The records i am listing, and will be in coming months are from a private collection lovingly built up, and cared for, by an avid fan music fan and vinyl lover. They mostly span the 60's. 70's and early 80's  and represented are heavy rock classics, prog rock and blues- rock classics , major artists early pressings from Led Zeppelin, Hendrix,  Free, Dire Straits, Yes , Deep Purple and many others including a number of rarities.  Each has been catalogued and stored in a way designed to preserve their condition. They have been played but many are  near mint/ Ex although clearly each album is/will be individually graded according to the guidelines below and unless otherwise stated will be played through prior to listing. Please see pictures and descriptions below for more details of individual aspects.

Overall excellent copy of classic King Crimson 'compilation double album from 1975 and an original pressing. Please see the pictures and descri[ptions below for details.
Vinyl: Ex, there is a surface mark on side 1 ( see close up picture) that doesn't affect play. All sides retain a good lustre and only faintest hairlines on all sides bar the mark referred to. Plays well throughout each side 

Cover: Ex. Gatefold and all intact  and clean etc and only lightest sign of shelf wear. There is a sticker 'residue/mark' to top front right of cover. 

Label:  Ex on all sides, please see close ups 

Inner Sleeves: original black paper inners
Booklet: The original booklet looks ununsed and is in Ex condition - contains a wealth of facts/figures and general trivia about the band over the years up to the album's release - a must have reference guide !

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint; EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing; VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable; GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc; FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced; POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing; BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
