IN SEARCH OF SPACE LP WITH LOG

Superb first press in stunning COLLECTOR'S condition, take a look at picture three, the vinyl still looks like a mirror and shines brightly.

The all important matrix numbers establishing it's first press status are:

Side 1.UAG 29202 A-1U and Side 2.UAG 29202 B-1U.

I have played this through both sides on a Fonz cq30 deck with an SME arm with a new stylus, going through and Audiolab 8000a coming out of new-ish B&W speakers, it sounds absolutely fantastic, warm, spacey, with NO clicks or pops and virtually NO dust crackle-outstanding.

I use the Record Collector grading system and I grade down.

Delicate fold out E.J.Day sleeve is in EX+ condition, the serated edges are amazingly UNBENT and UNCREASED save for a very mild start-of-a-bend at the very top on the left hand section but it's nothing that draws the eye. Apart from that, there are one or two small, very mild, signs of wear in the odd place on the cover but the spines are all good and solid with NO bends or creases, the back of the cover and the inside are pretty much Mint.

The Log is EX- with a couple of bends in the bottom section.

The vinyl is a stunning EX+. I have looked at this, both sides, in direct sunlight (we had some today believe it or not!!) there are a few very surface, very mild sleeve withdrawal marks both sides but that's it, it looks like an LP a quater of it's age.

There are one or two very small, light, spindle marks on the labels indicating it has always been placed carefully on the turntable.

I am also selling a copy of Warrior on the Edge of Time in the same condition.

I have supersized the pictures so take a close look.

I will mail this out in a purpose built record mailer with cardboard stiffeners, either side of the record, collection is also possible from The New Forest.

There is no reserve and a .99p start price.

Thank you for looking.
