Description
This is the original UK self titled LP from Forest, released on Harvest in 1969. I won't go on about how rare this is as I guess you already know about this LP.
Sleeve: The cover I would describe as somewhere around VG+++ to EX-. It is in very nice condition overall, but does have a sticker removal tear on the top left corner, and a smaller tear with some dry tape residue on the top right. I have taken photo's of both flaws, so you can get a better idea of the condition. Other than that, there is just some light creasing etc, but nothing major. The original paper inner has some light creasing and discolouration, but again, nothing major.
Labels: The labels are in superb condition, with just a couple of light spindle marks. As with all original copies of this LP, there is no EMI logo on the labels.
Vinyl: Both sides are in superb EX+++ to NM condition. There are no feelable scratches and no visible hairlines of any kind. There is also no visible signs of groove wear whatsoever. There are some very light paper scuffs from inner sleeve removal, but nothing to worry about at all. Other than that, the vinyl shines like new.
Audio: The audio is superb with only some light noise in the quieter sections. This LP looks barely played, I would guess 2-3 times at the most. There is no audible distortion or signs of groove wear/damage whatsoever. The record sounds fantastic and plays great.

Postage details:
I send all my items fully insured to the value of the winning bid. I send everything extremely well packaged to ensure a safe delivery. I do not use flimsy record mailers that end up with bent corners etc. Instead, I use the heavier weight cardboard mailers that ensure that the LP and it's sleeve are fully protected. I remove all LP's from their sleeves and place them in a random old LP sleeve to ensure that the item I'm sending does not end up with seam splits etc. The main LP sleeve will be placed in a protective PVC sleeve for added safety.
If you are bidding from outside the UK, please note... Although the listing says I will be sending via Royal Mail worldwide, I may use another tracking service. Ebay doesn't give me the option of an alternate courier, so I have to pick one of the Royal Mail ones they offer, even though they are only compensated for up to £50 and there is no way I will send this LP insured for less than the full value of the winning bid. The postage cost of £16 will stay the same, but I may use a different courier so I can insure the LP for the full value of the winning bid. I will of course send you the tracking number so you can keep track on the LP whilst it is in transit. If you are not happy with this, then please do not bid.
All items are sent fully insured/recorded and will require a signature upon receipt. I will also accept cash on collection.
Thanks for looking.
