NEIL ARDLEY "Symphony Of Amaranths"
REGAL ZONOPHONE UK FIRST PRESS
SLRZ 1028
MINT ARCHIVE COPY

DON RENDELL - IAN CARR - NORMA WINSTONE - IVOR CUTLER

PRO PLAYED ONCE album.. On A Pink Triangle LPT Turntable

PRO CLEANED Due to storage for 35 Years Untouched!!

Stored away by a record company executive nearly 40 years ago,this had never seen the light of day Until the purchase by me..

It is in superb MINT condition and I defy anyone to find a better copy..

This only sold a handful of copies when it was issued (Regal were more interested in the Move,Joe Cocker and Procol Harum and they didn't push it at all)..

It was soon deleted and a copy in ANY condition is tough to find..

This is ONCE PLAYED..It's also a Factory Sample (factory samples were given to high ups in the record industry before the record hit the shops and often before the reviewers and DJ's got a copy)..

It has 1U matrix numbers and is a first press (The stampers are 1G which clearly indicate that this copy was one of the VERY first batch off the press!)..

Issued on Regal Zonophone in 1972..SLRZ 1028..

UK pressing..

The sleeve (it's a non laminated,textured single leaf),grades as EX++...

It has just a hint of discshape both front and back..

It has NO other damage!.

The colours are bright and unfaded,there is MINIMAL age fading to the white,all the edges are straight with no rubbing,the corners are square with minimal wear ..

It really is a TOP condition sleeve,the best I have ever seen (not that this turns up too often!)..

It has no rips or tears,no writing or scribble,no sellotape or tapemarks and no seam splits..

Both sides of the disc look like NEW..

There are no marks,scratches,scuffs or other disfigurements..It is still super clean and shiny with the sheen that only virgin vinyl has!!!...

The labels are undamaged,the text is untarnished and there is NO spindle wear to the areas around the centre holes..This is a really rare album..

The sleeve is in top condition and the disc is played ONCE..

You will never find a copy like this,it really is a once in a lifetime chance..
