Description

 This is the original UK blue label Decca pressing, the catalogue numbers can be seen on the picture of the label.

I am not a vinyl collector or dealer, just somone who happened to pick this up when working in a record shop in Cambridge, England back in the early seventies. I also have a copy of "Amaryllis", even rarer I believe, which I will be listing later today. This album has been played maybe three or four times in its life, but has been kicking around in my record collection and moved house a few times, so the sleeve isn't quite as pristine as the vinyl. I am no expert at grading, so have been following guidelines I found online for UK collectors.

Sleeve: VG+ The front has some creasing at bottom and left, a bit of separation of laminate from cardboard near the spine (which I didn't notice till the camera flash made it visible in the photo), a small ring mark at the top from the lp edge, and a discolouration down the right hand side about 3mm wide where the laminate didn't reach the edge.The spine is pretty good apart from three small creases across it which are less than 1cm long. The back, being white and not laminated, is a bit discoloured in places and has some ring marking top and bottom. The original inner sleeve has some discolouration along the lines of glue holding the inner plastic sleeve to the outer paper one.

Vinyl: EX- The record looks pristine, barely even any paperscuffing, but has one very small scratch on side 2, track 2 that produces audible clicks on the right channel during about a minute of a very quiet passage (if it wasn't so quiet this wouldn't be audible at all, it diappears once the track gets louder). I had to look hard to even see the scratch. Otherwise the sound is near perfect, no  crackling etc.
I recorded the whole album and it can be heard in high-quality mp3 from my Dropbox here

The clicks are at 21.38 -22.28
