Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Fleetwood Mac called "Then Play On" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK EXPORT 1st Pressing on the 1st Press '3-Colour' Reprise label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF FLEETWOOD MAC'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS AN ULTRA RARE UK 'EXPORT' 1ST PRESSING - WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT SEEN THIS LP BEFORE AS AN ULTRA RARE EXPORT 1ST PRESSING - I WILL EXPLAIN IN DETAIL. FIRSTLY, WHAT SHOWS THIS TO BE A GENIUNE UK EXPORT PRESSING IS THE ULTRA RARE COVER!!!! WHILST THE UK DOMESTIC 1ST PRESSINGS USED A GREY GATEFOLD STYLE COVER (SIMILAR TO THE U.S. 1ST PRESSINGS) - SOME COUNTRIES DIDNT WANT THE STANDARD COVER (SOME WIERDLY EVEN FOUND IT OFFENSIVE?) AND HAD A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COVER INSTEAD!!!! HENCE THE NEED FOR A 1ST EXPORT PRESSING WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COVER!!!! AND PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS COVER WITH THE COMMON 2ND UK PRESSING OF THIS LP - BECAUSE THE 2ND UK PRESSED COVERS OF THIS LP WERE ACTUALLY DIFFERENT TO THIS ONE, BEING UNLAMINATED, HAVING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN, AND HAD THE 'K' SERIES CAT NUMBERS ASWELL. WHEREAS THIS LP HAS AN ULTRA RARE EXPORT 1ST PRESS COVER PRINTED BY 'RICHARD DAVIS LTD', AND IS FULLY LAMINATED!!!! BUT WHAT REALLY SHOWS THIS TO BE AN ULTRA RARE 1969 UK EXPORT 1ST PRESSING IS THE MEGA RARE CAT NUMBER ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER!!!! THE CAT NUMBER IS 'RESLP 9000' - INSTEAD OF THE USUAL RSLP 9000 - WITH THIS EXTRA 'E' IN THE CAT NUMBER STANDING FOR 'EXPORT'!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE RAREST & MOST SOUGHT 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK EXPORT 1ST PRESSING ON 1ST PRESS '3-COLOUR' REPRISE LABEL, 1ST PRESS A1/B1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, 1ST PRESS 'EXPORT ONLY' 'RESLP' CAT NUMBER, AND 1ST PRESS 'EXPORT ONLY' FULLY LAMINATED 'RICHARD DAVIS LTD' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Reprise UK EXPORT 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is RESLP 9000 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Reprise label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! SUPERB RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Richard Davis Ltd' FULLY Laminated EXPORT Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO sticker marks, shiny laminate, NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, only 2 or 3 creases, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS AN ULTRA RARE EXPORT - AND THE ALL TIME RAREST 1ST PRESS VERSION EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
