Description

Hello!  Please note, that this auction will end on late Tuesday January 2nd UK time.  Of course, I usually end my auctions on Sundays.  However, as this coming Sunday falls on News Years Eve in the UK this is impossible.  I do NOT stop for the Christmas period, and will be listing some truly INCREDIBLE items!  In fact, most of my listings over the Christmas period have all come from one AMAZING collection, and are the BEST and RAREST items I have seen for a very VERY long time.  So don't forget to check back before Tuesday January 2nd UK time - to see some the BEST ITEMS I have EVER listed!  Please read on about this AMAZING item below, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid:-



On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pentangle called "Sweet Child" and is an ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Transatlantic label!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  IT IS EASILY PENTANGLE'S RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1968 WHEN THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE, AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH 'INTERNAL FLIPBACKS' ON THE GATEFOLD COVER (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESSING ON 1ST PRESS TRANSATLANTIC LABELS, 1ST PRESS MATCHING INNER SLEEVES, AND 1ST PRESS 'MacNEILL' LAMINATED FLIPBACK GATEFOLD COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Transatlantic UK 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in GREAT condition!!!!  The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is TRA 178 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Transatlantic labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels on BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVEN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl on BOTH records is in GREAT condition - and still very VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only a thin 'watermark' at the VERY edge of each record, NO nasty 'tick' marks AT ALL, only 2 TINY lateral hairline type marks, only 3 or 4 MEGA light hairlines, only 1 light long scufflines (NON sounding - one side ONLY!),, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The records must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still very VERY decent set of records indeed!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press matching inner sleeves which are in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'MacNeill' Gatefold Flipback Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corner tips, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, VERY nice flipbacks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

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.   PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
