Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Kevin Ayers called "Shooting At The Moon" and is an ORIGINAL 1971 UK Pressing on the ORIGINAL Harvest label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE HARVEST LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1970 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 IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE RAREST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN VERY LATE 1970 - AND DELETED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IN MID 1971!!!! HOWEVER - IN THAT TIME, TWO PRESSINGS WERE ACTUALLY MADE!!!! FIRSTLY THERE WAS THE VERY COMMON 1ST PRESSING - WITH A FLIPBACK COVER AND NO EMI BOX (WHICH WAS HOW 90% OF ALL PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE MADE LIKE!) AND SECONDLY (JUST BEFORE THIS LP WAS DELETED!) - CAME THIS IMPOSSIBLY RARE 2ND PRESSING, WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES EVER MADE!!!! THIS AMAZINGLY RARE 2ND PRESSING - STILL HAS THE 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' LABEL TEXT (BUT WITH AN 'EMI BOX' ON THE LABELS), BUT INCREDIBLY IT HAS AN IMPOSSIBLY RARE LAMINATED COVER WITH NO FLIPBACKS AT ALL!!!! THIS ULTRA RARE 2ND PRESSING IS FAR FAR RARER THAN ANY 1ST PRESSING - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK 2ND PRESSING ON 2ND PRESS HARVEST LABEL, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND ULTRA RARE 2ND PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' LAMINATED 'NON-FLIPBACK' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Harvest UK 2nd Pressing from 1971 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SHSP 4005 on the ORIGINAL Harvest label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s 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, only 1 MEGA light TINY scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! 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 slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT 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 comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ULTRA RARE 2nd Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Laminated 'Non-Flipback' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
