Dandelion DAN 8004 (pressed in England )
A already very rare psych/folk, the fact that it is a test pressing probably makes it even rarer. It is housed in a gatefold Garrod & Lofthouse jacket , this test pressing has the machine stamped matrix numbers ie DAN 8004 A1/DAN 8004 B1. The words and numbers "Dan 8004" is also written on the label on B side. I have no reason to doubt its authencity and a brief explanation of how I got this should allay any doubts.
A regular UK seller who was in touch with me expressed a desire to sell off all his collection . I visited him around the beginning of July 2011, saw his collection which not only included this but several other mouth watering items and needless to say, ended up buying the whole lot . It included a number of promo copies as well as rare stuff like Floyd's DSOTM, early Led Zep etc all in amazingly good condiition. As he was not only a collector but also involved with a couple of well known turntable and speaker companies, I have no reason to doubt the veracity of this piece. Incidently, he was the one who sold off the Nimbus pressings of Rickie Lee Jones and the Beatles Sgt Peppers but that was before I took the remainder. I will be listing some of them today and others over the next few weeks. This particular copy is in a beautiful condition and was stored in a Discwasher D Stat sleeve.
Buyers please note that I try to describe as well as I could. However, some potential bidders have asked for grading and I have tried to do so. In this respect, as both RRPG and Goldmine grading systems seem not in sync, I have drawn up my own which is indicated below after my grading results and I suggest that one reads that too.
UK buyers also please note that I am based in Singapore but the system assumes that as a seller on Ebay,UK should indicate a UK postage cost of 4GBP which may not even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below.
Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item condition as 'used'. I did exercise the option of listing it under Ebay, US & Canada(for a fee of course!). Somehow, these listings are appearing under Ebay US & Canada as 'like new' and I can't seem to change it under that site . It should read as 'used'.
