Alan Price Set A PRICE ON HIS HEAD 1967 UK LP 1st Press Deep Groove NEAR MINT

	£		19
	$		25

Description

I have come across a collection of records that defy time.

They belonged to a collector who was buying in the mid to late 60's through the 70's and 80's

However his family have said that he didn't own a record player until the mid 80's.

Very strange I know, but what it means is that the early records have in most cases never been played or at the most one play.

Naturally people's tastes in music change and that's why the 80's albums have had more play than the 60's

There are some incredible records in this collection

I aim to release one per day and will list them at 8pm UK time so that they don't get confused with my other listings

I will also be playing each record and recording IT. My very very careful test play will go undetected however

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE DEEP GROOVED LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UN-RUBBED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO MINT .  

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES VISIBLE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. 

AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS STILL NOTHING MORE TO SEE THAT A FEW OF THE TINIEST WISPY HAIRLINES 

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH CLEARLY ON BOTH SIDES, 

THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER

A CLEAR AND CLEAN STEREO AUDIO THROUGHOUT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS, PLUS A COUIPLE OF TINY TICS JUST AS SIDE ONE STARTS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

 

THE SLEEVE

 

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE

THE LAMINATED FRONT IS IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION/ NO PEEL LIFT OR FLAKE AT ALL

NO RING WEAR AND ONLY THE LIGHTEST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

THERE IS ONE OF THOSE NUMBERED STICKERS ON THE TOP RIGHT AREA , EASILY REMOVED IF REQUIRED

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE

NONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE ON THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DISPLAY NO RUB AND HAVE UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH TAPERED EDNS AND PRISTINE TYPEFACE

THE OPENING EDGE  HAS A LITTLE BURRING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT SURFACE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT. THERE IS ONE THIN LINE OF PAPER SNAGGING AT THE BOTTOM WHICH IS FROM LAMINATE ATTACHEMENT FROM ANOTHER COPY WHILST STILL WARM

THE POLY LINED INNER IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SPLITS. SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
