                                       JETHRO  TULL  " BENEFIT "  ALBUM  1ST PRESSING

                               Released in 1970  on the " CHRYSALIS "  LABEL  ILPS 9123 stereo

                                                         Condition:     NEAR  MINT


                      I bought this Album the week it was released from my local record shop.  It was
                      always played on a high quality record deck (Thorens 125 turntable SME arm
                      with Shure V15 cartridge.)  The Album has always been cleaned with a high
                      quality record cleaner and stored in an anti-static inner sleeve and the Album
                      cover kept in a plastic outer sleeve. 

                      I am not a record dealer, I am just selling off my own private Album collection.

                                                                   THE  COVER

                     The COVER is in a NEAR MINT condition.  It is a SEMI SHEEN finish which is
                     VERY CLEAN.  The FRONT and BACK COVERS are free from any defects. 
                     The FOUR CORNERS are all FIRM and TRUE and there are no scuff marks on
                     the two top corners but there are two extremely light and tiny scuffs on the bottom
                     two corners, which are hardly noticeable.  The SPINE is BEAUTIFUL, it is
                     STRAIGHT, CLEAN and CLEAR with CRISP PINCHED ENDS.  The SLEEVE
                     OPENING is STRAIGHT and SHARP with no signs of any wear.  For an Album
                     COVER of 39 years old it is in a truly REMARKABLE condition, as close as you'll
                     get to a NEW COPY.

                                                                   THE  VINYL

                    The ALBUM is in a NEAR MINT condition, it is SUPERB in a HIGH GLOSS
                    MIRROR finish, free from any hair lines and is VERY CLEAN.  The LABELS
                    are also VERY CLEAN and CLEAR and both sides are free from any SPINDLE
                    marks.  This Album has not been played for 37 years.  I did the TEST PLAY on
                    my REGA PLANAR 3 record deck (only the fourth or fifth time this Album has ever
                    been played) and I was KNOCKED OUT by the SOUND QUALITY.  It had CLEAN,
                    CRISP and DETAILED audio, even in the quiet passages of music there was no
                    surface noise.  On side 1. track 5.  there were just a couple of static pops, which in
                    no way effect the sound quality.  It is becoming very difficult to find this Album in
                    this almost NEW condition.  Don't miss it !

                                                                PEDRO'S  VINYL

                     I have been collecting Albums since 1964 and have amassed a fantastic collection
                     of rare LPs. I recently made the traumatic decision to sell off my collection in order
                     to finance other ventures.  I have always been obsessive about playing my Albums
                     on the best possible audio equipment for that era. The Albums have always been
                     stored in a specially made LP unit to keep them free from dust and heat.  Good luck
                     with your bidding and thank you for looking, PEDRO.
