TITLE

Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House 1970 USA early (first press?) Reprise RS6408 penguins VG+/VG

Description

Lovely original 1970 early (first press?) stereo on stunning USA Reprise tan labels in Very Good overall condition with superb penguin insert.  Overall not perfect, but would sit very comfortably in any discerning buyer’s collection.

Cover / Spine /Inners

For a 50+ year old record this cover is exceptionally good with no significant creases / dents other than one to the back cover (see photo) where there is also a little ring-wear.

There are no splits, tears, biro, residues, etc.

The spine is perfectly legible and sharp.  There is no ‘Made in the USA’ on the spine suggesting a later first press.

The penguin fold-out insert is almost Mint with just one or two tiny hints of finger-marks and creases. Unless the insert was left out in the sun for a short while I would suggest the slightly lighter ‘fading’ on the right of the front of the insert is a manufacturing fault.  This is more noticeable in the photo than in reality and most people wouldn’t spot it.

There is a period plain inner sleeve which has a small edge tears at the bottom and to one side.  A previous owner has sellotaped the bottom. This inner sleeve is dry and yellowed but adds to the authenticity.

Vinyl

The vinyl has been cleaned and is overall VG.  However I think it would benefit from a professional clean.

There are one or two scuffs and marks on the vinyl, but no scratches than I can see.

It is more than acceptable to play and enjoy and would standup favourably against most records from the period.

Label / Spindle marks

The period Reprise labels are 1970s ‘tan-tastic’ with one or two barely noticeable spindle marks.  I personally absolutely love this burnt-orange / tan colour and the contrasting red Reprise logo.  Unfortunately ‘Leslie Saunders’ is immortalised in biro on side 2 only (see photo).

Other Beatles, Led Zep, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Hollies, etc, records in good condition to follow - watch for my other items.

Postage at cost

The price for postage is essentially at cost - ie: it includes tracked delivery, a new cardboard mailer, new acid-free paper sleeve(s) and a mark-up equivalent to the fees applied to postage.

The record will be carefully packaged and sent in a new LP mailer to the UK MAINLAND ONLY.  I’ll happily pass on all postage savings net of fees for multiple purchases.

General Statement (exceptions will be clearly noted).

This record is from the collection of a great music fan.  Many items were bought new and have been played and enjoyed over 40 or 50 years or so, though carefully selected second-hand items with less provenance have been added over the years.

The collector is fastidious and the sleeves have been kept in pvc covers.  The vinyl has been cleaned each time it was played and the quality styluses regularly changed.

He principally curated a collection of 60s / 70s / 80s LPs and 45s across the genres of rock, psychedelia and folk, but his love of music has taken them into other areas - please see my other items for sale.

I have spent time researching the items that I am selling and have done my very best to identify the correct version, but please do messag eme if you feel there is an error in the listing.

Items are photographed carefully before listing to uniquely identify the vinyl with the sleeve.

The record has been test-played and in our opinion it is more than acceptable for enjoyable listening. There may be the odd pop or scratch in quieter tracks or between tracks.

I have not allowed returns as the item is described and photographed in detail.  These are second-hand items and will come with some age-related faults, as do all items other than NM/NM.  If there are any problems whatsoever please message me to find a mutually-beneficial solution to maintain 100% positive feedback on both sides.
