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.
For auction here is a UK stereo copy of the England LP 'Garden Shed' on the Arista label number ARTY 153, issued in 1977.
The laminated sleeve, except for the most minimal of corner bumping and one or two very minor creases on the rear cover is pretty much like new. The clarifoil is bright and shiny with practically no wear (I found it very difficult to get a good shot of the cover as it was so reflective - see my photo). The barest of fade on the red is detectable down the spine. However, this is an excellent condition cover sure to please the most selective of collectors.
The original white lined inner is present and in excellent condition, with minimal aging and very few creases.
There is no booklet with this copy, it is not missing, simply most copies never had them when they were issued.
Matrix numbers finish A-4U, B-4U.
The vinyl is bright, shiny and clean, with no obvious surface marks of signs of play. The labels to me have no spindle wear, but they do have some minor spotting which shows up in my photos, but this is minimally cosmetic. This copy plays great on my Linn with no signs of noise from previous excessive play.
A nice copy in EX/EX condition which I offer at no reserve.
