Superb excellent plus (EX+) condition vinyl (some would grade as "near mint" I am sure) - flat, weighty and displaying a beautiful jet black sheen. Apart from a single 1.5cm non-obvious and purely superficial wispy surface hairline on side 1 (need to view closely under a bright light to identify and no affect on sound quality at all) it is difficult to identify any marks...perhaps just one or two extremely fine and faint paper scuffs if you look very, very closely but that's it. Amazing!  Excellent plus (EX+) condition labels : close inspection under a bright light reveals some small and very faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each label, but no other blemishes at all. Clearly this is a record that has been played very sparingly, probably just a few times.  Very good plus (VG+) condition original front-side-only laminated outer sleeve (just about as close to being excellent you can be without actually being excellent!).  Firm unscuffed edges with no scuffing, a rigid spine also with no scuffing and all spine text nicely intact, no unwanted writing, no cardboard creasing, no laminate lifting, no open edge fraying, and all art work, colours, text, and reverse side photo in great condition still. There is just a little and very, very mild ring wear on the reverse side, a few non-obvious laminate "crinkles" adjacent and perpendicular to the top, bottom, and spine edges, a 9cm diagonal laminate surface crease towards the bottom right corner (only detectable when the sleeve is held at the right angle in the right light), and each corner remains a nicely defined right anle but there is just a little very mild rubbing on each. Still fully functional and eminently presentable and hard to believe that this outer sleeve is 56 years old!  Superb excellent plus (EX+) - or better - stereo audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, distortion, interference, background crackle or clicking, just a couple of nano-second light static click occurrences on side 1 - no more than you would expect from a brand new record. Crystal clear stereo sound quality throughout with great tone and each and every track remaining a great listen...such an underrated and, at the time of it's original release "under the radar", album. There is complete silence on both sides during the run-in's which is always a sure sign that the record has been well looked after and sparingly played.  Comes with original plain white "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" inner sleeve with "PATENT..." text - no edge splits, tears or top edge fraying and batrely any creasing or age discolouration either. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.  A rare and sought after 1970 UK 1st press acid/psych folk gem - lovely outer sleeve, terrific stereo sound quality and a brilliant addition to any folk vinyl collection.
POSTAGE COSTS :  For the UK £3.38 using Royal Mail tracked 48 (ebay's "simple delivery"); for continental Europe £11 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked, and for the rest of the world £17 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked. I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. If this record interests you then take a look at my other listings for more 60's and 70's classic vinyl.A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item.
