Description

Selling last of my personal record collection that i’ve collected over the last 55 years. They are down to one shelf in a cupboard now. Just a few more to be added. It’s been a lifetime experience but when they are gone i’m finished. Reasonable offers accepted.


If you buy more than 1 LP please add them to your basket, then select “pay only this seller”, ebay will then send you a cheap combined postage invoice.


John Tavener - the whale LP from 1970


Original UK 1970 first press on Apple.


Gatefold cover.


Black inner sleeve.


Catalogue number SAPCOR 15  with Matrix A-1U/B-1U 


The disc is VG+, just a few light superficial surface marks (nothing remotely feelable).


The cover is VG+. The cover has a white sticker top right on front (see pic) which probably hides a sticker tear. Apart from that it is ok with some light agewear.
