Description

FAMILY: FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT

I will try my best to describe this record as honestly as possible. Photographs are included to help you assess condition and value. I accept that sometime issues like "sound quality" can be subjective so I offer a no quibble return policy if your purchase does not meet your expectations.
Overview: Original UK 1969 stereo pressing on the early tri-colour Reprise label housed in a front laminated flip-back sleeve. The sleeve is stickered "stereo", this label is lifting at one edge (it could be easily stuck down). There is some slight damage to the flip back and some general wear to the sleeve (see photos). The vinyl has minor hairlines and superficial scuffs, nothing that impacts on the audio. There is some background noise, nothing too intrusive - but noticeable on my high end system. The poster is in excellent condition.
Reprise: RSLP 6340 Stereo
1969

Sleeve: Minor micro- creases. Damage to one corner of the flip back (see photo). There is a "stereo" sticker that is peeling off. VG+
Labels: Excellent, some minor spider trails when held at an angle against the light
Vinyl: Minor hairlines and some superficial scuffs, visually still presentable. Audio has some noticeable background noise in places, nothing too intrusive. There are no disturbing clicks, pops or skips. VG   Inner sleeve: is a generic white "patents pending", it is from the right era as it has a pre-decimal price sticker on it but I have no idea if it is original.

Poster: Excellent, no pin holes or tears.
The record will be posted out in a professional cruciform mailer (pizza box style) with high quality rigid corrugated card stiffeners, I will take every precaution to safeguard your purchase. The disc will be removed from the outer sleeve prior to shipping. If the inner sleeve is original, I will put the disc in a generic sleeve to avoid damage to the original. The album will also be housed in a PVC protective sleeve.
I don't spend all day hooked up to my computer but will guarantee to answer any questions within 24 hours.

I unconditionally guarantee anything I sell, so buy with confidence.
