As follows:
Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other.
B&C Charisma CAS 1007.
UK Stereo Pressing from 1970, with textured 'pink scroll' labels, and original poster.
Matrices are as follows:
CAS 1007 A+G CAS 1007 B+G
Condition Vinyl: G+/G+
I have listened to the entirety of this album, and no skips or jumps on my NAD turntable, with medium weight.
However, there are pops and crackle mainly Side One for first minute (Darkness), and then at the Coda of Track 1, into the beginning of Track 2. Track 2 (Refugees) plays very well. Again some pops between Tracks 2 and 3. Track 3 (White Hammer) again plays very well, nice and clear with virtually no distortion, a series of three pops near the end of this track and some light crackle.
Side Two has two loud pops and some crackle on the intro to the first track, and a few further sequences of crackle. Some more pops and crackle between the sax and guitar breaks near the end of Track 1 ('Robert). Track 2 (Out of My Book) has a sequence of quiet ticks near the beginning, for about 20 seconds, but the rest of the track plays very well, with no audible issues. Track 3 (After The Flood) has a series of pops and ticks about half way through (in a quiet passage) for about 20 seconds, and a few isolated clicks to the end of the LP.
A good playable copy, but not audiophile quality, please bear this in mind.
Would benefit from a professional clean, and maybe some cleaning solution (but be careful what you use).
Condition Sleeve: VG
The rather flimsy matt gatefold sleeve in pretty decent shape, but lots of creases, some ring wear; and edge and corner bangs. A sticker has been removed from Rear of sleeve at the Top Right, the adhesive makes the appearance of the residue brown in colour (photographed).
Condition Poster: Good+
Lots of creases and wear at the folds; and a part has been worn away such that the text is illegible (photographed). Also, some of the text of the first and last letters of the band name at bottom of the poster has worn away (V and R).
Please note that this is the original poster. There are counterfeits circulating of this poster, The Who 'Sell Out'. Black Sabbath 'Four' and Pistols 'Never Mind' have been reproduced, but are not always sold as reproductions. The paper gauge, quality and colour is much different.
The inner sleeve is a plain die cut one, which is discoloured (it looks original; and I believe it is), it is similar to a lot of other B&C LP inners from this era I have seen.
There is a very minor flatness deviation, but the LP plays fine, and is not a warp, the deviation is very minimal, as with lots of LPs, but I thought it should be mentioned.
Record Collector Price Guide grading system used.
I have taken close up photographs of this LP in case it gets 'damaged' or 'warped' in transit, and is returned in a totally different condition to which it was sent.
FREE UK POSTAGE.
