PATTI SMITH - HORSES
1975 UK 1st press art rock beauty, sparingly played with terrific audio throughout
Year/Label : 1975 UK ARISTA Label number : STEREO ARTY 122 Matrix numbers : ARTY 122 A - 1U, ARTY 122 B - 1U Stampers : 1 G / 1 0Truly excellent (EX) condition vinyl - just a few small and very fine scuff marks and the occasional extremely faint paper scuff/wispy hairline - each strictly surface only, purely superficial, and having no impact upon the brilliant sound quality at all. Great condition labels with just a few small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each label. Clearly this is a record that has been sparingly played. The condition of the original UK non-laminated Robert Stace outer sleeve is excellent (EX) - firm unscuffed edges, including a rigid spine where all spine text remains perfectly intact. No edge fraying, no seam splits, no creasing, no discolouration and each corner remaining a near perfect right angle with barely any rubbing at all. There are a couple of very small and barely noticeable handling/storage marks on the reverse side but these are extremely trivial. The audio quality is excellent plus (EX+) with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, interference, distortion or background crackle - very, very impressive, with great tone, and crystal clear instrumentation and vocals! Comes with original and excellent (EX) condition EMI inner sleeve with no seam splits, no opening edge fraying, just a little mild creasing, barely any age discolouration, and remaining fully functional.
Hard to believe that this record is now 49 years of age, with every track remaining a terrific listen.
POSTAGE COSTS :
For the UK £3 using Royal Mail tracked 48 hour;
for continental Europe £12 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked,
and for the rest of the world £16 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked.
I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.
If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.
If this record interests you then take a look at my other listings for more 60's and 70's classic vinyl.
A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
