ATTENTION MARY HOPKIN,PAUL McCARTNEY,THE BEATLES,APPLE LABEL AND 1960s GIRL SINGERS  COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1972 1ST GERMAN PRESSING OF A RARELY SEEN ALBUM BY MARY HOPKIN:"THE BEST OF MARY HOPKIN" INCLUDING SOME TRACKS PRODUCED BY PAUL McCARTNEY. 

 HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE AND THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER.  THE VINYL IS STILL THICK WITH VERY CLEAN LABELS- MUCH DARKER APPLE LABELS AND THICKER VINYL THAN LATER APPLE LPs.  THIS  ALBUM RARELY TURNS UP IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OR INDEED ANY CONDITION. 

 THE COVER IS CLEAN WITH NO STAINING,SPLITS,TEARS OR WRITING BUT THERE ARE SOME TINY EDGE CREASES.  MOST BUYING LPs IN THE EARLY 1970s WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY INDEED.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 COPY HAS HAD VERY CAREFUL USE IN NEARLY 48 YEARS!  LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1972 1ST GERMAN 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 SOME CAREFUL USE WITH SOME LIGHT,MOSTLY VERY FAINT SURFACE MARKS AND ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE AT HIGH VOLUME. NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS. THE 1972 1ST GERMAN PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REISSUES.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION. THICK VINYL.THERE ARE CLEAN LABELS-HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!   PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH OF THE LABELS!

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!!!!
