ATTENTION MAN AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 ISSUE OF AN ALBUM BY MAN: "MAN" WITH THE LIBERTY BLACK WITH RAINBOW HALF MOON DESIGN LABELS:LBG 83464 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1U/B-1U MATRIXES.THE DISC ITSELF IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.  DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE COPY HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN 46+ YEARS.   LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1970 1ST ISSUE PRESSING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE FAILING TO CHART. THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT AND SMALL HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.I HEARD ONE SHORT LIVED CLICK THAT SOUNDS 3 TIMES(APPROX 10 SECONDS).STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION!   THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" INNER SLEEVE AND A TEXTURED EFFECT GATEFOLD COVER THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DESIGN TO THE 1972 REISSUE(A COPY OF WHICH I HAVE FOR AUCTION ON EBAY,ENDING AT AUCTION,5 MINUTES BEFORE THIS AUCTION ENDS.

 THE COVER HAS A SMALL SURFACE TEAR AT THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE A SMALL STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED, A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE FAINT SURFACE WEAR BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
