Description

I'm starting to list a collection of about 200 lps and 45s put together by my wife between about 1969 and 1984. Few of these have been played more than 2 or 3 times as, generally, they were recorded to tape and then put away. About 75% are in Near Mint store bought condition and look as if they've just been purchased. They were usually bought within a few days of being issued so, not only are they in pristine condition, they're mostly first pressings. Plus the lps all have their original inner sleeves and any inserts. The collection has remained untouched in a cupboard at my wife's parents house since she moved out and got married in 1984. If I find any blemishes or faults with any of these records I will point them out. Even the slightest shelf wear is absent from many. If you require additional photos of anything please let me know.

This is a copy of the  LP In In The Wake Of Poseidon By King Crimson, first UK pressing from 1970 on Island ILPS 9127.

The stamped matrix no.s are  ILPS 9127  A  //  1   and  ILPS 9127  B  //  1

The vinyl is in Near Mint condition with just a few very faint paper lines, but these are confined to the dead wax. Nothing to affect play.The labels are clean with no stickers, writing, scuffs, spindle marks or stains.

The textured gatefold cover, printed by E. J, Day group, London and Bedford, is in Excellent condition. There are no tears, stains, creases, stickers or writing. The spine is perfectly legible. The only blemishes are some slight loss of colour along the bottom edges and tiny scuffs to the cormers 

The white poly-lined inner sleeve just has the usual faint browning / ageing to the edges. There is a number code  B  1 / 0470  which (I think) indicates April 1970.

, a very nice copy of a 42 year old record.

Comes from a smoke free home.

I ship in purpose-made strong cardboard mailers and I'm happy to combine multiple purchases in one parcel to save on shipping costs.
