Hello there.  I'm selling my much loved vinyl collection that I've accumulated over the last 60 years because we have moved house and simply don't have the room anymore.  This vinyl is in EXCELLENT PLUS condition.  This was bought brand new and has been extremely well looked after, although general wear and tear of the record sleeve comes with the age (if there are any minor scuffs to the record sleeve, they are illustrated in the photographs).  The sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition.  I would like it to go to a good home.

For multiple buys, this is the general rule of thumb for UK bidders:
International buyers - please message me for more info.

1 - 2 vinyl                 £3.99
3 - 4 vinyl                 £4.99
5 - 6 vinyl                 £5.99
7 - 8 vinyl                 £6.99
9 - 50 vinyl               £9.99

These prices can obviously vary due to the weight of each album, but it's a good guideline.

All actions will run their course, just let me know when you're all done bidding/winning and I'll send you an invoice with reduced P&P.

Any questions, please ask away. . .

Notes

Original UK release, black and white labels.

Recorded at: The Manor/Autumn 1972 Spring 1973.
"In Glorious Stereophonic Sound.
Can also be played on mono-equipment at a pinch."

"This stereo record cannot be played on old tin boxes no matter what they are fitted with. If you are in possession of such equipment please hand it to the nearest police station."

At the time the recording was made at The Manor studio, some of the recording equipment wasn't properly shielded, so the carrier wave (or Morse code) transmission from GBR (the nearby Rugby transmitter) was recorded on the master tape - possibly without the audio engineer's knowledge! This is quite low in frequency & quite inaudible unless you have suitable Hi-Fi equipment.

℗ 1973 Virgin Records.
Distributed by Island and E.M.I.
Address: 130 Notting Hill Gate, London, W.11
