Hello there bidders!

This is my new account that I have set up primarily for vinyl records.  I will be listing my fathers rather rare records other the next week so come and grab some rare wax!!

You can bid with absolute confidence as I describe with total honesty with as many pictures as possible.

I know what it is like to get an over graded record turning up 2 weeks late, but that is not the service you will receive here.  I am a true lover of vinyl and this passion will be transferred to the security of your records!!

So enough of that and on to the record in hand!

Jethro Tull

Thick as a Brick

UK Original 1972 

CHR 1003

Chrysalis/ Island

Stereo

Here we have a really nice example of one of the rarest 60s records out there! This record hardly ever comes up for grabs and never in this lovely condition.

It’s a really lovely package with the newspaper being completely intact and readable!

It has the earliest matrix available and the lowest stampers!

Sleeve Condition.

The original newspaper sleeve is in really great condition with no stains, writing or rips at all.  The colours are still nice and vibrant with only mild shelf wear to the corner edges.  The spine has rubbed but is still holds the sleeve together perfectly.  The rear looks really great with all the writing perfectly readable.  The sleeve sits nice and flat as it should and all the pages of the newspaper are still present.  Overall a really nice example.

 Very Good +

Label Condition.

The original green Chrysalis labels are in fantastic condition.  There are no rips, rubbing, writing or stains to mention.  There is no centre hole damage at all.  .  Under a strong light, only a few invisible spindle lines can be seen!  It’s clear to see that this record has not been overplayed at all!

Excellent

Inner Condition.

The original “patent” inner sleeve is in lovely condition with no stains, rips or splits at all.  Only some mild folding to mention! Splendid!

Nr Mint

Vinyl Visual Condition.

The record itself looks superb!  It still retains its factory shine and lustre with no major scratches or warping at all.  Under a strong light, really fine hairlines can be seen, and some wispy removal marks that have no effect on playback. A really nice clean copy!

V Good +

Vinyl Audio Condition.

The record sounds superb!  There are no jumps, skips or nasty distortion at all! There was only a little crackle on the quiet between tracks that I’m sure a deep clean would take of, but even then it’s only minor! I heard only an occasional pop either side, and even they were minor.  It really is a nice sounding record! Very Good +

So there we have it.  A really nice copy of an increasingly rare record!

A superb classic!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy Bidding!!

All my records will be sent first class, signed for and insured to their value!

I will package the records with extreme care, with hard stiffeners and the vinyl separate to the sleeve and inner, all housed in a Defenda locktab record box envelope.

 I try to be as honest as I can in my descriptions, taking as many pictures as possible, but if you don’t feel happy with your purchase, I offer no quibble full refunds as soon as the record is sent back.  I will not give partial refunds however, only full.  I think this is fair, Thanks!

Over the next month I will be listing my Fathers record collection.  He was an avid collector who amassed a pretty huge collection that I will be offering all at 99p starts! I shall be listing No Emi Harvests, 1st press Beatles, Pink Islands and loads of other rarities! 

They are mostly in near perfect condition with my dad putting most on tape in the 80’s, then once again onto CD in the 90’s, and since they have been sat unplayed and always in plastic covers! , so stay tuned if you’re interested in some good old rare wax!
