Description

Original 1969 recording (no “EMI” box on label). Owned by me from new, shortly after seeing Kevin Ayers and The Whole World at my first “progressive” gig. The vinyl has some crackle and pops noticeable in quieter sections, but plays well with excellent sound quality. Attached video was recorded with a mobile phone so not representative of real life quality, but does reflect the degree of crackle, etc in quieter sections.

Sleeve has marks in the laminate near the spine, wear to the corners, and some ring wear on back of cover. Inner gatefold is in excellent condition. Labels in good condition with no spindle marks. See photos.

I rate as “VG+” for both record and sleeve.

UK sales only please.
