  *******************************************************************************

THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE OR MUCH SIGNS OF USE.  

A 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR AN LP OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A  BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS IN THIS CONDITION!

NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED,THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO FADING etc.

PLEASE LOOK AT  THE PHOTO OF THE BRIGHTNESS AND SHARPNESS OF THE LABEL AND THE COVER!

NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO SPILLAGES,NO STAINING,JUST A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES.  

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE  LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER 40 YEARS AGO.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THOSE THAT DID WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY.THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.

CHECK OUT YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE  YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!  THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THESE ARE GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE THICK PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER ,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

Just how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!  

The mixes are Superb,Rich,warm and full of bass, with a natural warmth from  around 40 YEARS AGO!

In the early 1970s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

The early 1970s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear PROGRESSIVE ROCK and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE STEREO SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER LP-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!  

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY BOTH OF THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £12 STARTING price with no annoying reserve.   

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER  LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
