Description
Up for auction is an original near mint LP of BLIND FAITH (self titled) - British Polydor 583 059. The cover grades 8/10. The record's visual AND playing condition is an 8.5/10 on side one, and 8/10 on side two. I played this album completely before listing it, and it's free of any notable groove wear on my Rega turntable with Shure V15 cartridge. Side one in particular is wonderful. The only real flaw in the whole package is a previous owner placed an appx. 3" length of tape to the back bottom seam (see last picture). I'm guessing this was to secure where the original glue dried up/loosened there. I have made no attempt to remove this, but given the finish of the cover, you may be able to steam this off, then bond it properly. *No* other seam-splits, fraying, etc., with the seams/cover otherwise strong. Due to the nature of the front artwork, I have placed a napkin over a portion of it. Please be assured the condition behind the napkin matches the rest of the cover shown.
See grading scale below (with grades 9 & 10 used with good reason). This record has been carefully 3 step wet cleaned and vacuumed on a Nitty Gritty. I'm a fussy collector and audiophile and do not overgrade records.
This is a 5 day listing. Please see my other items for sale or auction. Shipping is via your choice of USPS Media Mail or Priority Mail. I sell worldwide. Message with any questions, including shipping quotes, etc.
Thank you for your interest. Good luck.
