It's been a  while...  But we're back to commence our regular selection of true Nr Mint Psych/Prog/Folk & Classic Rock vinyl LP's & 7"s. By way of apologies to our regular buyers for being away so long, we have some very special auctions commencing this week. Check them all out Here

Here is another gem from my own mostly Nr Mint personal collection (which I am selling off gradually to lessen the pain...) I have been collecting very rare vinyl for a long time now. As a collector, I have been very critical about the condition of the records I have chosen to buy over the years, and only selected the most pristine 1st pressings from all over the UK.  My collection is therefore filled with not only the rarest UK 1st pressings, but also records of the highest grade quality condition, some of the best you will probably ever come across. Sadly, all will be finding new homes in the near future. As I said, I am very strict with my grading, so when I describe a record as Nr Mint - you can rest assured that it will be a true Nr Mint record (I never grade any records as Mint because Mint does not exist in the world of vintage vinyl - in my opinion, as soon as the record has been taken home from the store it is no longer Mint!!) I hope you enjoy my listings.

I think you all no how rare this record is! You are bidding on a Stunning ORIGINAL UK United Artists Records 1973 *Nr Mint* UK 1st Pressing of one of the COOLEST space-rock records ever made; the Seminal 'Space Ritual' by Hawkwind!!!! This the very rare UK 1st Pressing with cream/brown UA labels with the important 1st press 'Liberty - United Artists Records Ltd' rim text and the 1st Issue 6-panel fold-out  sleeve. What's more, it also comes complete with the MASSIVELY rare Log Book AND the original patterned 'psych' inner sleeves! It is in fully complete condition. And here's the kicker; it is in is in pristine *Near Mint* Condition! Fully complete copies of this record in this kind of condition come around very very, very rarely. Don't miss it!

The Classic 1st Press textured Cream/Brown United Artists Labels are in stunning *Near Mint* condition! There are possibly just one or two tiny spindle lines on each side (these can only be seen when angling the record toward strong light). This record has only ever been played at most twice before! The gramophone rims containing the all-important matrix are also MINT!!!

As described above - *both* discs are also in pristine **Nr Mint** condition!!! NO Hairlines, NO Scratches, No Scuffing, NO Groovewear, NO warping, in fact there are NO blemishes of any kind (save for possibly one or two wispy paperlines) I may as well grade these discs as Mint!!! Nr Mint does not do them justice! I am very pleased to state that they both play as good as they look with NO Crackle, NO Pops, NO Jumps, NO Skips and NO hissing!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I am describing a 35 year old record here, not one made last week!!! I can say nothing else about these chunky 1st press discs - they are absolutely perfect and Near Mint!!!

The awesome UK 1st Issue un-laminated 6-panel fold-out sleeve is also in superb condition! There are NO Tears/rips (very common with this sleeve), NO seam splits, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!!  It is completely blemish free!!! It has just the faintest touch of age to the edge and corner. This amazing sleeve easily grades as Excellent+ at the very least!

The Log Book is simply in Mint Condition. It has never been removed from the sleeve except for these photographs! Pristine

Both Psych inners are also Nr Mint. The discs were put in replacement poly-lines sleeves a very long time ago to protect these original inners (which is what they will come shipped in), therefore neither inner has any of the seam splitting or seam wear so commonly seen with these fragile inners. 

Do not underestimate the rarity of this record in this condition!!! Fully complete Nr Mint UK 1st press copies are in very high demand today. If you have never heard it, you will not find another copy that plays more pristinely than this and looks better- it will blow you away!!! If you are a collector/investor, the price of this record (in this condition) will just rise and rise. This record would be an essential addition to any highest grade Mint- 1st press psych collection.  You will not see another like it!!! Don't miss this one!!!

Please check out our feedback and bid with confidence as this is a no reserve auction with a very low starting price!  Don't miss this one as the Original UK 1st Press of this seminal LP rarely turn up nowadays (and NEVER EVER complete and in this condition!)

I have tried to show you the record from all angles - there's nothing to hide!!! If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a UK 1st press of this LP in this kind of condition is impossible today!!! Good Luck!!!

I will be selling my entire UK 1st Press collection of 1960/70's Psych/Prog./Beat/Rock & Folk over the coming months, most of these records are in Mint- condition, many having 3 figure book prices. All will be listed here on eBay UK, most with a £2.99 start and No Reserve - bookmark my pages. Like the vast majority of my collection, this record has been archived upright in a thick outer PVC sleeve in a smoke & damp free environment since purchase!

All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards.  If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
