Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

SHVL 804

1973

SHVL 804 – A2   5 GRR

SHVL 804 – B2   4 GGG

Side 1 has a couple of fine scratches and a handful of very faint surface marks, Side 2 has a cloudy patch (I suspect heat damage) on the edge of the record that is slightly on the start of Track 1 (see playtest below), apart from that there a 4 fine scratches and a couple of very faint surface marks, Both sides have some extremely faint sleeve removal traces under strong artificial light. Both sides do still have a nice shine. Sold as a collection filler due to  the edge of side 2. No returns on this record.

PLAYTESTED fully and the actual Audio is Wonderful, its strong and vibrant all the way through with no sticks, jumps or skips with No Lessening In Sound Quality. As with most copies of this solid prism LP, it plays with some static which is noticable through the quiet parts and quiet tracks but not as noticable during the louder tracks.

Side 1 has light static/crackle and some light clicks throughout, this is less noticable as the music kicks in but is still there. No skips, sticks or jumps.

Side 2 has the cloudy patch as mentioned above, this causes a skip from the start of the run in to the start of track 1, there are then a couple more skips then a couple of shhh noises each rotation then it plays without any further issues (It starts playing with no further skips before the vocals start). There is light static again in quiet parts and a few light clicks and a tiny skip half way through us and them, but no other skips, sticks or jumps.

Please Note, This Has been stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean which often can reduce or even remove the background static but it is sold as uncleaned and as described. Sold as a collection Filler with the above mentioned damage and no return will be accepted on this record. If you don't mind some background and clicks and the mentioned skips don't bother you then this is for you because the actual audio is still strong and vibrant.

This original solid prism issue had a pressing fault on many copies that led to a skip 
on the track "Money" - this copy plays through with no skips.

Labels are free from damage, there are some spiders legs under strong light, Side 1 label has some faint age spots/marks...see photos.
