Found this record amongst my late grandfather's collection. It probably came from a record shop in the Birmingham area, as my grandmother told me he used to make trips up there from Worcester to buy records in the 60s and 70s.

I've used Record Collector guidelines as detailed here for grading:

Sleeve condition is EX. There is tiny writing on the rear of the sleeve (looks like 3711 or 37") just above the A of Andwella Dream - visible in the photo. The laminate is coming away slightly on the front by the spine. Other than that it's in great shape.

The record is in EX condition - there are some visible scuffs on side 2 near the centre of the record, and to a lesser extent on side 1 in the same place. Looks like could be wear from the inner sleeve.

However despite the visual flaws in the vinyl, on play testing it sounds great throughout, very little surface noise. My grandpa did take pretty good care of his records! Apparently some copies of this record suffer from crackling throughout, this isn't one of them.

You can hear a couple of tracks I've ripped from the record on Youtube here (no noise reduction used):

The Days Grew Longer For Love

The 1st song on side 1.

Goodbye

Goodbye is the last song from side 2, you can hear there is no audible noise from the scuffs I mentioned above.

I can upload more tracks if anyone wants to hear more. Feel free to ask questions.

Since this is a valuable record, I will only ship this Special Delivery with insurance. This costs £6.80 in the UK, not the £4 max Ebay lets me put in, but I'm sure you wouldn't want something this rare shipped through 1st Class Mail!

International Shipping:

I will ship using Royal Mail International Signed For - this costs around £6-8 depending on location but as above I will want to ship with insurance cover, the costs of which are not available on Royal Mail website for international postage but based on the UK price I would estimate around £4-5 extra.
