HI THERE,

I CAN HONESTLY SAY, I'AM PROUD TO BE ABLE TO OFFER SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC RECORD....YOU MAY WONDER WHY SUCH A HIGH STARTING BID?? WELL I COULD OFFER THIS AS A B.I.N. AND JUST ASK FOR WHAT I WOULD LIKE POSSIBLY! BUT I WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE TO OWN THIS. AND FEEL THE PRICE SET JUSTIFYS THE QUALITY OF THE PRESS. BEARING IN MIND THIS IS FROM 1971 & A1/B1 FIRST PRESS OF COURSE.

 PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION & SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ACTUAL ITEM, NO EFFECTS HAVE BEEN ADDED, ITEM IS AS IT APPEARS IN THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY MYSELF.

WITHOUT DOUBT, THE BEST COPY OF THIS MILLION + SELLING L.P. YOU COULD EVER BE OFFERED... 

NEARLY EVERYBODY (AT THE TIME) BOUGHT A COPY WORLDWIDE. BUT NOT MANY WOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT IN SUCH A HIGH CONDITION LIKE THIS ONE. THIS IS NO  RE-PRESS...THIS IS A FIRST PRESS FROM 1971! LOOKS BRAND NEW FOR A RECORD THATS OVER 40 YEARS OLD.

NEVER BEEN PLAYED FOR YEARS (39) PLUS. ONLY EVER HAD GOOD HOME PLAY, AND THAT WAS JUST ONCE!!! THIS NEVER WENT TO ANY WILD PARTYS ETC. NO NEEDLE THRASH, DUST, GRIME, DAMP, AGE, STORED IN A SMOKE FREE ZONE, AND ONLY MADE AVAILABLE TODAY FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR OUT THERE. NO NEED TO EVER OWN ANOTHER COPY OR SEARCH OUT LISTINGS, STOP HERE AND BE DELIGHTED. THIS COMES FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, (I HAVE ANOTHER COPY WHICH WAS USED AS MY PLAYING COPY). AND BOUGHT ANOTHER TO KEEP SAFE. FOR THE LIKELYHOOD OF THIS BECOMING IN DEMAND FOR THE FUTURE, THE TIME HAS COME TO PART WITH THIS AND OFFER A NEW CARING HOME. I GAURENTEE ITS THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION THAT ANYONE COULD WISH FOR. THIS APPEARS LIKE IT HAD BEEN PLACED IN A SEALED VAULT. (I KNOW THAT SOUNDS PRETTY CORNY!) BUT THATS THE ONLY WAY I CAN TRY TO JUSTIFY, APART FROM THE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED BELOW JUST HOW GREAT THIS ONE REALLY IS.

I WOULD HAVE PROVIDED A SOUND SAMPLE OF SOME TRACKS (AND WILL BE FOR THE FUTURE WITH OTHER ITEMS) BUT FOR NOW, I CAN'T SORRY...

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
