Kevin Ayers
Joy Of A Toy
VG+(+)/VG+
US 1969
Harvest Records - SKAO 421
Kevin Ayers was with The Wilde Flowers that formed in Canterbury, England. He and drummer Robert Wyatt left this band to form The Soft Machine with Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper to great success. They toured the states opening for Jimi Hendrix and recorded their first LP in New York.
Kevin was known to depart to sunny beaches flowing with wine whenever success seemed on the horizon, so he left for Spain and the Soft Machine broke apart. Kevin began writing songs and the result was this first LP.
Musically, its whimsical psych, jazz and prog. A great LP for the times.
This is the original US version of the UK album. One of the first released on the Harvest label (along with Ummagumma by Pink Floyd). There is no EMI label logo.
Gatefold cover has some minor shelf, edge and corner wear with some slight sticker residue. Record has some sleeve marks and minor scuffs with some visual hairlines, but it plays VG++ or better throughout. Generic inner sleeve.
This one should be in every psych collection.
I was Ina-Gadda-Da-Records.
Long time buyer from E-bay and other record websites since the 90's.
Please bear with me. I'm selling off my entire record collection (about 40,000 LPs) listing them one at a time.
A long and arduous task. Lots of gems and rare stuff.
Check out The Psychedelic Digest.
Auctions are listed for 7 days.
All records are conservatively Graded to GOLDMINE Standards and are rated VINYL FIRST / THEN COVER. For double LPs Vinyl / Vinyl / Cover. I will visually grade both sides of vinyl and play grade if I see unusual flaws. Covers will be visually graded. Plenty of pictures for any records that are high end items.
LPs will be packaged in the proper corrugated cardboard box, we all know about, with extra cardboard pads. Each LP will have a clear plastic sleeve. The record itself will be removed and shipped within the sleeve separate from the cover to prevent any seam splits. The vinyl record will NOT be removed from a sealed LP purchase for shipping.
Payment is due within 7 days unless you let me know. If payment has NOT been received within the 7-day payment period and you have NOT contacted me, the record will be relisted.
I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE, BUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS DETERMINED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE PACKAGE. DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE.
If you have won an auction and see another item that ends beyond the 7-day maximum payment period, let me know and I will hold your item until that bid period ends. This would be a special circumstance that would not extend beyond 10 days. I will invoice you for the full amount and expect payment at that point.
Typically, USA Media mail would be 1-2 LPs- $5.00 USD. Canada $23.00 USD. Europe around $30.00 USD for 1-2 LPs. Additional LPs as per total weight. I will send an invoice with total postage cost.
I can combine the shipping but will only send a maximum of 10 records per package. Additional postage will be determined by total weight of the package. An invoice will be sent to you.

I will Refund for any item purchased and received that was not fully as described. Grading is the usual cause of concern here. We're talking used and 30-50 years old. There are no perfect records, even sealed records can have flaws. If there is a concern, please contact me.
Any returns will be posted at the buyer's cost. If necessary, I will only refund the original purchase price.
