Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple). 4 on the Floor, US 1st issue DJ copy vinyl album

Now becoming hard to find, particularly this side of the pond as originally issued only in US. Whilst Glenny is not credited on the sleeve, he did the vocals throughout.

When originally bought (pre loved) played twice at most, well it was Glenny, but also disco/funk ?.

Disc was then filed away on a shelf…only to now surface.

Outer sleeve is in very good condition, sharp corners with only mildest of pinch creases to the spine which is also slightly faded from storage, but title and cat number still legible.

Front top left hand corner, half across girls face, some adhesive residue where former price label removed.

Centre of rear sleeve adjacent to side 1 titles, some very minor scuffing with very slightest print loss…didn’t notice first time I looked!

Beginnings of slight disc indentation front and rear but no print loss, small amount of grubby scuffing at top of indent front and rear, - see photos. No splits. Foil block printed box on rear ‘loaned for promotion only…’

Original Casablanca inner paper bag, 10cm edge split to one side.

Albums appears visually in excellent condition (when last played 25/7/90, noted as Excellent on both sides to my ears at the time with deep gloss lustre, very slightest hairline only. No spindle wear.

Selling on behalf of my Dad (who supplied all the info) from his personal collection, from the olden days when he collected vinyl.

I aim to use recycled packaging when possible, but rest assure that your vinyl will be well packed and protected against the trials of postal travel!

Important perspective info, please read….thanks ?.

A few words about the vinyl grading.

I try to be as honest as possible, but all grades are based upon an experienced but ultimately subjective visual inspection, trying to identify and highlight obvious issues.

Back in the day whilst my Dad purchased much of the vinyl new, as he expanded his collection, (eventually running into a few thousand discs) hence many only played once, inevitably he was drawn to second hand (pre-loved) copies of certain discs, including the rarer original 1970’s issue boots.

As you will appreciate, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this or looking at the listing, the nature of many of these live/unofficial recordings meant that original production standards were not necessarily a top priority, with occasional mastering/pressing faults occurring.

Similarly with any second hand vinyl which in some cases is almost 50 years old they will potentially exhibit aural signs of having been played, sometimes a fair bit..these are not mint, new unplayed discs (unless stated).

The attraction for my Dad was either obtaining the different variations of an issue or otherwise unavailable rare recordings…its called collecting!

When playing vinyl my Dad had a Technics SL1800 turntable with Ortfon cartridge, so no thrashing and grinding on an old  fidelity UA4! (early 70’s starter bedroom lo-fi, crank it up ?).

Any questions or if you need more photos please ask.

NB For your info.

You will be liable for import VAT at the time of delivery via the postal/courier service in your country. The amount of the VAT payable will depend on how the items are classed for VAT in your country. 

The exact implementation of this is likely to vary across different postal services, and there may be some grace period for orders from the UK over the initial weeks and months in some countries, especially for items in transit on 1st January 2021.

Didn't the UK and EU sign a free-trade deal?

Yes, but the UK-EU Free Trade deal agreed on December 24th 2020 means that duties will not be payable on the vast majority of goods moving between the UK and EU. However, duties and VAT are different things, and this does not impact on the VAT measures detailed above.
