Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am selling off my collection of original first pressing vinyl albums to supplement a house move. It's a pity to let them go but the money is needed for essential repairs. I have adopted the Record Collector magazine’s Grading Guide to describe the condition and I have also play-checked each album, so you can be confident about buying. The pictures are also of the actual album you are bidding on.
Overseas bidders are very welcome. (Please see ‘Notes’ below for postage options.)
UK postage for up to 7 disks is just £3.17
Worldwide postage for 1 album is just £6.00
"David Bowie was a big fan of this band and even sang backing vocals for them! I am selling two of their early albums, both first pressings and both in 'near mint' condition. How about making me an offer for the pair?"
An original 1973 *RARE* A1/B1 UK first pressing Vinyl LP on the CBS record label, in the single cover sleeve and complete with original lyrics inner sleeve - IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
Track List:
A1 - All The Way From Memphis
A2 - Whizz Kid
A3 - Hymn For The Dudes
A4 - Honaloochie Boogie
A5 - Violence
B1 - Drivin' Sister
B2 - Ballad Of Mott (March 26th 1972 Zurich)
B3 - I'm A Cadillac / El Comino Dolo Roso
B4 - I Wish I Was Your Mother
Authenticity Of This Copy (Barcode and Other Identifiers)
This is identifiable as the 1973 UK first pressing because it bears the catalogue number 69038 and has the boxed CBS logo on the single-tone orange labels, which include the words 'Made in England'. This particular copy came in the single cover sleeve. There was a less attractive cover in a gate-fold sleeve. Both sides of this particular copy are the first cut of the first pressing, making it particularly collectible in this condition.
Cat Ref: 69038 appears on the reverse of the cover sleeve and as S 69038 on the disc label.
Matrix / Runout (Side 1, stamped) S 69038 A1
Matrix / Runout (Side 2, stamped) S 69062 B1 S 65640 B1
Condition (using Record Collector Magazine grading)
When describing the condition I have adopted the 'Record Collector' magazine’s Grading Guide. I have also play-checked each album. I have also tried to provide good quality large pictures of the actual album you are bidding on so you can see the condition for yourself. The pictures should speak for themselves.
Vinyl = NEAR MINT: The record has only been played a few times and is still in near mint condition. The vinyl is in 'mint' condition and the only reason I haven't described it as such is because the original owner initialed the disc label. Sound reproduction is superb with absolutely no discernible deterioration in sound quality. It's a good quality pressing too, with very little background noise.
Cover = NEAR MINT: The cover has been kept in a protective plastic sleeve since new and is is still in near mint condition. There are just one or two 'water' spots and a tiny bit of wear to the leading edge.
Inner lyrics sleeve = EXCELLENT: The inner lyrics sleeve is made of the usual lightweight grade paper and is consequently quite creased. It has also darkened with age. The original owner wrote his name and address on the sleeve, but in all other respects it is undamaged. I have provided a new inner sleeve to preserve the original from further use.
