MGM 2353 058 1972 UK

Condition Vinyl VG+/Sleeve EX+

This is the Very Rare UK Pressing on the `Blue/Gold` MGM Label in `Garrod & Lofthouse` sleeve - matrix/Runout Groove - 2353058 A//1 - 2353058 B//1

Rarity - Absolutely!! This is a reissue of the bands rarest album on the Verve label, however because it was such an early re-issue (1972) and made in a very limited quantity with different sleeve it has become the bands 2nd RAREST UK release!!! This captures the bands sound in all their Psychedelic Glory (very much in the early Pink Floyd Mould) before they moved into their more recognisable progressive sound and its easily as good as anything from that 1969 Psych period!!!

Vinyl - Quite Thick vinyl, Plays Great (just a few crackles start of side 2 nothing bad though!!) no sticks or Jumps etc!! - under very bright spotlight I can see a fair amount of light sleeve removal scuffs - there are no scratches visible or feelable!!

Labels - UNDAMAGED & CLEAN Labels - under bright lights there are spindle lines visible showing this record has had some play, but not been overplayed! - comes with white `Made in England` factory inner sleeve!

Sleeve - Nice `Garrod & Lofthouse` Sleeve, Lovely `Pinched` Spine, minimal edge wear, NO Ring Wear, a couple of small creases, still a NICE copy! Sharp opening - NO Tears/NO Graffiti/NO Sticky Label Damage etc !! 

Tracklisting:

Place of My Own/Ride/Policeman/Love Songs with Flute/Cecil Runs

Magic Man/Grandma`s Lawn/Where But for Caravan Would I Be

Why not buy more than 1 item and save on postage costs

Just a note on Grading - I always play grade my records right through and unless stated they do not jump, skip or stick when played!!! I always view the vinyl under a very bright halogen spotlight!!! Why? because although I have excellent vision when viewed under a normal light or even worse a fluorescent tube (most shops have these) the vinyl will not show up how marked it truly is - some view records in daylight but this has to be done in direct sunlight to see the hidden marks - I do this so that I can give the full picture and should please even the most `critical` of collectors. Also I photograph the WHOLE of the cover (I don't cut off the corners or edge) so you can see as close as possible what you will receive!!

Postage/packing: I use new professional record mailers with several cardboard stiffeners to protect the cover - the record will be placed in a NEW clean inner sleeve, removed from the record cover (saves ringwear/pushing through seams) and together with original old inner placed in a NEW pvc outer sleeve - I also include recorded delivery as standard in the overall cost in the UK (70p) it covers up to £30 in case of loss - it will be optional for international packages (as it is more expensive) but still advisable! - please note complete postage charges (below) before bidding!

Payment - I am quite patient but if I have waited a couple of weeks for money and sent reminders unless there is a good reason I will claim back my fees and give a nonpaying bidder strike - I don't charge for Paypal!

Returns - If you feel there are any problems with an item you have purchased please feel free to contact me - I will be glad to discuss the matter as I want people to be happy with their purchase!!!
