Description
A very good (VG/VG+), albeit well-played, copy of Caravan's iconic 1970 album "If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You".
This has the small blue boxed Decca labels - "Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound" and the date under the band's name (pictured). It displays the ZAL-9752.P-2W/4W matrix.
The album is by no means mint but still plays well. I have graded the vinyl as VG, showing signs of use and with hairlines, light scratches and slight scuffs visible under strong light. Under stringent play testing some faint crackle can sometimes be detected in the quietest moments. Certainly there are no sticks or jumps, the worst I can say is that other than the odd pop, there are couple of instances of faint repetitive clicks but these are not particularly extended.
The sleeve is the front laminated original Robert Stace printed sleeve ("Laminated with 'Clarifoil' made by British Celanese Limited") and grades VG+ being clean and unmarked by writing nor sticker residues. There are some small laminate wrinkles to the front and some signs of shelfwear to the back cover.
The inner sleeve is Decca blue printed on white poly-lined.
If you are looking for a mint copy, then with respect please look elsewhere. I have described it as accurately as possible and would consider it as a more than respectable listening copy and worth its place in many a collection.
Given the rarity of this highly collectable album, a very low starting price!
The record will be sent First Class (Signed for).
At the moment I regret that I am only posting to the UK and just Paypal please.
Many thanks for looking!
