DON BRADSHAW-LEATHER 1972 2LP Private Press THE ENID
Label:- Distance Records
Catalogue: - DIST77
On offer here is a very rare 1972 UK 2xLP private pressing in laminated gatefold. A weird cross between goth/psych rock and horror film music. Piano, organ, mellotron, creepy sounds and afro-beats. You get the picture. Some say he was a wealthy hippy/occultist with links to The Enid but information is vague. It is listed in the excellent book The Tapestry Of Delights. Certainly its rarely up for sale so good luck!
Vinyl: - EX. (Absolutely minimal play. Test play produced the odd pop now and then but this is down to the fact that it's the usual private pressing quality so this is to be expected. It must be noted that Side Four has more pops and clicks than the rest of the album and the sound quality is generally lower. All copies of this album that I know of have been like this as it seems to be a characteristic of the pressing)
Sleeve: - EX
Labels: - NEAR MINT (Hard to spot any spindle marks on any side. These labels almost look hand printed?)
This record seldom comes up for sale. Dont miss your chance
GRADING ABBREV DESCRIPTION MINT M The record is as new. The cover and any inserts should be in perfect condition.Many Dealers do not use this classification as A record is unlikely to arrive through the post in truly mint condition. EXCELLENT
PLUS EX+ The record is near-mint, there is no damage or visible surface marking. Under Bright Light you may see fine lines on the record, caused by rubbing on the paper sleeve. Reserve this grade for records where you have difficulty spotting anything wrong.
The Cover and inserts are undamaged. EXCELLENT EX The record may show some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks or fingerprints but there is no appreciable lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. EXCELLENT
MINUS EX- There may be fairly visible surface markings under bright light but the sound quality of the record is not adversely affected.
The Cover and inserts may have noticeable light creasing or "foxing" due to dampness but they are all present and intact. VERY GOOD VG The record has obviously been played a lot, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite surface marks and some light scratches. Also Use this grading where the record has suffered perhaps one more visible scratch, but is otherwise in EX or better condition.
The cover may be creased a little and/or frayed at the opening. You should itemize any more serious damage such as tears.
I also use +/- if I feel a record comes between a grade
