KEVIN AYERS, "Joy of A Toy", UK 1969 HARVEST ORIGINAL!

Welcome to my auction for a rare copy of: 

JOY OF A TOY 

BY

KEVIN AYERS

This album comes from a superb private collection owned by a serious record collector.  This album is normally very hard to source and to find a first press copy in this condition represents a very rare opportunity. 

Label: EMI HARVEST

Cat. No: SHVL 763

Year of Original Release: 1969

Year of this issue: 1969

Grading (Vinyl first) VG+/VG+

Matrices: SHVL 763 A1   SHVL 763 B1

Sleeve description:  The E.J.Day laminated gatefold picture sleeve is in very good+ condition. The spine is slightly flattened, squashing the print and there are some small laminate creases. There is a scratch in the laminate at the centre top of the front cover. There is a little wear at the open edge although the top and bottom edges are in excellent order. The colours remain vibrant and the cover is clean and fresh.

Inner sleeve:  White paper inner, with patent number, believed to be original; has some marking.

Vinyl description:  The vinyl is visually in very good condition. There are quite a lot of surface marks and some light hairlines visible under the inspection light but these do not cause any jumps, clicks or pops. 

Audio description:  The audio quality is graded critically as very good+, although not far from excellent.  There is a patch of static on one track, "Girl on a Swing" and occasional isolated static traces elsewhere, although these are not overly distracting. The flaws are relatively minor and generally, the audio is superb, clear and vibrant. There are NO jumps, NO pops, NO sticks.

Labels: Very good; very little spindle wear but there is a little smudging.
