	£		53
	$		70

ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK  COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 1ST PRESSING OF THE RARELY SEEN 1ST SELF-TITLED ALBUM BY ATOMIC ROOSTER ON THE EARLIEST "ROUGH TEXTURED" DESIGN B&C LABELS WITH MEGA-THICK VINYL. THERE WERE ALTERNATIVE MIXES ISSUED OF THE LP WITH THIS ONE HAVING WHATS KNOWN AS THE "FLUTE MIX" AND THE DISC HAS A2/B2 MATRIXES-SOON WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED ON LATER PRESSINGS WITH DIFFERENT MIXES AND MATRIXES DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!

 LOCATING A 1970 EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WERE VERY FEW SALES FOR THIS LP AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH A FEW FAINT AND WISPY COVER REMOVAL TYPE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THE RECORD HAS NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS. 

STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC PLAYS AS EXCELLENT! 

VERY THICK VINYL.

THERE IS VERY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR BUT NO WRITING OR STAINING.

THE COVER HAS NO WRITING OR REPAIRS! THERE IS A SPLIT AT THE CENTRE OF OF THE SPINE EDGE AND A TINY SURFACE TEAR IN THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER,A LITTLE EDGE AND RING WEAR AS WELL AS SOME MINOR CREASES. PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE RARE PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs FROM ME FOR AUCTION ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND MORE PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs TO FOLLOW.

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
