Notes/Description: This record is one of a number from a single collection of a 1960/1970s collector. They all have things in common. Firstly he got them all from new and looked after them well. Secondly, he wrote his name and address on all of them, very discreetly and neatly. Thirdly and what was very helpful though was that he wrote the date that he got them as well , which helps enormously with authenticity. Fourthly he applied a sticker to one label on every record - always neatly and uniformly with the name "Charlie". Typically he also "decorated" the inner sleeves with contemporary music press cuttings relating to the album or artist - making for a very interesting historical reference. In this case the vinyl is shiny with a few inconsequential hairlines and on B4 there is a tiny hairline that causes a very faint tick for a few seconds - other than that it plays superbly. The sleeve is clean and tidy with just a little bash at the top of the spine and no other wear or damage. Charlie's usual details on inside the gatefold on the fireplace and in this case acquired on 25th December 1968 - presumably a Christmas present! The inner sleeve is covered in really nice cuttings and photos from the period. Matrix:
