PETER BARDENS - THE ANSWER
Sparingly played and in overall great condition 1970 UK 1st press underrated prog/psych gem
Excellent (EX) condition vinyl - completely flat, weighty and retaining it's original and impressive jet black sheen. Little marked and it is only with close inspection under a bright light that some occasional very, very light paper scuffing, and just a couple of extremely faint scuff lines, can be identified on each side - each non-obvious, surface only and nothing to impinge upon the brilliant STEREO sound quality. Excellent plus (EX+) condition labels : if you look very closely it is possible to detect just a few very small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each label - otherwise perfect. Very good plus (VG+) condition fully laminated outer sleeve with firm edges and only a single 1cm light scuff mark on the bottom edge, a firm 1st press "nipped" ends spine with all spine text remaining perfectly intact, and each corner remaining an almost perfectly defined right angle with barely any rubbing. All the colours, art work, photos and text remain in great condition, and the only blemishes are some minor vertical laminate lifting adjacent to the spine edge on both sides and some minor laminate surface creasing towards the bottom edge on the front side and towards the bottom corners on the reverse side. Truly excellent (EX) stereo audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, distortion, interference or background crackle. Crystal clear sound quality throughout with each and every track remaining a great listen. Comes with original plain white die-cut inner sleeve with no side splits, barely any creasing and just some slight age discolouration next to the side edges.. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original. A very impressive 1970 UK 1st press copy of this underrated prog/psych rarity, with the sound quality being a real highlight.
POSTAGE COSTS :

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.

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
