This LP is part of my well looked after private collection ever since I purchased it new in 1974 thereabouts, having seen very little occasional use and has been well stored and looked after and plays perfectly through my adc diamond cartridge and SME titanium Arm setup.
A real nice album and the best if not near mint quality of the original early issue bought from new in the early 1970s, please see all photos for more detail.
The Album will be posted in specialist Record album Packaging to protect it in transit, insured and delivered signed for upon receipt.
If buying multiple Albums from me then I can combine up to 3 single albums in one payed postage and packing, please advise me if you choose this option.
I can arrange International postage at additional cost, please contact me for details with your country and post/zip code for quote.
Evidently the Channel Islands are considered outside of Gt Britain Royal Mail postal area so postage will be as for European postage cost.
