 9.30 FLY IS STILL VISABLE. SO GENERALY EXCELLENT FOR THIS PART.

THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD :

ON A SCALE OF 100% THIS GETS A 90% FROM ME. HAPPY TO GIVE IT THIS (PLEASE SEE PHOTOGRAPHS) THE GOLD PRINT ON THE TEXTURED DESIGN IS STILL VERY READABLE, VERY, VERY SLIGHT LOSS OF SOME PARTS (PERHAPS)...BUT AGAIN A 90% GRADE IN QUALITY FOR A 39 YEAR OLD L.P. IS NOT TO BAD!! THE PHOTO PRINT OF THE BAND IS INTACT, WITH NO RIPPING OR TEARS. HAVE TO SAY...THE TEXTURED EFFECT IS STUNNING VERY BRIGHT & IMPRESSIVE. THERE ARE ALSO NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES, DAMP, WRINGWEAR, OR DUST. A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPER RARE COVER. PLEASE NOTE: NO SMELLS OF AGE OR DAMP, NO GRUBBYNESS, STAINS HERE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THE REST OF THE COVER THROUGHOUT. A REAL BEAUTY.

THE BACK COVER :

THIS ALSO WILL RECIEVE A 90% OUT OF 100%, WITH NONE OF THE ABOVE ISSUES, THAT WOULD BE A NEGATIVE ISSUE TO LIST. ONE TINY PART OF WEAR ON THE BACK, RIGHT HAND FACING SIDE...(2 TINY 1CM SCORES) AND VERY MINOR WEAR IF ANYTHING. BUT GENERALY VERY NICE. THE PRINTED WEB IS INTACT 100% AND HAS NO RIPS OR RUBS/WEAR - APART FROM THIS VERY MINISCULE ISSUE. AND A COUPLE OF SMALL PARTS OF ALMOST INVISABLE WEAR. THIS AGAIN BEING VERY CRITICAL ON MY PART, BUT BEST TO MENTION FOR ANYONE INTERESTED, AND I ALWAYS DO MY BEST TO TAKE TIME WITH DESCRIBING THESE RARE COVERS/RECORDS.

THE LABELS :

BOTH THE A & B SIDE ARE COMPLETELY FREE FROM ANY SPINDLE WEAR, INSPECTED UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS (BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT) THERE IS NOT A SINGLE SPINDLE MARK TO BE SEEN!!! NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES IN INK OR BIRO EITHER. NO RIPS OR TEARS. VERY CLEAN & VERY BRIGHT. NO FADE OR WEAR. THESE BOTH ARE OUT OF 100% - 100% GREAT INDICATION OF CARE TAKEN WHEN PLAYING. EMBER LOGO VERY BOLD WITH A NEW APPEARANCE. INCREDIBLE TO SEE KNOWADAYS. I ALWAYS TOOK GREAT CARE WITH RECORDS, AND NEVER TOOK THEM TO PARTYS ETC. JUST CAREFULL HOME PLAY FOR THESE.

THE RECORD :

INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT HALOGEN BULBS, HAS NO CHIPS, NO SCRATCHED MARKS, NO WARPING & SITS PERFECTLY 100% FLAT ON A TURNTABLE. IF YOU SCRUTINISED THIS RECORD, YOU MIGHT ONLY SEE THE LIGHTEST OF DUST INNER HAIRLINE.

THE AUDIO :

FROM THE TEST PLAY, THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PRESERVED TO ITS BEST POSSIBLE STATE OF PLAY. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF NEEDLE THRASH OR SCRATCHED MARKS HEAVY OR LIGHT. NO POPS, OR CRACKLES, TICKS, OR SKIPBACKS. ITS AS IT SHOULD BE...MINT AUDIO. REALLY CAN'T JUSTIFY THE CLARITY, I'VE RECORDED THIS L.P. BUT HAVE NOT AS YET, BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT PLAYER TO INSTALL, OR HAD TIME TO DO SO. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE EXTRA LARGE PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED BELOW THIS DESCRIPTION & SEE FOR YOURSELF JUST HOW CLEAN IT IS. HOW THE RECORD APPEARS IS HOW IT LOOKS!! I HAVE NOT ADDED ANY EFFECTS. AND HOW IT LOOKS IS ALSO HOW IT SOUNDS, CLEAN & CRISP. 100% MINT AUDIO...INCREDIBLE TRACKS & PLAY. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE VERY, VERY SLIGHTEST OF (BACKGROUND NOISE) NOT CRACKLES OR DISTORTION, JUST PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, ITS A RECORD THATS OVER 40 YEARS OLD!! SO MAYBE IN SOME OF THE LINKS, YOU MAY HEAR WHATS EXPECTED FOR A VINYL PRESS...NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HONESTLY, I WON'T OFFER RUBBISH. SO FOR THE MAIN PART I'AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS OUT OF 100% A 99.9%

ALSO CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL DUST INNER WITH PATENT NUMBER - 1,125,555 AND MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN. IN TOP SHAPE. VERY CLEAN AND PRESENTABLE.

FOR EXTRA PROTECTION I WILL PACK THE RECORD INSIDE A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR MAILED IN A "DEFENDA" RECORD MAILER. TO PROVIDE THE UPTMOST PROTECTION IN TRANSIT. SO REAL PEICE OF MIND FOR ANY OVERSEAS OR DOMESTIC DELIVERY. THESE MAILERS ARE EXTRA STRONG & DURABLE. ALSO I WILL ATTACH SOME "FRAGILE" MARKED MASKING TAPE. I WILL DO MY UPTMOST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING ARRIVES AT YOUR DOOR, AS IT APPEARS IN THESE PHOTOGRAPHS/DESCRIPTION. (OUTWITH THE P.O SERVICE).

Combined shipping is available for multiple purchases.

All items will be sent within 3 working days.

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
