JAN DUKES DE GREY- MICE & RATS IN THE LOFT- 1971 UK LP

$

250

Hi Vinyl Fans,

I was importing rock/folk records from England during the late 60’s and early 70’s.  The remaining records of the business are to be auctioned off in the next few months.  Many are rare 1st pressings on small, obscure labels (Vertigo, TRA, Pegasus, B & C, etc).  Please consider adding me to your “Favorite Sellers”.

To the best of my knowledge, these have never been played, unless otherwise noted. These records came directly from a London record distributor, without shrink wrap. Grading is visual- under bright light as accurately and honestly as possible.  Grading:        Near Mint (NM), Very Good Plus (VG+), Very Good (VG), Good (G)

Offered here is:

JAN DUKES DE GREY-MICE & RATS IN THE LOFT-1971 UK LP

PLEASE NOTE RECORD CONDITION BEFORE BIDDING

Label/#                          Transatlantic TRA 234

Year of release              1971

Inner sleeve condition   VG+, original see through plastic with a sponge like material on the opening edge (see photo), coming unglued at seam in 2 areas and yellowing where attached to back with 37 years of age- will be shipped in separate paper sleeve

Record condition          VG+?. There is a visible interaction between the sponge like material on the open edge of the sleeve and the outer edge and 1st cut on both sides of the record ( one side has about a 3 inch area, the other about 5 inches). It is also slightly lighter in color in this area. The rest of the record looks like new, and appears never to have been played. It is impossible to determine the sound quality based on visual inspection.

I believe this to be a 1st press or a 1st year original of a rare 1971 English record.
