I have for auction from my own collection this superb original copy of this highly collectable album.Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Harvey Mandel are among the stunning line of musicians on this album.This album is not a best of,the musicians were gathered together specifically to record this album.This copy has the original early textured gatefold sleeve which is in stunning condition.The textured sleeves of these copies were made from a very soft card and to find one in reasonable condition is hard enough.However this one is in near mint condition and looks almost new.The spine is perfectand there are no creases,very hard to find like this.The thick LP sized book is in mint condition and contains some fabulous photographs of the musicians John Mayall has performed with.I have closely inspected the vinyl(which comes in the original inner sleeves) and it looks unplayed,the labels have no signs of spindle marks.If held under strong light there is a light imprint caused by storing in the original polythene lined inner sleeves.This was common with early Polydor albums and i have many others with the same problem,it in no way effects the audio performance.I gave it a play for the first time in many years prior to listing and it played superbly on my £18,000 Linn Naim system.The vinyl i will grade as near mint,although to my eyes it looks totally pristine.If you want a copy of this album that looks stunning and has super audio then this copy must be worth consideration.You will really struggle to find a better copy of this album,and it is one of John Mayalls hardest to find albums.
I have listed it with a low starting price for such a rare item so GOOD LUCK!
Postage charges are:- UK £4.98 1st class recorded,Europe £6.60p gbp,Rest of the world £11.60p gbp.This album is very heavy and without packaging weighs 650grams.I will ship worldwide.All records that sell for more than £50 will only be sent by signed for secure delivery this costs extra.
As always if you are not happy with my description or gradings return the record and i will give a full refund.
