This is an original UNITED KINGDOM FIRST PRESSING of what is now rightly considered as true folk music classic album JUST ANOTHER DIAMOND DAY by VASHTI BUNYAN. It was pressed in 1970 on PHILIPS records. What a stunningly beautiful sleeve. The none laminated gate fold sleeve has slight edge ware  and very slight ring ware to the back . The spine is undamaged and all the spinal writings can  be read clearly and all the colours are very bright with no light fading anywhere. All the corners remain nicely square.  The inside of the gate fold has slight rubbing and fading but other than that the sleeve is in very good order so is graded VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS.
The vinyl has some issues and all interested bidders need to read this very carefully before bidding so you understand completely and exactly what you are getting !
Both of the record labels are full of spindle marks. Both sides of the vinyl are full of a lot of unsightly marks scuffs but there are NO FEELABLE marks at all. This LP has had a lot of heavy play however it plays all the way through  without jumps or skips or sticking. So if you are interested in owning this be prepared for background noise and clicks etc. 
SIDE ONE
Track 1) DIAMOND DAY. Plays with light crackle      7/ 10 Track 2) GLOW WORMS. Voice is crystal clear                                  but clicks all the way through     5 / 10 Track 3) LILY POND clicks that subside 20 sec in     7.5 / 10 Track 4)TIMOTHY GRUB lite background crackle     8 / 10 Track 5)WHERE I STAND   as above                        8 / 10 Track 6)SWALLOW SONG  Plays well                      9 / 10 Track 7)WINDOW OVER THE BAY  As above          9 / 10
SIDE 2
Track 1) ROSE HIP NOVEMBER   Plays well       9 / 10 Track 2) COME WIND COME RAIN   Superb       10 / 10 Track 3) HEBRIDEAN SUN  light back noise         8 / 10 Track 4) RAINBOW RIVER   As above                  8 / 10 Track 5) TRAWLERMANS SONG  As above         8 / 10 Track 6) JOG ALONG BESS  Plays well                9 / 10 Track 7) IRIS`S SONG FOR US  Plays well           9 / 10
Double click the pictures and look at the marks on the vinyl. THERE ARE A LOT
OF THEM TO BOTH SIDES. HOWEVER this album plays much better than it looks but because of the unsightly marks the best I can grade this is GOOD. But it plays better . So a really LOVELY conditioned sleeve with an LP with unsightly marks to both sides Side one looks worse than side two but plays GOOD PLUS .  Considering a mint copy of this LP will set you back £1200 PLUS AND RISING ! This FIRST UK PRESSING ORIGINAL has a value !

Hi Alex.

If by distortion you mean the sound one hears when a record is warped  and the words are extrapolated, and simply put , sound just weird. Then the answer is NO.  THERE IS NO WARPING TO THIS RECORD. THIS RECORD HAS A LOT OF MARKS ON IT BUT IT PLAYS
ALL THE WAY WITH NO JUMPING NO SLIPPING AND NO STICKING.
THERE IS CRACKLING AND BACKGROUND NOISE.
I have played this record and I have enjoyed it for many years. As I listen I think to myself......
well its a shame about the background noise and I wish it was in better condition.
BUT IT IS NOT.
And then I listen and think to myself  Yeah but WOW ! this is a FIRST FIRST FIRST EXCRUCIATINGLY RARE FIRST PRESSING. And owning these rare items, 
ONE IS PRIVILEDGED ! 
Would you not agree ?
And to me.....
That makes me forgive the condition, and  makes me forgive it , quite a bit !
So your question to me.......
"Should I win ? "
The answer to that ,lies inside of YOU.
