Description
I am selling off my father's record collection. He passed away in December last year. He was an avid collector, and these are the remnants of his collection. I am grading them by the Record Collector's Magazine guide. This album is in NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT condition, complete with UNDAMAGED-RIVET ZIPPO LIGHTER SLEEVE (often the rivets are torn/worn) very rare. Possibly never played. Just to be clear, there is a little seam split at bottom, about 2cm, showing as best as it can be seen in photo 3, and tinY crease on edge in photo 4. Vinyl is mint, mint, mint. This is a NEAR MINT celebratory re-issue in 2001. Some history about the cover... The first 20,000 copies of the original 1973 vinyl release, designed by graphical artists Rod Dyer and Bob Weiner, were encased in a sleeve depicting a Zippo lighter. The sleeve functioned like a real Zippo lighter case, opening at a side hinge to reveal the record within. As machinery available was not sufficient to rivet the upper and lower halves of the sleeve together, the assembly operation required hand-manufacture and was deemed too expensive to mass-produce. Hence, subsequent pressings are recognizable by their alternative cover art containing an Esther Anderson portrait of Marley smoking a "spliff" or joint. Copies of the record from these original pressings have since become collectors' items. Side 1 - matrix 314-548-893-1A "TJ" STERLING "SNA" = mint Side 2 - matrix 314-548-893-1B ""TJ" STERLING "SNA" = mint As I am not a professional tradesman, if following purchase you do not agree with grading, all records are returnable. To limit my cost exposure I will only refund item purchase price, not delivery postage. I hope thats ok. For album playlist and recording history, use google. All items posted will be re-inforced with cardboard inserts, and records mailed out of original inner-sleeves so as to not bust inner-sleeve edges during post. For items sold for value over £5, I will only offer recorded delivery. I can post Iin UK for £4.50 but this is not insured, at your risk. I recommend Special Delivery, at my risk.
