ATTENTION PINK FLOYD,HARVEST LABEL AND 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC COLLECTORS+CONDITION UPGRADERS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 STEREO ITALIAN ISSUE OF THE ESSENTIAL LP BY PINK FLOYD:"MEDDLE".

  DIFFERENT FONTS AND CATALOGUE NUMBER TO THE UK ONE SO ONE FOR THE PINK FLOYD FANATIC COLLECTOR AS WELL AS ANYONE WHO WANTS A TOP SOUNDING COPY FROM A RELIABLE SELLER!

THE GATEFOLD COVER IS VERY CLEAN INDEED!

THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE AROUND 50 YEARS LATER IN ANY DECENT CONDITION ARE SAFELY IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS RELUCTANT TO EVER SELL!

THIS REPRESSING COPY WAS BOUGHT AS AN IMPORT IN 1971 BY THE ONE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO PLAYED HIS LPs ONLY A HANDFULL OF TIMES ON EXCELLENT HI-FI EQUIPMENT RECORDING THEM ON CASSETTES FOR PLAYING DURING HIS TIME IN THE NAVY WITH THE RECORDS KEPT FOR MOST OF THE TIME IN CAREFUL STORAGE AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT A SMOKER SO NO HORRIBLE "SMOKE STINK" AND NO "DAMP SMELL" THAT OFTEN PERMUTATES OLD ALBUM COVERS! THERE IS GREAT MUSICIANSHIP AND SUPERB SOUND PRODUCTION-A VERY WORTHY AND ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO ANY SERIOUS COLLECTION OF 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUMS.

THIS IS A NEAR MINT CONDITION RECORD-VERY STRICTLY GRADED FROM START TO FINISH.MANY WOULD STATE NEAR MINT.OTHER SELLERS WILL STATE A GENERAL GRADING,SOME WILL JUST STATE "GOOD FOR IT'S AGE" OR JUST A VISUAL GRADE.NOT WITH ME SO PLEASE READ ON!

BASED ON MY LONG TERM 34 YEARS AS A DEALER EXPERIENCES AND OVER 18 OF THOSE AS A MAJOR SELLER ON EBAY,YOU WILL NOW READ AN HONEST AND CAREFULLY CHECKED COPY THAT WILL HOPEFULLY COVER ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE DECIDING TO BID ON THIS ONCE IN A BLUE MOON OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS SPLENDID CONDITION! 

THE JET BLACK SURFACES HAVE A LOVELY GLEAM TO THEM AND ARE NOT "DULL" OR SCUFFED AS WITH MANY LPs OF THIS AGE. THERE ARE SOME SMALL AND FAINT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT.

I STRUGGLED TO HEAR MUCH SURFACE NOISE APART FROM THE ODD ISOLATED SOFT POP IN BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS,HOWEVER THE DISC HAS VERY CLEAR SOUND INDEED WITH NO DISTORTION,NO LOUD CLICKS AND OF COURSE NO STICKS AND NO JUMPS/SKIPS.LOTS OF BASS AND A WARMTH AND DEPTH THAT IS LACKING ON SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED.

I HAVE LISTENED TO IT TWICE  BEFORE LISTING TO BE SURE I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING ON DECENT EQUIPMENT WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND NO FILTERING TO HEAR ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DESCRIBED.

IT  WILL BE A HIGHLIGHT IN YOUR CLASSIC 1970s ROCK COLLECTION. 

PLEASE EXAMINE THE CLOSE UP PHOTOS OF THE LABELS WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR FADING-JUST A FEW STAINING SPOTS. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR-I DO NOT "TOUCH IN" OR "INK IN" LIKE SOME SELLERS!

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES PAPER INNER SLEEVE.

 THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS,SPLITS OR REPAIRS! I WOULD SAY IT IS FAR BETTER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! PLEASE ZOOM IN AND SEE EVERY POSSIBLE DETAIL!

THE STARTING PRICE OF £10 IS ACTING AS THE RESERVE WITH NO OFFERS ALTHOUGH BE PREPARED FOR LAST MINUTE BIDDING AS SO OFTEN THE CASE. THERE IS NO BUY IT NOW OPTION ON THIS RECORD.

MY PACKING WILL BE SOLID WITH THICK CARD AND AN ADDITIONAL RECORD TO ALLOW FOR SAFE ARRIVAL.SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR MANY GREAT COMMENTS!

I REGRET THAT I WILL NOT POST TO THIS RECORD TO MEXICO OR BRAZIL DUE TO THE RISKS OF LOSS IN THOSE COUNTRIES ERRATIC POSTAL SYSTEM.

BIDDERS WITH NO FEEDBACK WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BID.

THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED FOR ANY QUESTIONS BUT DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME VIA EBAY MESSAGES AND I WILL REPLY AS SOON AS I CAN.

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!!!!
