ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE/HARD ROCK AND BLUE HORIZON LABEL COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 1ST PRESSING OF THE RARELY SEEN(IN THIS CONDITION) ALBUM BY WHALEFEATHERS:"WHALEFEATHERS". IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN AS OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT CONDITION AS THIS UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE!. IT'S THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND AND HEARD IN NEARLY 30 YEARS AS A DEALER! FACT! 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 IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN 44 YEARS AS WELL AS A CLEAN INNER SLEEVE WITH THE DATE CODE 0571(MAY 1971)DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS LP AND A CLEAN COVER. ISSUED ON THE 1ST DESIGN POLYDOR PRESSED BLUE HORIZON LABEL:2431-009. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1971 EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE WITH THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD MINIMAL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! FANTASTIC SOUND! THE RECORD HAS NO CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION!

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!!!!
