ATTENTION LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1973 1ST PRESSING OF THE LYNYRD SKYNYRD ALBUM: "PRONOUNCED LEH-NERD SKIN-NERD" INCLUDING THE FULL LENGTH VERSION OF THE CLASSIC TRACK:"FREE BIRD" WHICH HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES,42 YEARS AGO,FAILING TO CHART IN THE UK AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE EVENTUALLY THEY WOULD GET APPRECIATED IN THE UK IN THE MID-1970s WHEN THIS LP WAS REISSUED.DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN 42 YEARS.

EMI PRESSED MCA MCG 3502 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1/B-1 MATRIXES AND HOUSED IN THE EMI RECORDS INNER SLEEVE AND THE GATEFOLD COVER HAVING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE CODE 7401(JANUARY 1974) DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1974 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE. NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS. THE RECORD ITSELF STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! THICK VINYL. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT.

THE COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES  BUT NO WRITING,STAINING OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
