PLEASE CONSIDER THAT IN THESE EBAY AUCTIONS I USE A STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM THAT CAN'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT ,FOR EXAMPLE,  A VG+ COVER OR A VG+ VINYL  IT'S EQUIVALENT TO "BAD CONDITIONS" BUT SIMPLY THAT MY GRADE IT'S STRICT AND PROBABLY EQUIVALENT TO AN EX OF SOMEONE ELSE WITH  NOT A SO STRICT GRADE. I HAVE SOLD IN THESE AUCTIONS EX- RECORDS THAT WERE SURELLY M- COPIES BUT I PREFERE TO BE STRICT TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTEMENT BECAUSE I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY REPUTATION.

Record Collector Magazine Grading System MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.



graded VG+/VG for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system


label: The pale yellow Matchbox SDM 159 + A on side 1 and +B on side 2  label does not have that  some spindle marks and nothing else so VG++. This is the original press and it's really very rare differently to the standard issue reputed to be original that it's white and light blue but with the standard Saydisc design and this is Matchbox , then he have the same design of "Blues Like Showers of Rain " that it's a Matchbox of 1967  and SDM 142 so this is the rare first press that I haven't see before now...the standart issue it's in my opinion from 1969 the same year of "Blues Like Shower Of Rain Vol. 2" that has the same label.
cover: The cover it's a classic british front laminated and does have a slight wear without particular damages so light creases and the back it's not particulary dirty so I call it a strong VG+ but can be considered maybe more.
vinyl: the vinyl does light marks and does have a light background crackle and some odd pop here and here. It's the classic VG and being an acoustic album this crackles are quite listenable but sincerelly not so high and at a medium volume I have listened it in full and enjoyed a lot without suffer in any way for the crackle that has been between 1/2 on a scale of 10....but please don't buy this lp if you need an EX copy because this is not this is a VG and play as a VG.
review: Very rare first press of a legendary british blues performance. On side 1 Mike Cooper sing and plays acoustic guitar, Ian Anderson plays guitar and Chris Turner the Harmonica. On side two Ian Anderson sing and Al Jones plays Guitar and Sing, Elliot Jackson, Harmonica, Noel Sheldo, Jug ... please don't miss!
