Hi and welcome to my auction. I am in the process of selling off my LP’s which I have acquired over many years. The majority of the LP’s I have bought, were obtained by myself when they were released; they have been handled with care and have been well looked after over the years. Sadly space at home is required for other things so, the time has arrived for me to pass these much loved LP’s on to someone else who will appreciate and prize them like I do. The LP’s have not been ‘in and out’ of records shops since their release, or owned by anyone else.

I am not a shop or a dealer, or a collector per-say, or corporate businessman. I am a music enthusiast who enjoys the rock, prog-rock, folk, and blues music of the 60’s and 70’s. I respect music and the vinyl on which it is pressed. My feedback on eBay speaks for itself of selling my personal LP collection. How I describe my LP’s is absolutely accurate to the best of my abilty and as akin to the esteemed 'Record Collector bible' as possible – I am honest and have no reason to mislead bidders. I always start with a low starting price simply to attract views. I have copied/burned many of my LP’s to disc, so as some kind of small insurance I will always have them in my collection; be it on plastic, rather than on beloved vinyl.  I will be selling LP’s from the acclaimed music stables such as Island; Vertigo; Atlantic; Blue Horizon; EMI Harvest, etc etc, and by how they are affectionately known today as; Pink Island; Atlantic Plum and Vertigo Swirl, record labels.

VINYL

EX+

Immaculate - the thick heavyweight vinyl of the LP is in a word, stunning! I cannot overstate how good vinyl sound quality on this LP really is. It is easily an EX+ grading! There are no scratches; hardly a click or pop; no jumps; and no ghastly ‘breakfast frying’ sound. The deep sounding audio quality on this vinyl is superb and you will be amazed that an LP of 43yrs old can still retain such a brilliant sound.  From the run-in song on side 1 through to the run-out song on side 2, every song is crystal clear and plays with superb clarity, and more importantly sounds brilliant! Visually, the LP has the usual very odd wispy paper mark, resulting from being removed and replaced from the poly-lined inner sleeve, but that’s it. You really will be very hard pressed to get better than this, and when the winning bidder sits and listens to the LP, it is only then they will appreciate what I am describing right now – outstanding sound quality.

SLEEVE

EX+

The original fully laminated gatefold sleeve is also  in superb condition - no writing; no ink marks; no pencil; no smudges;  no stains; no tears or rips or splits or creases and is still sturdy and robust. There is no 'lifting' of the laminate on any part of the cover whatsoever. The wheel rotates perfectly and is stil robust and fluid. The cover has the thick spine which is still square and the writing/print on the spine is still clearly prominent. There is hardly any edge-ware and has no feathering on the opening; the edge is clean and sharp. Inside the gatefold cover all of the txt and images are as vivid as when the LP was released. All of the print (text) is still sharp and clear. Printed on the inside back it states the LP cover was produced by E.J. Day & Co, London and Bedford.

The LP is housed in the plain white original inner with grey print patent numbers: 800513 and 'Made in England' on bottom right hand of sleeve. 

LABELS

EX+

Both of the beautiful Atlantic Plum labels are as near to perfect as you will get. The pictures speak for themselves, the labels are pristine. There is no rubbing; no ink marks; no rip or no tears; no stains; no smudges; an no sticker marks. Both of the plum labels are still vivid and bright with clear and vivid print. There is the very faintest of spindle marks around the spindle hole but believe me when I say these can only be seen if turned towards a light. These attributes are actually indicative of how many times the LP has been on a deck – at a rough estimate no more than 3 dozen times in 43yrs.

                                                                            This is a top LP throughout

The winning bidder will not be disappointed with this LP; it is as good as it gets and is from my personal collection.
