Deep Purple:  In Rock, France, 1978 issue. Purple vinyl album.

Harvest (Green label). Cat No: SHVL 777 A/B  DC 11

Purchased pre loved and played once 28.11.88 to check audio quality, which was noted as:

A Ex-

B Ex-

Gatefold laminated sleeve overall in VG condition: See pics.

Main issues are. Front light scuffing in blue of sky, light corner dings and scuffs with a light crease bottom right hand corner.

Rear: light scuffing in blue sky and along spine edge. Some minor print loss from ring wear across the top of the sleeve.

Inner gatefold some foxing in the white portions of the border and vertically across the band portraits.

Inner disc bag is not original and comes from Abba’s Greatest Hits Vol 2 (so at least Ritchie would approve 😊. )

Disc visually in VG+ condition with deep glossy lustre, always difficult to fully assess with coloured vinyl.

On side  looks like a couple of sub surface radial marks across the side, but as disc tilted no obvious scratch or hairline obvious – also see audio rating when last played.

Side 2 at end of HLM just when the phased outro comes back at full volume there is a small looks like a pinhead impact ding, but no feel when doing a fingernail test, again not picked up at last audio playback.

Starting bid reflects these visual observations..

Selling on behalf of my Dad (who supplied all the info) from his personal collection, from the olden days when he collected vinyl.

I aim to use recycled packaging when appropriate.

However, all vinyl is despatched using top quality Defendapack QP2 Quick Pack Multi Music Max mailers with additional stiffening inserts. So You can rest assured that your vinyl will be well packed and protected against the trials of postal travel!

Important perspective info, please read….thanks 😊.

A few words about the vinyl grading.

I try to be as honest as possible, but all grades are based upon an experienced but ultimately subjective visual inspection, trying to identify and highlight obvious issues.

Back in the day whilst my Dad purchased much of the vinyl new, as he expanded his collection, (eventually running into a few thousand discs) hence many only played once, inevitably he was drawn to second hand (pre-loved) copies of certain discs, including the rarer original 1970’s issue boots.

As you will appreciate, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this or looking at the listing, the nature of many of these live/unofficial recordings meant that original production standards were not necessarily a top priority, with occasional mastering/pressing faults occurring.

Similarly with any second hand vinyl which in some cases is almost 50 years old they will potentially exhibit aural signs of having been played, sometimes a fair bit..these are not mint, new unplayed discs (unless stated).

The attraction for my Dad was either obtaining the different variations of an issue or otherwise unavailable rare recordings…its called collecting!

When playing vinyl my Dad had a Technics SL1800 turntable with Ortfon cartridge, so no thrashing and grinding on an old  fidelity UA4! (early 70’s starter bedroom lo-fi, crank it up 😊).

Any questions or if you need more photos please ask.

If you have any  issues please contact me before leaving feedback as my intention is to give you the e-bay buying experience that I myself would want, i.e. customer satisfaction all round.

Please check my feedback to re-assure yourself regarding both quality of packaging and accuracy of descriptions. Thank you.

Following a couple of recent poor experiences by less than scrupulous buyers, whilst we remain happy to accept returns when the item is not as described, we must insist that buyer pays return, tracked, postage and uses the original packaging, for both of our piece of minds.

A note about international shipping - we are very happy to send worldwide. Your parcel will be sent tracked, so you can keep an eye on it. 

If you are a non UK bidder, in the EU (and the rest of the world), please be aware that following 'Brexit', your package may be liable for import duties. These are your responsibilities and will be collected by the courier.

NB For your info.

From 1st January 2021, with the UK no longer part of the European Union, our sales to customers in EU countries will be treated as exports. For EU customers, the price you see on the does now not include VAT.

Orders from EU countries

You will be liable for import VAT at the time of delivery via the postal/courier service in your country. The amount of the VAT payable will depend on how the items are classed for VAT in your country. 

The exact implementation of this is likely to vary across different postal services, and there may be some grace period for orders from the UK over the initial weeks and months in some countries, especially for items in transit on 1st January 2021.

Didn't the UK and EU sign a free-trade deal?

Yes, but the UK-EU Free Trade deal agreed on December 24th 2020 means that duties will not be payable on the vast majority of goods moving between the UK and EU. However, duties and VAT are different things, and this does not impact on the VAT measures detailed above.
