FLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND - Satori

Original Japanese 1st Press LP

Atlantic (P-8056A)

 Rare original Japanese first press on the Atlantic label with heavy card gatefold sleeve and original printed insert. This rare first pressing can be differentiated from later pressings by the 2,000 Yen price printed on the rear of the sleeve. A nice solid copy of an album that rarely turns up in anything like this condition and the vinyl here is pretty nice and plays superbly well.

The thick card gatefold sleeve is in vg+ condition. There are no splits, no teras and no writing. We've downgraded heavily due to the spotting and light ringwear. We have not brightened the photos so you can see the spotting, too many sellers brighten their photos to bleach out any spotting and discolouration. This a solid example. No Obi.

The 2,000 Yen price denoting a first pressing.

Both labels are in vg++ condition. There is no spindle wear. There are some spider marks and some light spotting.

The insert is in near mint condition, no tears, no writing and no creases.

The record is in a strong vg+ condition with its original sheen. Under a very bright light source there is some paper scuffing and a few light hairlines. There are not a large amount of scuffs. There are no feelable marks and the record plays superbly well.

Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.

All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.

Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
