Description
I have very sadly decided to sell the remainder of my own record collection over the next few weeks. It is varied in its content from 60/70's Folk/Rock, incl rare Zeppelin and Floyd 1st presses, some Beatles and Dylan,including Japanese presses, various now deleted Audiophile pressings and female vocal. Some records I have owned since new, others I have carefully selected and picked up along the way. I have always tried to collect the best and earliest copies.
I will keep descriptions as simple as possible rather than do elaborate advertisements.
Whilst I have owned the records they have only ever been played on either a Michell Orbe or SME Model 20 turntable, both fitted with SME V tonearms and quality cartridges such as the Lyra Delos. My last phono stage was the Reference Whest PS 30RDT SE coupled to Vitus amplification and Sonus Faber Cremona M speakers. Not only has this been a revealing system, giving me an accurate assessment of all records played on it, but it has, I hope, always looked after the vinyl.
I clean all my records on an Okki Nokki RCM before putting them in new Nagaoka anti-static record sleeves and plastic outer sleeves. They have always been very carefully stored in a smoke free enviroment.
I will grade using the Record Collector system, erring on the side of caution as I have sold the SME. I am also selling the phono stage and cartrige. I am happy to discuss details with any buyers.
Please Note: Postage costs for recorded/signed for/overseas etc may be more than those stated and must be agreed and paid for before posting please.

Five Leaves Left
Island 1989 Reissue ILPS 9105
'blue with white palm tree' Label
Outer Sleeve - Excellent/Near Mint. Only 2 small creases to front cover (seen only when held flat in light)stop this being Mint. Rear cover perfect.
Labels - NM.
Vinyl visualy - Excellent +. Only a very few faint hairlines.
Vinyl play - Excellent +, possibly better. I have not played this for a while but remember it being a truly superb copy. I think it will be hard to find a better one.
These reissues sound superb. I have had 1st presses that don't sound as good.
I am happy to offer a full refund for any record a buyer feels is not as described, if returned exactly as sent within 10 days.
Please do not leave any negative feedback without contacting me first, if you feel any part of my service is not as you would have wished.
Thank You
