My listings will include rare and not so rare but as vinyl is in such demand these days I'll be covering the whole spectrum, as I firmly believe there is a market for everything (NO musical snobbery !!). All records have been sourced ,by extensive advertising, from private collections, and are not from shoddy wholesale job lots. I've a huge stock of records at the moment so if there is anything you are looking for drop me an email. Rest assured, MINT means MINT (no marks/no scratches/no spindle marks/faultless vinyl/faultless sleeve)....and I'm not afraid to use the term VERY GOOD which, incidentally, does not mean trashed !!!! I'll be continually listing some great stuff so keep an eye out. 

ALL records have been cleaned on my OKKI NOKKI Record Cleaning Machine.

AND REMEMBER, MOST IMPORTANTLY, VINYL IS FOR PLAYING !!!!!!

EARLIEST FIRST PRESSING.

EXCELLENT CRISP PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE signed by all 5 on the rear face (To Alma (OGWT lady) from Graham Nash,Tony Hicks,Allen Clarke,Bobby Elliott and one other I can't make out (help!).

CORRECT SEPIA INNER SLEEVE.

 VINYL BARELY PLAYED.

The majority of these records came from a lady who worked on the Old Grey Whistle Test for years (from the 60s to the 80s) and had these given by the bands who performed on the show....so all the demo's and Factory Sample's are 100% genuine.

CONDITION

SLEEVE

The Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd Patents Pending front laminated flipback sleeve with pinched spine corners is in EXCELLENT condition. A solid,crisp sleeve with only a couple of light edge creases, very slight wear to a couple of the corners , slight top and bottom curve ring wear, a small ding (which has split) in the bottom edge, and a few indentations. There is no edge wear, no grubbiness, no mustiness, no tears, no stickers, no folds, no writing (apart from the all important signatures!), no sellotape, no seam splits, no wear and no softening to the opening edges, and no wear to a near perfect square spine. The unlaminated rear face is very white with only a couple of areas of minor discolouration...the signatures are clearly visible on white section apart from one which is on the dark pic section....the flipbacks are excellent. The sleeve grades EXCELLENT

INNER SLEEVE

The correct EMI sepia advertising inner sleeve has NO seam splits or tears and grades EXCELLENT+++

The record has clearly barely been played....has NO marks or scratches, only a couple of ultra light inconsequential surface scuffs, and only a few of the very lightest sleeve removal scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light. The vinyl grades EXCELLENT++++ and plays with little or no background noise....astonishing really for a 44 year old LP !

LABELS

The labels with the K T Tax Code grade near MINT , with only 2 barely visible spindle marks on each side, with no wear to the spindle holes and no unwanted writing or wear.

PLEASE NOTE: UNLESS NOT NEEDED or THE RECORD IS SEALED....ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED ON AN "OKKI NOKKI RECORD CLEANING MACHINE" using the correct  mix of distilled water and concentrate !!
