Original 1st pressing. This has always been a hard LP to find due to poor sales. The condition of this one I am selling is very special, You will wait a long time before you will see one as nice.I purchased this from the original owner years ago who did not like this LP so it was only played a couple of times. A great live LP recorded at the Marquee club London. Raw R&B with Eric Clapton shining on the guitar. From my own personal collection I will be selling so watch out for some good stuff to come!!

The Cover....The Garrod & Lofthouse cover is in great condition. Lovely glossy lamination, superb spine and SUPER clean on back. All the flipbacks are very tidy .just a crease to the top right hand corner and a small small crease to the left otherwise it would have been graded higher. You can tell it has had hardly any handling. The cover grades  Excellent Plus. As stated, very hard to find in this condition a very nice example that would be very hard to find better.

The Record....The record is in superb condition. it has only been played a couple of times at the most. Just one very small (1")surface mark that can not be felt and is totally non sounding  otherwise I would of graded a full near mint. Most still would have!! The record is in stunning condition with super raw Mono sound graded a very strict Excellent++/near mint . A top example of a very rare record!

The labels.....Both labels have no writing tears or stickers - these are the original blue / black  Columbia labels.

The Inner Sleeve....This is original and correct for this issue. This is the tracing paper "EMITEX" inner sleeve in superb, strong condition. A great example.

We use the UK grading system E.G. VG / EX / MINT. We also use + and - if there are slight differences between the grades.

**All Records are sent out in plastic covers with the record placed out of the front cover to prevent the cover from getting knifed. All records are sent out in strong mailers with added protection to make sure that they reach you in the condition that they leave here in.**

**For each record or item sent out I will fill out a separate Proof of Postage slip that is date stamped with the address of the destination of the parcel. Insurance will cost extra and is highly recommended, I will not be responsible if this is not taken for items lost in the post. I also will not send to France unless registered postage is taken as it seems the postal system in France is very poor will parcels getting stolen. It is not just me that has had this problem but my friends that also sell.**

**Please note if you cannot make payment within 20 days of the auction ending please do not bid as the number of non paying bidders seems to be on the increase. If there are any problems with sending payment i.e - you going on holiday - please let me know. I will provide my best service at all times. If payment has not reached me within the 20 days of the auction ending the item will be relisted or sold elsewhere. I am not into giving negative feedback as I feel that this is a childish feature and not my style. It seems some people on this auction site are Trigger Happy with this feature. Check out my feedback. Thank you to most of the customers that I have dealt with in the past two years who know the score. **

** Please read this - If you have been buying from some dealers on ebay who continue to sell records that have been altered or have stickers placed over writing to hide damage, or selling in a much lesser condition than stated;- I would rather sell the record in it's original state, than cut out pieces of paper to hide the truth. I am also against skimming, steaming and other dirty tricks. I will playgrade all records and do all grading under a 100 watt light bulb, which shows the truth. I will continue to place quality items on ebay as I want to build up my customer base. The only things that I want to come back are customers, not records. Thank You.**

All records are visually graded, and playgraded on sound equipment.
