CARAVAN

In the Land of Grey and Pink

THIS IS THE 3rd STUDIO ALBUM FROM PROG AND CANTERBURY SCENE ROCKERS, 'CARAVAN', AND IT IS A GREAT ALBUM. AMAZING COVER BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, AND ANOTHER 1970's GEM FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, BUT TO AVOID TO MUCH CONTACT WITH OTHER PEOPLE IF THE POST OFFICE STAYS OPEN, I WILL ONLY BE POSTING TWICE A WEEK . IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE .

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK PRESS  ::  ZAL - 10424 .P-1D  ::  ZAL - 10425 .P-1D .
AMAZING EARLY MOTHERS AND STAMPERS  :: 1 UU  :: 1 BA .


ON THE RED AND WHITE DERAM LABEL :: SDL R1 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE, AND IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES ON THE SPINE SIDE EDGE, AND A COUPLE OF VERY VERY FAINT SPOT STAINS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, AND THEY ARE FAINT AS YO CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, SO I WOULD GRADE THIS BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE, A VERY EASY :: EX/EX+ . 

VINYL :: NOW THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, AND REALLY IS A JOY TO LISTEN TO AS THE AUDIO IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. ALL I HEARD WAS A FAINT POP JUST AFTER THE START AND ANOTHER ONE TOWARDS THE END ON TRACK 1. WHILE ON SIDE 2 ONLY ONE FAINT TICK AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1. VISUALLY THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND ALSO A THIN SLIGHTLY FEELABLE SCUFF LINE WHICH IS ON TWO GROOVES WHICH GOES ROUND THE FULL CIRCLE OF THE VINYL, AND IS RIGHT AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1. ( PLEASE SEE THE LAST PHOTO, AND PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF AS YOU WILL SEE WHEN YOU READ ON, THANK YOU ) NOW THE GOOD NEWS IS IT HAS NOT DAMAGED THE INNER GROOVES, BUT IT CAUSES ABOUT A TWO SECOND LIGHT HISS SOUND. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS BAD, BUT REALLY IT IS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO BE TOTALLY HONEST, AND ALL IT DOES IS ABOUT TWO SECOND LIGHT HISS AND GONE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE A REAL TOUGH ONE TO AUDIO GRADE, SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE IN TWO TO GIVE YOU THE A BETTER DESCRIPTION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

WITHOUT THAT TWO SECOND LIGHT HISS, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY STRONG AND IF NOT A TINY BIT BETTER  :: EX+ .

NOW WITH THAT TWO SECOND LIGHT HISS, I WILL HAVE TO GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX- .

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A BIG DROP IN THE AUDIO GRADE, AND THAT IS ONLY DUE TO THAT LIGHT HISS, SO IT HAS TO BE GRADED FAIRLY. BUT I THINK YOU CAN SEE IT IS A TOP PLAYING VINYL WITH JUST THAT BIT OF HISS. ANY WAY THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION !!!! 

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AT THE CENTRE  :: EX+ .

POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH  NO WRITING, JUST A VERY TINY TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE IN THE MIDDLE. NOW NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 1971 ORIGINAL, BUT THIS ONE IS EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT A 1973 INNER  :: EX- .  

SO A BEAUTIFUL GATEFOLD, AND REALLY SUPERB AUDIO WITH JUST THAT LIGHT HISS AND IS QUICKLY FORGOTTEN !!!! A REALLY GREAT 70's ROCK CLASSIC !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
