*****************************************************************
This highly sought after album was from the collection of a very careful collector who has kept them carefully away from light and heat for OVER 40 years!
The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!
The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!
Most that were buying albums in 1973 were usually using dreadful equipment!
An ideal opportunity to add a classic album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
