Notes:-

Released in a gatefold cover on a Vertigo ''swirl'' label.

The vinyl is flat shiny and looks almost perfect. I played it this morning and it sounds even better. This is not one of the typically scratched and beaten records of this era. Side two has the Swirl label and no writing. There is a name sticker on the record label on side 1.

The sleeve has no unwanted marking on it at all and it even has the swirl on the top right hand front cover (see the pictures). The back is clean and all the artwork is sharp and clear. The spine is sharp and very clear. The original inner large swirl sleeve with anti static liner is present and although in very good condition, time has yellowed the paper a little.

If you are looking at this auction I'm sure you will know all about it's history and the impact it had in 1970. My wife purchased this record new in her youth and it has hardly been played since. The cover is very good and the vinyl looks amazing for a record of it's age. The sleeve is in good condition, (see below) the artwork is bold and sharp, no scuffing to the edges, only very very small scuffs at the corners. I very much doubt that you will find a better example.

Please see the picturesor ask for more if you at all unsure.

Condition:-

Record: Excellent / near mint 

Outer Cover: Excellent / near mint Some very very small scuffs on the corners. .

I now listen to all the records I am selling on good quality equipment, so the grading is for sight and Play Quality. This is taking me some time but a great trip listening to all this fantastic music.

I am not a record dealer, I am selling part of an extensive collection of interesting and rare vinyl collected during my youth. I will be adding many more very rare vinyl LP's over the next weeks.

Identifying each recording is not easy, but I have tried to be as accurate as I can be. Please forgive any mistakes and please let me know if I get anything wrong.

I will try my best to correct any errors.

I have more pictures if you would like any more please let me know.

I now apply the Ebay ‘4-day’ rule for non-payment.

Please note and take in consideration that vinyl records although perfectly playable do not have the same quality sound as today’s modern CDs,they tend to have a much richer sound, but there is inevitably some back ground 'noise'

All my records are of good playable quality but should be properly cleaned before playing.

You should bare in mind that these vinyl records are many years old and will thus not be in pristine condition, they were not produced yesterday.

THE POST OFFICE HAVE PUT UP THE COST POSTAGE AGAIN !

For safety all my records will be well packed in LP mailer envelope with packers and posted 'signed For', hence the slightly higher packing and postage costs.

PAYMENT:I prefer PayPal, but I will accept cheques and postal orders.

The item will beposted as soon as any cheque has been cleared, several days!

Please take note the seller will not be held responsible for items lost in transit via standard mail .

Sorry but no collections are possible, unless by prior agreement, i.e. before you bid.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration,etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
