  Hello my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer but will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they receive from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an album is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc, etc (yawn yawn)!

I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use cruciform boxes with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap for extra protection. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world (insured) please email for the costs.

Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase i am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.

I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a couple of pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.

I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

so here we go.........

GENESIS-TRESPASS. UK 1st pressing

CAS 1020 STEREO  1970

CHARISMA  PINK SCROLL LABEL

This is the very first pressing any where in the world...

matrix number side one(A)  CAS   1020  A-2U
matrix number side two(B)  CAS   1020  B-2U
stamper codes  side A.  1O    side B.  1R   the earliest I have ever seen for this album.

SLEEVE......... GATEFOLD, TEXTURED INSIDE AND OUT AND UNLAMINATED. This is the correct first printing of this sleeve easily identified by the textured surface inside and out, there is no information on the spine, manufactured by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford and B&C records reference. This sleeve is in superb AS NEW condition without any wear at all it looks as though it has just been made. There is nothing else to add apart from you will NEVER see a better copy. MINT

INSERT.......... Very nice indeed, showing minimal signs of handling EX+. The original white inner sleeve is in N/MINT condition.

LABELS......... No damage, no unwanted writing or stickers or tears minimal light spindle marks. N/MINT

VINYL............ The surfaces look great with minimal hairlines and no scratches, nice glossy deep black shine.

PLAYBACK.. I am fortunate to own a LINN SONDEK with an EKOS arm and ARKIV cartridge connected to LINN amps and LINN speakers that together show up the faults as well as the wonderful music that vinyl contains. As many of you will know Charisma pink scroll pressings are notoriously poor, often noisy and often with minor faults throughout. I own at least 1 copy of all of the pink scroll albums (some from new) and they all have some manufacturing fault and have some background noise/static.
Both sides look to have had very little play and it is obvious, especially by the condition of the sleeve, that it has always been handled and stored with the greatest of care. There is some occasional surface noise and a little light static noise in the quieter parts, apart from that the playback is unworn and very fresh sounding with great stereo separation with a wonderful big sound stage. EX+/EX+.

Thank you for looking.
Good luck bidding, Brian.
