A LOVELY copy of this ultra collectable LP. The second Genesis LP, 'Trespass' is largely regarded as the first step Genesis took towards realizing their full progressive and commercial potential. Featuring an earlier line-up without Collins and Hackett, the album features some real fan favourites and some excellent musicianship.

As with all my listings, I'm starting this LP LOW and with NO RESERVE. All items are packed professionally and with care! Don't hesitate to ask questions...

CONDITION OF VINYL: EXCELLENT +. All my gradings conform to the Record Collector's Price Guide Reckoner, and I DO NOT overgrade to sell records. I believe in giving as clear a picture as possible. Both sides of this disc are in STUNNING, EXCELLENT condition. SIDE A is sleek and shiny throughout, and the ONLY blemish I can detect on the whole record is a paper scuff at the end of 'Looking For Someone,' which DOES NOT affect playback. The run in groove is VERY clean and has no marks, scratches or needlewear. SIDE B is LITERALLY like a NEW record. Absolutely NO marks, scratches, wear, NOTHING. The run-off grooves on both sides are clean as a whistle. Every band on this side is PERFECT with NO paper scuffs! I am absolutely certain the majority of sellers would grade this record as NEAR MINT! The LABELS are graded at VERY GOOD, the reason being there is some faint writing on both sides. One side is the previous owner's name, and the other is the date and place he bought the record. Both these inscriptions are written to the side and DO NOT obscure the text. The writing is in light biro. These slabs are beautiful to behold, I'm sure you WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

CONDITION OF SLEEVE/INSERT: VERY GOOD. The overall condition of the sleeve is VERY GOOD, on the account that it is the ORIGINAL textured sleeve and was unlaminated, causing some minor wear and tear. I have highlighted these aspects on the photographs (how many sellers do this??). The SPINE is stiff and solid, with some minor spots of wear at the edges, mostly at the top. The front sleeve has been preserved very well, with only some minor discoloration at the two corners (see photos). There is some slight staining on the rear of the sleeve, the first spot being below the wine red border at the top, and the other below the shadow of the knife. These are probably caused be tea, I imagine, and do not show too much as they are somewhat faded. The overall effect of the art work is NOT lessened as you can see from the photos. The inner gatefold is a little bit bumpy with age, with some discoloration along the top edge. The card used on this sleeve is almost like a textile, it is lovely to touch, and I'm sure a school eraser will take off some of the discoloration. The INSERT is VERY GOOD, being solid and stiff through out. There is minute tear at the bottom right hand corner which is not really noticeable unless you look for it! This is a GREAT copy of this RARE LP, and I'm sure you will appreciate my going into detail to give you the full picture!!

I am an avid collector of many, many genres and keep my records in IMMACULATE condition. I grade according to the Record Collector Price Guide 'Ready Reckoner' and almost NEVER sell anything which is below EXCELLENT condition. Rest assured that my EXCELLENT is bloody EXCELLENT! Oh yeah and I NEVER GRADE ANYTHING MINT THAT IS NOT SEALED!! Near Mint is the highest grading I use for unsealed records.

All records will be sent within two days MAXIMUM of receipt of payment (usually within 4/5 hours of payment received). Your record will be expertly packed in a professional brown mailer, using one or two stiffeners and housed in a PVC 12" sleeve with the record in a paper inner placed outside the sleeve as is standard practice. I've always been lucky when buying records from ebay (save the odd occasion) and would like all buyers of my records to be 100% SATISFIED!

DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!
