I am having a massive clearout of DVD, CD and Vinyl, all from either my own collection or from 2 recent huge collections that I have recently been lucky to acquire, many of these items are either new and sealed, new and unplayed ( yes this is true neither collectors played or watched anything they bought !!!!)  or are generally in Mint / Near Mint or Excellent condition unless otherwise described.
Any questions please ask and I will always try to ensure satisfaction.

Genesis  - Original UNBOXED DECCA - UK 1st Press - NO INSERT but has original DECCA inner sleeve 

Description:

The debut album by Genesis, released in March 1969 on the Decca label. Recorded while the band members were still teenagers, the album blends early progressive rock with orchestral arrangements by Arthur Greenslade. Although it received little attention at release, it has since become a sought‑after collectible, especially in its original stereo form.
