Description
AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR THIS VERY RARE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING UK LP IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. RELEASED IN 1972 ON THE INFAMOUS DANDELION RECORDS LABEL. CAT. NO 2310 217 POLYDOR SUPER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION SINCE NEW & KEPT IN A POLYTHENE SLEEVE & PROPERLY STORED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION, THEREFORE THE COVER IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION & HAS NOT FADED. THE SPINE IS FIRM & UNDAMAGED WITH THE TITLE & CAT. NUMBERS FULLY LEGIBLE. THE INNER SLEEVE IS PERFECT WITH NO YELLOWING OR CREASES. THE PRESSING IS ALSO NEAR MINT WITH ONLY VERY MINOR SLEEVE SCUFFS ON THE 1ST TRACK OF SIDE 1, BUT THESE ARE HARDLY VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES, MARKS OR SCUFFS OF ANY KIND ON SIDE 2. THE PRESSING HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS FINISH & IS NOT DISCOLOURED OR WARPED IN ANY WAY. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF GROOVE WEAR, CONDUCIVE WITH LITTLE USE. THE RECORD DOES NOT JUMP & PLAYS AS GOOD TODAY AS WHEN NEW APART FROM THE USUAL MINOR SURFACE NOISE EXPECTED WITH VINYL FROM THIS ERA. THROUGHOUT THE 70'S I WAS MANAGER OF REW AUDIO VISUAL, CHARING CROSS ROAD, LONDON, RETAILERS OF THE VERY BEST HI-FI EQUIPMENT, ALL MY RECORDS WERE PLAYED USING A THORENS TD 150 BELT DRIVEN TURNTABLE FITTED WITH AN SME TYPE 2 IMPROVED TONE ARM & SHURE V15 TYPE 3 CARTRIDGE (AUDIOPHILES FROM THIS ERA WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH EQUIPMENT OF THIS TYPE AS BEING THE FINEST AVAILABLE) SO MY COLLECTION HAS RECEIVED PLENTY OF TLC OVER THE YEARS. CONSIDERING THIS RECORD IS 34 YEARS OLD IT IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION & A FINE EXAMPLE WHICH I AM SURE WILL BE AN ASSET TO ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR, SO I AM SUGGESTING AN OPENING BID OF £35. I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE ITEM AS AN HONEST AND FAIR APPRAISAL USING 'RECORD COLLECTOR' PARAMETERS BUT SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT, I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER ACCORDINGLY. THIS IS THE FIRST ITEM OF THIS TYPE TO BE RELEASED FROM MY VAST COLLECTION & MORE WILL FOLLOW IN THE COMING WEEKS. (I JUST CANNOT STORE VINYL ANYMORE!) THANK YOU FOR LOOKING & GOOD LUCK SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO BID.
