	£		40
	$		53

Welcome to my auctions - from Piedrogee:

This week we have a stunning collection of very rare & seldom seen LPs for sale and many in top collectors condition.

Apologies of some of the camera photos are slightly blurry, that’s just me and my camera & the lighting not getting along that day. 

Some LPs may have a slight reflection of condensation from the window, that of course is not on the vinyl or sleeve. 
Please refer to the detailed grading in the notes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTIST:  John Coltrane

TITLE:  A LOVE SUPREME

LABEL:  IMPULSE ORIGNAL ISSUE AS-77 STEREO USA ISSUE LP

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SLEEVE GRADE:  A decent VG+  Front face photo is clean with only very minor shelf rubs not instantly visible, spine
and seams are intact & without marks, apart from a 2" beginning of a bottom seam split on one gatefold where the disc naturally rests.  Spine artist text is clear and legible, reverse is very clean, just a bit of lamination lift and minor peeling near
the opening (back only). Inner Gatefold and photo / text is clean and hasn't browned, but there is a paper split on the inner spine, see photo, nothing bad.  Generally very nice.   Original inner sleeve too, but has seam splits.

VINYL GRADE:  VG+ the LP retains it's gloss, plays cleanly without major distractions, it has quite a few superficial lines
and a fair few small wispy scratches and light scuffs that do not affect badly.   On very close inspection and under a bright light there are various tiny small surface scratches.   Visual grade for me would be just VG+.   But, this is a very acceptable play copy, not much distraction, maybe a light tick but not many at all, and you may hear some light crackle inbetween tracks or in the more
sparse parts.   Not for a mint purist but a very acceptable play to my ears and the beauty of the listen is not affected.

Please ask if you require clarification on any aspect of the grading.

Both labels are clean, (Ornang Labels) there are no notceable spindle marks on the labels.   Original inner.

NOTES:   Essential Music.   Stereo. VAN GELDER Stamp in run out.  Not a reissue.

increased fee, apologies but we have encountered too many problems with despatching to this country.
