Edgar Broughton Band - Oora
(Harvest SHVL 810 UK LP 1973)
This is an original UK LP pressing in very nice overall condition! It has its original outer polythene bag. This has all 4 band members heads & logo design printed on the front. This artwork is by Barney Bubbles. It has an inner gatefold card sleeve which is designed to be housed inside the polythene outer bag. It also comes with its original lyric inner sleeve. This is printed on semi-buff thin card. There is also an extra period, early 1970's, "Harvest Records" headed letter. This is printed on yellow paper. It has "For further information on Edgar Broughton Band contact WEEMEENT at above address" typed on it.
The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has 1st press A-1U/ B-1U matrix stampers. The "Harvest" labels have "The Gramophone Co..." text and have one boxed "EMI" logo. A great early 1970's UK Hard Prog Folk Rock LP. This is a genuine UK 1st press. Complete with an extra "Harvest" period letter relating to the Edgar Broughton Band. It also has its original outer printed polythene bag. Overall, a wonderful item!
Outer Printed Polythene Sleeve: There is a 3 cm seam split at the top opening on the left hand side. There is mild to moderate rubbing and creasing at the top 3.5 cm area. This is essentially the very top section which over-flaps the sleeve. There is some other light, mild or very mild rippling and creasing. Overall, VG+ condition
Inner Gatefold Sleeve: There are some light, mild or very mild vertical creases along the entirety of the spine area to a varying degree. There are some smaller horizontal 1 cm creases at the spine. There are a couple of other light or very mild creases too. There is some light or very mild ringwear. VG+ condition.
Vinyl: There are some light, mild or very mild sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light or very mild dull surface marks on a few areas. There is one very light 2 cm hairline mark. This can hardly be seen under a strong light. VG++ condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show light spindle wear.
The lyric inner sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. There is an 8 cm seam split at the centre of the bottom. Otherwise, there is light or very mild ringwear.
The "Harvest" letter is in Very Good++ condition. There are a few light or very mild creases in one corner tip area. There are a few light or very mild handling creases. There are a couple of very small areas of foxing too.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in some places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There are a couple of mild clicks on one track on Side 1. There is also some more moderate crackle on the very last "reprise" track atthe very end of Side 2. It doesn't last too long. Overall, a very reasonable audio copy!
I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from any damage during transit.
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
