Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am selling off my collection of original first pressing vinyl albums to supplement a house move. It's a pity to let them go but the money is needed for essential repairs. I have adopted the Record Collector magazine’s Grading Guide to describe the condition and I have also play-checked each album, so you can be confident about buying. The pictures are also of the actual album you are bidding on.
Overseas bidders are very welcome. (Please see ‘Notes’ below for postage options.)
UK postage for up to 7 disks is just £3.17
Worldwide postage for 1 album is just £6.00

Barcode and Other Identifiers
This is identifiable as the 1969 Stateside first pressing because it bears the catalogue number SSL 5021 and has the orange disc labels. This particular copy is also an early first pressing, both sides being the first cut of the first pressing A1/B1. It is also the version with the misprint on the label of side 1 where track America is listed as (b) instead of (c).
Ref: SSL 5021 (1E 062 o 90764) (Catalog No. SSL 5021 also appears on the disc label)
Matrix / Runout (stamped on side 1) SSL 5021 A-1G 1 3
Matrix / Runout (stamped on side 2) SSL 5021 B-1G 1 2
Condition (using Record Collector Magazine grading)
I have tried to provide good quality large pictures of the album and sleeves. Please take the time to click through them and satisfy yourself of the quality of this LP. The pictures should speak for themselves.
Vinyl = EXCELLENT: The record has only been played once or twice and is very close to being in near mint condition. I would have graded it as near mint, except in bright daylight I can just make out one very faint scratch on side 2. It does not affect playback at all however. I have play-tested the album and sound reproduction is superb, with absolutely no discernible deterioration in sound quality. It’s also a good quality pressing with very little unwanted background noise.
Cover = NEAR MINT: The cover sleeve has been kept in a protective plastic sleeve since new and is in near mint condition with just the slightest rubbing to the leading edge of the cover. The original retailer wrote the word ‘sale’ on the inside edge of the record pocket, but this is not visible.
Notes
I take care to package records properly in rigid cardboard, thereby making every effort to ensure they arrive to you in the same condition that they were sent.

If you would like another service e.g. signed and/or tracked please ask before paying and I will send you an adjusted eBay invoice. I only ever charge at cost with eBay’s 10% commission on top.
