ATTENTION PRINCE COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1978 USA ISSUE OF THE PRINCE ALBUM:"FOR YOU". THIS WAS HIS FIRST LP WHICH DID NOT HAVE A UK ISSUE AT THE TIME AND ALSO FAILED TO MAKE THE USA TOP 100 ALBUM CHART ONLY REACHING USA#163 AND AS SUCH WAS A VERY POOR SELLER WITH MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP BEING THE LATER REPRESSES NOT USING THE "BURBANK DRIVE" DESIGN WHICH WAS ENDED BY THE END OF 1978-WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF THIS LP BEING ISSUED!
USA WARNER BROTHERS WITH THE USUALLY MISSING SPECIAL PHOTO AND INFORMATION INNER SLEEVE. IT VERY RARELY TURNS UP IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AS IN THIS EXAMPLE!.DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER! THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY HAD VERY CAREFUL USE IN OVER 39 YEARS! LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES.JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.THE RECORD HAS NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! THE COVER STILL HAS MOST OF IT'S SHRINK WRAP ATTACHED AND THE SPECIAL COVER STICKER.IT HAS A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE LPs FROM ME FOR SET SALE AND AUCTION ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW.CHECK THEM OUT!. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
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!!!!
