Title: The Magic Shoemaker
Label: See for Miles SEE 294 (1990)
Featuring Dave Lamber later of Strawbs fame. Rumoured to feature one Jimi Hendrix on guitar I think this was never proven? High priced rarity originally released on Pye lable in 1970. This is one of the rarest prog albums around and lives up to its reputation with a series of stunning prog and pysch tracks telling the story of the Magic Shoemaker.

I am not a professional dealer; just trying to finance my vinyl habit by thinning the herd after upgrades and trades. I try my best to grade these honestly under bright light and most of the time after a recent spin. I grade conservatively to avoid the disappointments I have experienced on eBay.

Thanks to Record Collector Magazine for use of this Grading scale. I use the symbols (+/-) or (++) in some cases to enhance detail.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
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, discoloration, 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.
