ATTENTION PRIVATE PRESSING AND 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC LP COLLECTORS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1973 ALBUM BY THE GREAT YARMOUTH(NORFOLK) BAND EXCALIBUR: "SCEPTRE" MADE IN A TINY QUANTITY OF JUST 99 COPIES BY THE TINY,INDEPENDENT YARMOUTH RECORDING STUDIOS LABEL WHICH WAS MADE BY SPECIAL ORDER TO BE SOLD AT LOCAL GIGS FUNDED IT WOULD SEEM BY THE LANDLORD OF A LOCAL PUB WHERE THE BAND PLAYED ON A REGULAR BASIS PLAYING A MIXTURE OF STYLES. HIGHLIGHT BEING A VERY INTERESTING VERSION OF HAWKWIND'S THEN CURRENT,BIG HIT:"SILVER MACHINE". THIS LP IS IN STEREO AND HAS VERY CLEAR SOUND! BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE BEFORE MY TEST PLAY BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO HAS KEPT IT IN PRISTINE CONDITION! THERE IS THE USUALLY MISSING INSERT WITH INFORMATION ON THE BAND. THE DELICATE HOME MADE TYPE COVER IS VERY CLEAN. YOU'LL NEVER FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE! MOST OF THE COPIES THAT WERE MADE ARE NOW IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS OR FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF THE BAND WHO ARE UNLIKELY TO SELL! EITHER WAY IT'S SERIOUSLY RARE AND WELL WORTH MY £50 STARTING PRICE! 

THE COVER HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE MILD STAINING AT THE PLAIN WHITE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

THE DISC HAS VERY THICK VINYL WITH GLEAMING SURFACES! JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY AND FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS.HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS!

STRICTLY GRADED NEAR MINT CONDITION!

CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR!

This highly sought after album is the only copy I have ever found in nearly 30 years as a dealer!

The previous owner has been a collector for at least 45 years and this record is one of the rarest ever British progressive rock/70s pop albums in the collection that I will be offering for auction or set sale on ebay over the next few months!

Make sure you keep me in your favourites file or book in automated alerts so as not to miss out on LPs that are rarely seen on ebay or anywhere!

Some of the albums have never been reissued and of course are bound to increase in value.

There will be some LPs with"special extras"such as Autographed covers,usually missing inserts and alternative covers,Private pressings+of course as you would expect from me,in most cases,1st editions!

As ever I will be grading strictly and providing any information required. KEEP WATCHING!!! 

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Near mint or Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

Many were bought DIRECT from the artists at gigs that the previous owner attended!    

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment or taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

An ideal opportunity to add a VERY RARE album in superb TOP condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
