Description
I have been an obsessive collector of vinyl LP's and singles for many years, and from the very first I have always been very careful about the condition of the records I have bought. Once in my posession the records have been well stored and always very carefully handled. If the records have been played at all, it has always been on a good quality hi - fi system, the deck being a Linn LP12 deck with a top of the range arm and cartridge.
As a result, most of the many thousands of items in my collection are in excellent condition or better.
Now, in order to create more space at home, I have decided to cut the collection back to a core of my personal favourite artistes, and to dispose of the remainder. These I intend to list for auction over the coming months.
Here is a really difficult album to locate, being a copy of the Elastic Band 'Expansions on Life' album on the collectable Decca Nova label, number SDN6, dating from 1969.
The front laminated cover is in very good condition. It has light corner bumping and some clarifoil lift down the spine edge (see my picture) and some minor areas of material loss (not at all unusual) where the clarifoil ends and glue leeches out to grab other records on the shelf. These are minor gripes however, as generally the cover is highly glossy and in a really great collectable condition. The all important original decca blue 'stereo' lined inner sleeve is present and apart from a little edge wear looks really nice.
The vinyl and labels look superb. It plays great on the Linn, with almost deathly quiet background. I would guess this particular copy hasn't seen a great deal of use.
I would say this copy was in very collectable condition indeed, and overall I'd rate it VG+/EX+.
It is offered at no reserve.
