Description
Immaculate copy of Harvest second pressing of Syd Barratt's The Madcap Laughs with boxed EMI logo, with first print EJ Day half-laminated gatefold jacket (dated 6911). The record is perfect, as is the jacket and original unlined innerbag. Record long stored in replacement lined inner. Matrices SHVL 765 A-2G / SHVL 765 B-3. Lovely.

I have lived with this record for years but it has been only this evening when completing the listing that I noticed that the interior of the gatefold is in fact that from the Madcap/Barratt doubleset, supposedly put out by EMI in 1974. This definitely occurred at the printers, Ernest J Day & Co. Ltd, the construction is perfect as can be seen in the photographs.
Accordingly, to draw attention to this, I have raised the price. This is not *THE* price, unless you want it to be. Any collectors interested in anomalies such as this, please just drop me a line. Thanks.
Check all the pics.. and make the most of the enlargement facility! If you'd like more photo's please ask.
The purge of the collection continues..... a varied batch this week.
Check my other listings, my feedback, and bid with confidence. Any reserves are realistic. Good luck!
Regular clients will know that I usually keep my descriptions brief and to the point. If you are looking, I figure you will know what you are looking at. I would not presume to condescend nor would I wish to bore you to death with unnecessary hype. Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH cart and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.
GRADINGS:
MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played.
NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny. Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. Jacket is as close to perfect.
EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny. Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.
Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won?t be finding any for sale here.
