AYNSLEY DUNBAR RETALIATION - same - UK Liberty LP first press stereo

Time to sell more of my vinyl collection - some classical, some jazz, some pop, rock, folk & psych. I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or the next generation, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Initially I am just picking at random from duplicates, stuff I have on CD and items unplayed for ages so there should be a decent mix. You never know, there might just be something to suit your taste.
 
This listing is for a copy of The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation's debut album.

Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation -
self-titled
UK Liberty blue label
1968
Cat Number: 83154E dead wax A1/B1
Mode: Stereo

The Album:
Debut for Aynsley's band, formed soon after he left John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (on A Hard Road) and before he floated around playing with Zappa, Whitesnake and several others. Classic UK late 60's blues album including of course the obligatory drum solo. 

Condition:
Cover:  Single sleeve, fully laminated, is not too bad. Some light ring wear, creasing of the laminate and age related discolouration. Apart from all that, it's strong and intact with no tears stickers or writing and with fully legible spine.
Labels: Blue labels, bright and clean. Quite a few spindle marks on each side but no writing or stickers.
Vinyl: Well played vinyl, quite a few light scuffs and scrapes visible. Plays with some background crackling in places and the occasional pop but it generally plays very well. I have never attempted to clean this album, so there's every chance that a good clean will improve playback even more by removing any dust and static. .

Overall:
A decent sleeve housing a playable copy of this album - I'd guess that this might be professionally graded at (cover / vinyl) VG / VG-

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.

Postage: Royal Mail are 'restructuring' prices from April 2013. Not necessarily all bad news, it depends what you buy - looks like a single LP posted to UK or Europe is now more expensive, but within UK revised weight ranges might allow up to 4 LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. Rest of world prices seem to have reduced slightly. Approximate prices for normal postage - UK £3.35 for up to 1kg (could be up to 4 LPs), Europe £5.30 + £1.80 each additional, Rest of world £7.55 + £2.70 each additional item - these amounts include estimated actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 35p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener). 
Losses: I seem to recall seeing that Royal Mail are also reducing maximum compensation from around £45 to £20 unless items are sent signed-for. If your purchase is over £20 please decide whether to assume that extra risk or ask for a signed for service.

I'm happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment.

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. My attempt at grading is based on Record Collector's grading system. Please therefore read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - and I guess you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. Questions welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.
