Description

THE IDLE RACE
BIRTHDAY PARTY
1968 LIBERTY LBS 83132 STEREO
This is an original stereo copy of their fantastic debut LP that features the wonderful Jeff Lynne who also wrote all the songs.
I won't go into the details of what the songs are as if you are a collector then you are mire interested in the condition of this record.
well,
The LP is MINT MINUS - there are NO hairlines and only one spindle mark (visible) on side 2. Purists may thus grade this as EX++!! 
It has been looked after very well since it was bought back in 1968. 
This grading is NO wishful thinking and I offer a full refund if the record is not as described.
MATRIX NUMBERS
SIDE 1 : LBS 83132 A//1 SIDE 2 : LBS 83132 B//2
Sadly, when it comes to the gatefold sleeve it is only in VG condition. THe gold on the sleeve has been rubbed against other records over time and as it was un-laminated there is wear and tear to the corners. Please see the example picture to show some of the rubbing on the edge of the rear.
So, basically the vinyl is in TOP collectors condition but the sleeve is not.
Please ask any questions - I will ship worldwide - I offer a full refund if the record is not as described so please bid with confidence.
Finally, if this sells for over £50 It will be sent fully insured with signed for delivery so please await a final invoice.
Thanks for looking and God bless Bradley Wiggins for not having an IDLE RACE in the olympics today!
