Description

Hello and welcome to my vinyl record listings. I call myself "hi-fi-widow" as my husband has always been an avid hi fi enthusiast and record/CD collector. However, we have agreed that the collection now needs to be downsized and I have agreed to help him achieve that, much as I enjoy the music....well, most of it :-)
The majority of our records are pressings from the heyday of the vinyl record, mainly the 1970s and 1980s. We have relatively few modern reissues. In my husband's opinion to truly appreciate the magic of vinyl, the nostalgia, you need to seek out pressings from this vinyl heyday. Many enthusiasts feel that they sound better because of the analogue mastering.
Most of our records have only been occasionally played as many were originally taped to cassette and then later purchased on CD. They are therefore generally in exceptional condition.
Please read the description below in bold type for details of this particular record listing and condition. Our records are supplied beautifully clean because they have received proper storage and care. All records have been cleaned using a high quality Pro-Ject VC-S record cleaning machine. Records are then placed in new high quality inner sleeves.
Record sleeves vary in condition but most are excellent just showing the usual signs of storage.
All records are test played throughout on a Technics SL1500C turntable fitted with high quality rigid body (RigB) Audio Technica VM series or Ortofon cartridges. A representative photo of the grading session is shown above.
This listing is for Peter Frampton's superb "Frampton's Camel" LP on the A&M Records label AMLS 68150. Matrix marks A1/B1, FIRST UK pressing. "PORKY" & "PECKO" etched in dead wax.
THIS IS A RARE 1973 WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING. IN MY EXPERIENCE SUCH PRESSINGS GENERALLY HAVE SUPERLATIVE AUDIO QUALITY AS THE STAMPERS WERE FRESH AND UNUSED. THIS IS NO EXCEPTION. HOWEVER, SURFACE NOISE CAN BE SOMEWHAT ELEVATED.
Vinyl grading is Excellent according to the Record Collector grading system. It appears only occasionally played prior to test playing. A SUPER copy.
Test played superbly with wonderful audio and some minor overall background noise.
The sleeve with the A&M Label Information Sheet is in excellent overall condition - see photos.
A GREAT LP RELEASED A YEAR OR TWO BEFORE "FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE" AND SOMEWHAT OF A RARITY IN THIS FORMAT. Please take the time to go through the photos above to check the quality of this LP. Pictures speak more than a thousand words!
I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm able to post worldwide and use MusicMax mailers with reinforcements. LPs are removed from sleeves when packing to preclude any damage to the sleeve in transit.
Please see any other listings I may have as postage can be combined.  
Thanks for looking!
