Description

JOHN MAYALL: LOOKING BACK
I will try my best to describe this record as honestly as possible. Photographs are included to help you assess condition and value. I accept that sometime issues like "sound quality" can be subjective so I offer a no quibble return policy if your purchase does not meet your expectations.

Overview: UK 1st pressing on the unboxed Decca label from 1969 in stereo.  Sleeve is Ex+(see photos). Vinyl: is near mint with fantastic audio. This belonged to a friend of mine who transferred his record collection to cassette as soon as high quality decks became available so it has endured minimal play.

 Sleeve: The gate-fold laminated sleeve has a small number of very minor creases. The spine has lost a little colour. There is the smallest amount of wear to the bottom edge but it looks great and must be close to EX+.
Vinyl: is close to flawless and sounds superb. As the album is compiled from different sources, keep in mind the sound quality varies from track to track. Nr mint.
Labels: EX+ - a few very minor, barely noticeable spindle trails when viewed under angled light
Inner sleeve: I'm pretty sure this is original and is Nr Mint.

 The record will be posted out in a professional cruciform mailer (pizza box style) with high quality rigid corrugated card stiffeners, I will take every precaution to safeguard your purchase. The disc will be removed from the outer sleeve prior to shipping. If the inner sleeve is original, I will put the disc in a generic sleeve to avoid damage to the original. The album will also be housed in a PVC protective sleeve.
I don't spend all day hooked up to my computer but will guarantee to answer any questions within 24 hours.
I unconditionally guarantee anything I sell, so buy with confidence.
