VAN MORRISON - ASTRAL WEEKS - FIRST PRESSING
I'm Selling My Collection: From 1970 - 1983 I was a rock critic in the UK and US - Sounds, NME, CREEM, Rolling Stone, etc. - and wrote major pieces on the Stones, Jimmy Page, Queen, Bowie, Patti Smith, and in 1976 chronicled the first year of Punk. [It's all here: http://jonh-ingham.blogspot.co.uk/]. Somewhere in the middle I did PR at EMI and Island. In 1977 I managed Generation X and in 1980 the Go-Gos. I've run a club, been a DJ, ran labels...All the time, I collected records. Now I'm selling them.
EVERY RECORD & CD I LIST IS MINE - 99% of the time I got them when they were released. I really took care of them - I had a great stereo and a Shure V-15 cartridge. I did my best to keep everything in perfect condition - not easy with some of the flimsy cardboard used for covers.
There's a lot of bs on eBay hyping up how rare the seller's records are and how perfect the condition is. I describe these records as honestly as I can. The discs are inspected in daylight. Please use the Zoom function on the photos to check for yourself.
ABOUT THIS RECORD:
On offer is a RARE US FIRST PRESSING of this classic LP. WS 1768 on the classic green WB Warner label. Released in November 1968, I bought this in early 1969. I can still remember the first time I listened to it.
Overall condition is excellent. The disc glows with beautiful quality vinyl. It's in the original inner sleeve. The cover is in excellent condition with only the usual ring wear from other albums rubbing against it on the record shelf.
Matrix numbers: A - B1 / B - B1
CONDITION:
Record is 100%. No marks, no scratches. Perfect labels with no spindle wear.
Cover is 90-95%. Beautiful thick cardboard. No marks. Some minor wear on the corners. The spine is perfect. Some ring wear from storage. Check it under the Zoom feature in the photos.
Inner sleeve is 100%. No slits or marks or tears.
I had a really good stereo and cartridge and it was only played on that system - records were cleaned before each play.
I am selling other Van Morrison LPs. Check my listings.
