Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. I never ever use 'MINT' unless I have play tested the album and it is as new or it is sealed. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

I am happy to post any where in the world, but only if the buyer is willing to pay for it to be fully insured and tracked in some way. I only use cruciform mailers with double stiffeners and 'bubble wrap'.

SO HERE WE GO......

YEAR....................1969

SLEEVE......... GATEFOLD, and UN- LAMINATED. It is in VERY GOOD condition showing moderate to heavy wear.   It is quite flat and square. The bottom edge is VG- with the back edge being split and repaired from the inside, the top edge is also in VG condition with wear but not worn through. The front is VG with NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKERS  AND NO STAINING and MODERATE SURFACE RUB and LIGHT CREASES and a STICKER TEAR. The rear  is in similar condition with very light  and a small area of stain (top right). The opening edges  are in VG condition with 1 small tear and light feathering. The spine is in a sorry state and you are un-able to read the information due to wear. The tips of the corners show wear.  The inner gatefold is in EX with very light surface rub. All in all this is in acceptable condition for a sleeve of this age.VG

DISK LABELS.....There is NO staining, stickers, residue or tears. there are very light spindle marks on each side. MINT / MINT.

VINYL.... The sleeve may have wear, but it has done a great job over the last 42 years of protecting this vinyl......Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see very faint surface hair lines which are very light and caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve, there are no nasty deep scratches or marks. Side 2 has 2 very short very superficial marks that cannot be picked up by the camera and DO NOT affect the music in any way. In normal daylight this album looks PRISTINE. Both sides play WITHOUT DISTORTION, CLICKS OR JUMPS. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all. There are dust crackles, they can be heard only in the quiet parts and the run in and run out parts. This really is a great copy in LIGHT played condition that any collector or investor would be delighted to add to their collection.  EX+/ EX+ , TOP COPY.

A GREAT ALBUM AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION,

DO NOT MISS THIS, IT COULD BE YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE.
