Description
This LP has the date of 1969 on both the cover and labels but is listed as a 1970 issue in the catalogues so maybe released In Memoriam? Anyway, it's nice for a change to describe a Blue Horizon LP with a laminated front!
No seam splits, rips, tears or writing and the corners and mouth are sharp. The lamination wraps around just past the spine which has kept the latter very nice thank you. So all good apart from ringwear, a few creases and the odd spot of rubbing on the matt back which is hardly worth mentioning but I have anyway for the sake of completeness. Condition wise has to be 9/10.
On the vinyl run-offs the machine etched matrix numbers are 7-63223-A1 for side one and 7-63223-B1 for side two. The labels are clean and undefaced but note the slight manufacturing blemishes on the paper labels. And evidence of only a handful of play as witnessed by the spindle tracks.
And the vinyl is in very nice and shiny condition; obviously has seen minimal action as described above. Angling under the searching and honest table light I see some paper / age related storage scuffs. And on the run-off on side 1 is a 2cm light scratch. That said I would still rate the vinyl as 8/10 for condition.
The inner sleeve is the original and intact plain die cut paper jobby with signs of age browning.
That's it. As always I'll put the record outside the cover to avoid knifing and will pack well.
99p start, no reserve, free UK postage and auction will run to the end as usual. Thanks.
