Description

Please read the entire listing from start to finish to avoid any misunderstandings

I DO SHIP WORLDWIDE. IF ANYONE IS UNABLE TO PLACE A BID PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL ANY TIME DURING THE LISTING AND I WILL LET YOU BID MANUALLY.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have been a buyer of vinyl records on Ebay and elsewhere online for quite some time so I know well all pain and frustration the buyers get due to incorrect or misleading descriptions of records provided by some sellers (even 100 % positive - my experience) that unfortunately becomes an increasing problem on Ebay. So my description is made from a buyer`s and not from a seller`s standpoint. My goal is to sell and make purchase pleasant to a buyer otherwise why buy music.

Artist: Czar

Album title: S/T

Released in: 1970

Made in: UK

Label: Fontana

Catalogue ?: 6309 009

Matrix ?: 1Y/1 420 2Y/1 420

Specifics: 1st UK STEREO press

A genuine 1st pressing of this HUGE rarity. Some sellers would say: Holy Grail !!!

Sleeve Condition: Excellent +++

Fully laminated flipback cover. Please see pictures. I have tried to visualize as many flaws as possible. Great cover. A few hardly visible in an angled position creases. Spine is intact and fully readable. No splits or other damages of any kind. Slightly bumped left upper corner. No splitting, stains or damage. Tiny shelf wear to the corners and no noticeable edge.

Vinyl Visual / Audio: Excellent- / Excellent++

Side 1 has nothing but some wispy removal lines - perfect. Side 2 has a few unfortunate surface scufflines, mainly on the track “A Day in September” but they are all purely superficial, however on a loud part of the track you can hear 2-3 quiet clicks on the background produced by one of the scufflines. All in all the record sounds great. There are no jumps, skips etc at all. Just very minor background heard here and there that you may expect from a record of 40+ years old. So hard to find it at all and especially in such condition.

Labels: Near Mint

Textured FONTANA labels are in great shape. See photos. There is nothing to mention except for a couple of hardly visible spindle hole traces you can only see under strong halogen light in an angled position. Just Perfect.

Inner: Excellent

Poly-lined inner sleeve Plastic Bags Can Be Dangerous. No stains, writing or splits at all. Just a bit of age yellowing.

Pre-ultimate upgrade, I believe.

Grading is based on the Record Collectors Grading System.

PACKAGING
