Here is another gem from my own mostly Nr Mint personal collection (which I am selling off gradually to lessen the pain...) You are bidding on an absolutely stunning ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1st Pressing of this RARE UK Stephen Stills album!!!

What makes this record even more special is that it comes with with an incredible FOUR!!! lyric inserts!!! This was obviously a factory assembly error, but I am including all with the record is this is how it was purchased form new. Further it is in almost perfect visual/aural vinyl condition!!! It looks brand new and plays like a dream - impossible for this record!!! It is the Original 1971 UK 1st PRESSING on the much sought-after Plum/Orange Atlantic centre labels!

This vinyl is in stunning condition!!! The Classic Plum/Orange 1st Pressing Atlantic Record centre labels are in perfect condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! There is just some very light spindle lines and that's it!!! The gramophone rims containing the all important 1st press matrix's are also mint!!!

What can I say about the vinyl itself? It has NO Scratches, No hairlines, NO scuffing, NO Groove Wear and NO warping!!!  This disc has all the deep shine a newly pressed record!!!  There are one or two very light paper lines simply caused by removing the record from its inner sleeve and that's it!!! The record still retains ALL its original gloss and shine and has NO dulling and NO nasty greying of the grooves!!! I am very pleased to state that this is a record that also plays as good as it looks!!! It has NO jumps, NO skips NO nasty loud pops!!! The thick quality pressed chunky 1960's vinyl looks and feels great (it is very heavy!). I would easily grade this vinyl as a strong Excellent+!!! Its as simple as that!!! (most other sellers would grade it as straight Mint!!!)  The classic 1st press E. J. Day gatefold 1st Press 'fibre textured' sleeve is also in great condition!!! Although not mint, it is far better that you usually see with these sleeves. They are very, very fragile and on the rare occasions they turn up, they are totally worn out-looking with severe corner & edge wear, stains and terrible ring wear (especially to the back). This is mainly because they were not laminated and have no real supporting stiffness to them, and as a result of the lack of protection these rare sleeves have not remained in prime condition over the years. This one fares very well NO Tears, NO Rips, NO Scribbles, NO tape marks and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!!  There is a store sticker on the reverse of the sleeve and a tiny virtually invisible price sticker removal mark in the top left corner. The sleeve lies nice and FLAT with very little of the ring wear common with this sleeve (although there is some on the top and bottom of the back side of the back gatefold) It has some of the normal rubbing to the spine (unavoidable with this sleeve) but is better than every other example I have previously seen. The spine text is still visible and legible (unlike most other copies around - spine text usually totally worn off from the true 1st press sleeves). There is some moderate wear to the seams, edges and opening edge - again unavoidable for this record!!! The un-laminated lyric-printed inner gatefold is also pristine with no nasty scribbles/stains or blemishes of any kind!!! It has no discoloration and NONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED RING WEAR!!! Impossible for this sleeve!! This sleeve easily grades as Very Good in every way and is in no way over-graded!!! The LP comes with its very rare Original picture inner sleeve - which is also in super condition! In keeping with this special album - each on of the FOUR thehugely rare lyric inserts are in stunning Mint- condition - no grubbyness, scribbles or nasty creases - in fact they look as if they have never been removed from the inner sleeve before!!! Please check out our feedback and bid with confidence as this is a no reserve auction with a very low starting price!  Do not underestimate the rarity of this record in this condition!!! UK 1st press copies in such stunning condition are as such is in very high demand today. If you have never heard it, you will not find another copy that plays more pristinely than this- it will blow you away!!! If you are a collector/investor, the price of this record will just rise and rise. An absolutely essential (and very rare) record to own in this complete and beautiful condition!!! Don't miss this one!!!

I have tried to show you the record from all angles - there's nothing to hide!!! If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a UK 1st press of this LP in this kind of condition is impossible today!!! Good Luck!!!

All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards.  If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
