Sample sale text

I'm starting to list a collection of about 200 lps and 45s put together by my wife between about 1969 and 1984. Few of these have been played more than 2 or 3 times as, generally, they were recorded to tape and then put away. About 75% are in Near Mint store bought condition and look as if they've just been purchased. They were usually bought within a few days of being issued so, not only are they in pristine condition, they're mostly first pressings. Plus the lps all have their original inner sleeves and any inserts. The collection has remained untouched in a cupboard at my wife's parents house since she moved out and got married in 1984. If I find any blemishes or faults with any of these records I will point them out. Even the slightest shelf wear is absent from many. If you require additional photos of anything please let me know. This is a copy of the LP John Barleycorn Must Die by Traffic, first UK pressing from 1970 on Island ILPS 8116. The matrix no.s are Side One ILPS 8116 A / 2 UAS 5504 A and Side Two ILPS 8116 B / 2 UAS 5504 B The vinyl is in Excellent condition with just a number of very faint paper lines. There is nothing affecting play. The labels are spotless. with no stickers, writing, scuffs or stains. There are a couple of very faint spindle marks on each side. The outer rim is flat. Sorry about the out of focus photo, I'll upoad a beter one tomorrow The textured (on the outside) gatefold cover, printed by the E. J. Day Group, is in Near Mint condition. There are no tears, stains, shelf wear, creases,stickers or writing. The spine is perfect. The only blemish I can find is a faint impression left by a price sticker on the front near the top right hand corner. The windowed poly-lined white inner sleeve just has the usual faint browning / ageing to the edges and a few creases, There is a date code 0670 indicating a manufacture date of June 1970. This was probably part of stock built up prior to release in July 1970. , a very desirable copy of a 42 year old record. Comes from a smoke free home. I ship in purpose-made strong cardboard mailers and I'm happy to combine multiple purchases in one parcel to save on shipping costs.
