Description

Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman (1970 UK 1st pressing, pink island labels)

From my personal collection, graded as follows (see bottom for grading description):

Vinyl: VG++ (a super copy with very minimal wear, just a few very faint hairlines only visible under a strong light, lovely sheen still, closer to EX grading)

Audio: Play tested, mostly graded at EX although some light crackle in quieter sections normal for a record of this age, no skips or jumps on my turntable)

Cover: EX (stunning laminated sleeve with textured gatefold. Spine is also excellent - check out the photos! Label has tiny marks on each side)

Matrix numbers:

  • Matrix / Runout (Side A label): ILPS-9135 A
  • Matrix / Runout (Side B label): ILPS-9135 B
  • Matrix / Runout (Side A engraved, STERLING stamped far from matrix): ILPS 9135 A - 3 u STERLING LH
  • Matrix / Runout (Side B engraved, STERLING stamped far from matrix): ILPS 9135 B - 3 u STERLING LH

All my records are vacuum cleaned before despatch. 

Please get in contact if you have any further questions.

Thank you for looking!

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler CD’s and CASSETTES As a general rule CD’s and Cassettes either play perfectly – in which case they are in Mint condition – or they don’t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD’s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
