Description

I am in the process of de-cluttering my house and sadly it is time to dispose of several hundred classic LPs. These all date from the mid 60s to the 80s.

All my LPs will have been played at least once and some of them several times. They have however been properly looked after and stored over the years and I am only listing LPs which play to a high quality. Each LP has been played in full prior to listing so my assessment is of the whole record, not just a few samples. My assessments of the quality of the vinyl, sound reproduction and sleeve are based on the widely accepted Record Collector definitions.

All albums are sent first class in the UK and are bubble wrapped and then sealed in specialist hard card packaging specifically designed for LPs. Discounts are available for multiple purchases - please contact me for details.

Postage and packing are: £3 to UK; £4 to Europe; £6 worldwide.

I prefer payment by PayPal but will accept personal cheques, subject to the cheque clearing before the goods are dispatched.

This copy of Steve Gibbons' 1971 LP "Short Stories" is a UK pressing on the Wizard label - catalogue number SWZA 5501. The album is in excellent condition and all the tracks play perfectly with only minor crackle or other surface noise. The vinyl has very few superficial surface marks, certainly nothing out of the ordinary for an LP of this age and nothing which affects the quality of playback. The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition with virtually no creasing and only minor scuffing along the edges. The lettering on the spine is clear. It also comes with an insert lyric sheet (see picture). I had a friend who ran a record shop thirty years ago and he was always trying to buy this off me then, so I presume it's rarer than most!!

Tracks are:

Side One:

1. Leader of the band

2. Now you're leaving

3. The last farewell

4. One of those days

5. Alright now

Side Two:

1. You've gotta pay

2. Bye bye buffalo

3. Brown girl

4. Until she comes home
