Original UK COLUMBIA Stereo LP recording - SAX 2263
1st Stereo Pressing; Blue/Silver Label
Extremely rare, very highly praised and sought after performance in this magnificently sounding stereo recording.
*******
The record shows many signs of being played (light paper scuffs and light scratch marks) although still retains a bright sheen and is visually graded Excellent: EX/76.
It plays very well in wonderful stereo sound with no skips or jumps; with a little crackle noise in places probably much of it due to dust/handling over the years with random and light repeated ticks in places.
The picture gives a good impression of the flip back sleeve, a little scruffy with some shelf wear, some laminate creasing and a 1 inch tear at the back of the opening; visually graded EX/76.
Potential buyers please note this is not a near mint record - see my grading system below - it is offered for sale because, due to it's rarity, I hope it will be of interest.
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description/grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve.
Please do not leave negative feedback or less than 5 star Detailed Seller Rating without giving me the chance to rectify any problems. If you have a problem please contact me via the eBay message service.

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)
80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly show any marks.
*This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
