The records i am listing, and will be in coming months, are from a private collection lovingly built up, and cared for, by an avid fan music fan and vinyl lover. They mostly span the 60's. 70's and early 80's  and represented are heavy rock classics, prog rock and blues- rock classics , major artists early pressings from Led Zeppelin, Hendrix,  Free, Dire Straits, Yes , Deep Purple and many others including anumber of rarities.  Each has been catalogued and stored in a way designed to preserve their condition. They have been played  but remain Ex or VG+  in most cases, clearly each album is/will be graded according to the ebay guidelines below and unless otherwise stated will be played through prior to listing. Please do also view the pictures for further detail and read the descriptions below. 

Overall Condition: VG+/Ex  Great classic blues/rock album from great band. This is a rarer mono copy and a first pressing. I am tempted to grade excellent  given it is 44 years old but I will be conservative. 
I am also listing first press copies of 'A step Further' and 'Looking In'

Cover:  VG+Gatefold sleeve with laminated out/ matt inner and boxed Decca logos  used on first release.  Sleeve including spine  is all solid with little sign of wear bar a little on inner fold lower edge and a few little 'speckles' on front laminate but the colours are bright and whole sleeve feels, looks, great 
Vinyl:  VG+ especially for the age. There are some harlines and paper marks but retains a decent shine and plays well. A little very light static here and there , and the odd pop. or click but very few. The album will not have been cleaned for well over 20 years -if ever other than an emtex cloth when played!
Label:  VG+ labels are clean and look nice, there are some spindle marks but not very noticeable unless under light when tipped.
Inner sleeve: original decca 'mono' sleeve with red edging, a small tear in middle at top on one side and bottom 2 corners have creased as they have been put into the outer sleeve - will 'iron' flat   .
All items graded using the ebay guide as below but please do view the pictures for details and if you wish for any others I will try to respond to request. 
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint; EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing; VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable; GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc; FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced; POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing; BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
All records will be  packed and posted carefully and securely  in reinforced cardboard mailers. Please note I only send internationally as "International tracked/signed for"  for which i charge a flat rate .  If any item is not as you feel it was described please contact me and I  will endeavour to sort out any problems amicably and without hassle.
