	$		46

ATTENTION PROCOL HARUM AND 1970s BRITISH PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!     HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 STEREO 1ST ISSUE OF THE RARELY SEEN ALBUM BY PROCOL HARUM:"HOME" WHICH WAS ONLY A MODEST SELLER FAILING TO REACH THE UK TOP 40 ALBUM CHART AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE DUE TO POOR SALES. IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN 2016 AS AN ORIGINAL. 

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REISSUES THAT EXIST-THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK ISSUE! MOST BUYING LPs IN 1970 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY INDEED!  THIS EXAMPLE DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS EXAMPLE HAS HAD CAREFUL USE IN NEARLY 46 YEARS AS WELL AS A CLEAN COVER.

ISSUED ON THE VERY THICK 100% FLAT VINYL EMI PRESSED REGAL ZONOPHONE LABELS:SLRZ 1014 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES.THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT PLAYS VERY NICELY! THE 1970 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REPRESSINGS.  THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION! THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! 

THE COVER HAS SOME MINOR STAINING,EDGE WEAR,A FEW SMALL CREASES-MOSTLY NEAR THE EDGES AND SOME TINY SURFACE TEARS AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE  WITH MORE 1970s LPs FROM ME FOR AUCTION ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW SO CHECK THEM OUT!.

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
