Brief Info: A groundbreaking album of it’s day, this charity fund-raising event was performed at Madison Square Garden New York on August 1st 1971, in aid of the Bangladeshi refugees. It was way ahead of the huge charity events like ‘Live Aid’ that followed some time years after. A triple boxed set and quite lavishly made on Apple Records. Featuring a host of stars all listed above including a lesser known band at the time called Badfinger.
The front-line artists were Harrison and Bob Dylan who contribute the most as ‘solo’ vocalists (with the backing musicians). So for fans of these two major players especially, this is an indispensable set.
Box Grade and Format: EXCELLENT: a two-piece box – the lid lifts totally off as per made – this had no hinge or attachments to the tray. Made with thick card, so fairly robust, it has matt textured surfaces. Printed in the USA, as seen on a tiny imprint circle inside the lid on an edge.
The Book: The cover is made with textured soft thick paper, the inside pages are thinner, standard thickness paper with a very fine semi-glossy sheen. The cover has small "stains" that I think could be removed, but I will not attempt this. No tears and the two original staples hold all the pages securely, these have not rusted at all. Anyway, a lovely example of what is quite a delicate book that could easily be damaged if not treated with due respect.
Vinyl Condition/Visual Grading: for 6 sides. EXCELLENT: The only thing stopping all three of the vinyl's being MINT are very faint hairlines, hardly visible I'm hesitant to add, that DO NOT effect the sound of the Vinyl's.
If you are not happy with the item just return it in its original condition for a 100% refund (excl. P&P)
I will send the Item 1st Class Recorded Delivery as soon as payment is received through paypal.
