A.F.T - Automatic fine Tuning
Rare and sought after prog gem with the little played vinyl and superb audio quality being true highlights
Year/Label : 1976 CHARISMA UK Label number : CAS 1122 STEREO Matrix numbers : CAS1122 A//1 1, CAS1122 B//1 1 Stampers : 11 9 / 11 9Excellent plus (EX+) condition vinyl retaining it's original jet black lacquered sheen and in normal daylight comes across as completely unmarked - a real gleamer. It is only with very close inspection under a bright light that just a few small and extremely faint paper scuff lines can be identified - purely superficial of course. The labels are again excellent plus (EX+) - near perfect with the only marks being a few small very faint rogue spindle trails next to the centre hole on each label. Clearly, this is a record that has been only sparingly played. A very good plus (VG+) condition non-laminated James Upton outer sleeve with firm edges and just the occasional very small and very light scuff mark accompanied by the occasional tiny "nick" on each edge, including the spine with the spine text itself remaining nicely intact.The corners remain well defined right angles with just a little rubbing on each, there is some mild ring wear on the right side of the front edge, and there are just a few very small and non-obvious light handling/storage marks on each side (each very trivial). The opening edges also remain firm with no fraying and all colours, text and art work remain in excellent shape with great definition still. In summary, some minor blemishes but remaining fully functional and highly presentable. Excellent plus (EX+) stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, clicks, distortion or background crackle. Great tone and clarity with every track a great listen - such an underrated and "under the radar" LP - this is heavy prog with a multitude of great guitar licks from start to finish! Comes with original and very good plus condition plain white "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" inner sleeve with no splits or edge fraying and just some creasing towards the corners and sporadic very minor age discolouration. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original. Long lost and very hard to find prog gem and difficult to believe that this great condition copy is 49 years of age.
POSTAGE COSTS :

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
