HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY NIGHT AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 11TH MAY / EARLY THURSDAY 12TH!)!!!!

As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights (and these will still continue!)!!!!  However as I had quite a few extra items of UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week (they really are TOP QUALITY, and NOT cheap overstock!) and completely ran out of time to list them last Sunday - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions ending on Wednesday 11st May!!!!  So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 11th May (and NOT Sunday!) - though of course, I will be putting more auctions on during the week for next Sundays auctions!!!!  And please don’t forget take a look at my other auctions, as there really are some INCREDIBLE items listed!!!!  Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-


Hello!  As this item failed to sell using buy it now, I have decided to now list it on a 1 day auction, and whatever it makes - it makes!   This LP has an absolutely BRILLIANT cover, has a VERY bright and shiny record - and plays through with NO sticks ande NO jumps!  It is also one of the RAREST LPs on the Vertigo label - and almost NEVER seen today!  Please take the time to read ALL of the description below - as this is always VERY important!  Recently I have had people complaining about an LP - when they admitted afterwards, that they didnt even read the description at all (which is a bit strange to say the least!).  So please take a read through the description and take a look at the pictures!  And as this is on a 1 day auction listing, I know this will be a bargain for someone!  Good luck if you decide to bid - and read on about this AMAZING item below:-

RARITY:-   One of the RAREST and LPs on the Vertigo label - and very VERY hard to find now!  Made even rarer still - as it is the EARLIEST 1st Pressing ever made with a 'Large' Vertigo label logo (later ones dont!).  Comes with its 1st Press ONLY 'Date Coded' Vertigo inner sleeve (see picture) - and for once the cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition too - and almost never seen like this!

COUNTRY:-  UK

MONO/STEREO:-  STEREO (there were NO Monos!)

PRESSING:-   1ST PRESSING - 1/1 MATRIXES, 'DATE CODED' VERTIGO 'SPIRAL' INNER SLEEVE, 'LARGE' VERTIGO LOGO ON THE LABELS, & GATEFOLD COVER!

ARTIST:-  JADE WARRIOR

TITLE:-  JADE WARRIOR

CAT NUMBER:-  6360 033

LABEL:-  VERTIGO

DATE:-  1971

SIGNS OF PLAY:-  LIGHT TO MODERATE

LABELS:-   EX

COVER GRADING:-  The 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition - and one of the best I have ever seen!  These are usually in terrible condition - but this one is definitely NOT!  The cover has NO splits, NO sticker marks, NO edge wear (apart from 2 or 3 almost INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces!), NO spinal wear (PERFECT side words & colour!), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO sticker tears, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light indentation traces on the cover back (absolutely NO cover damage AT ALL!), NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition - with NO ringwear, only 2 or 3 absolutely TINY 'touched in' pull marks, NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and is very VERY close to a grade above!!!!  WHAT A BRILLIANT COVER!!!!

INNER:-  ORIGINAL 'DATE CODED' VERTIGO 'POLY LINED' INNER SLEEVE IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND MUST GRADE VG++++!!!!

RECORD GRADING:-  This is a very VERY rare record indeed - and almost NEVER seen now!  The record is still VERY bright and shiny, and still VERY presentable indeed under normal room conditions!  However the record in my opinion has probably been left out of its inner sleeve at some point in the past on the VERY few occasions it was played.  Consequently there are a few lines and marks on either side - though the general impression is still of a VERY bright and shiny record indeed!  It does however play through with NO sticks and NO jumps AT ALL!!!!  Of course there are a few clicks in places (though mostly none), and some typical background sound often found on this pressing (though this can be lessened by dropping the treble).  Now for some reason online I notice some people seem to go no lower than VG, and many others stop at the grade of Good.  However, to avoid any disappointment and to increase clarity, I will simply grade the record Fair to be ULTRA strict!  That said the record is one of the RAREST LPs on the Vertigo label, is still VERY bright & shiny looking indeed, and plays through with NO sticks and NO jumps AT ALL!  This LP is very VERY hard to find now - and also has an absolutely BRILLIANT cover & inner, and the chances of finding another one (especially with a cover like this one has!) are very VERY slim indeed!

--ooOOoo--

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
