ALBUM INFO: 

Gasoline Alley is Rod Stewart's second solo album and was released in September 1970 in the UK, and in June 1970 in the US. The album was well received, with Langdon Winner of Rolling Stone feeling that Stewart had "a rare sensitivity for the delicate moments in a person's existence", and that this, Stewart's second solo album, was the work "of a supremely fine artist". Gasoline Alley is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. 

COVER ART: 

  • Marcus Keef: sleeve design and photography 

PRODUCTION: 

  • Rod Stewart & Lou Reizner: producer

VISUAL GRADING: 

(EX)

GATEFOLD SLEEVE: 

(EX+) Considering it's age, this gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition, with no tears, splits or writing. There is some very minor wear to the back of the sleeve on the opening edge.

EDGES/SPINE: 

The edges and spine are in excellent condition with no damage.

INNER SLEEVE: 

This is the original Vertigo inner sleeve. As you can see in the picture, the sleeve does has browning and wear due to age. There are a couple of tears to the centre, and a split in each side edge. The plastic inside the inner sleeve has come unattached on one side, however this could be fixed.

LABELS: 

Clean, no damage or writing. 

AUDIO GRADING: 

I play all LP's on my Pioneer PL 550-X. This album plays with no pops, clicks, jumps, distortion or crackle; a truly fantastic listen!!!



POSTAGE, PACKAGING, RETURNS

PAYMENT: 

PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE BEFORE PAYMENT.

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.

RETURNS POLICY: 

I aim to provide an excellent service and hope that all buyers are satisfied with their purchase. However, if for any reason this should not be so, please contact me and on receipt of the item, I will give a full refund. I will not issue a refund if detail that is clearly stated on the advertisement has been missed by the buyer, so please read carefully.

PACKAGING: 

I use preformed and standard mailers with stiffeners. I always take the vinyl out in its inner sleeve and place on top of the cover. This is then placed into a soft protective sleeve and packaged with stiffeners for full protection.


POSTAGE + PRICES

  • I always ship between two-five days after payment. 
  • The prices below are based on one LP, however if several LP's are purchased, the cost will be slightly more.

GRADING SYSTEM:

Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare records. I try to be as accurate and fair as possible to avoid any disappointment. I have added a (+) or (-) to the gradings where applicable.
MINT: The record is either brand new or in brand new condition with no surface marks; the cover and any additional items such as inserts, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.  EX: The record shows some signs of having been played; the cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.  VG: The record has some noticeable surface marks, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects. GOOD: The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. The vinyl has several surface marks, and may or may not affect play.

Please bid with confidence and check my feedback. I aim to provide an excellent service, so please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you and good luck!
