LISTEN BEFORE BIDDING
Listen to the whole record before bidding (audio is not visible or playable on mobile apps).

This is Rainbow 'Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow' UK LP on the Oyster label from 1975.  The cover is still in excellent condition with some light creasing and scuffing.  The labels are in excellent condition with signs of spindle marks.  The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The vinyl looks very good, bright and clean with light surface/sleeve removal marks.  Playback is superb with virtually no surface noise except some light crackle/clicks in places.  If you are intending to make a bid please play and listen to the audio of the record to judge for yourself.

NOTE (PLEASE READ): I have listed a nice batch of rock/metal records which the majority are graded at VG.  Most of these records although having some surface marks still playback EX with little surface noise but some of them do have noticeable clicking in places.  Please bear this in mind when bidding.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
