Description

WISHBONE ASH - " ARGUS " , MCA Records (MDKS 8006), STEREO, UK Pressing, 1971.

Very rare first English issue of the landmark album by Wishbone Ash... this is the extremely rare 1st pressing with the gatefold sleeve, original inner sleeve, plus maxtrix numbers which end in A-1/B-1 denoting the very first run off the press.

This record has been professionally cleaned on my Moth cleaning machine (Note: after cleaning such a record, I do not have the heart to put it back in it's original sleeve so I have put the cleaned record in a new inner and included the original so it is still complete).




CONDITION:

VINYL  =  EXCELLENT (Although the vinyl looks unblemished under normal daylight conditions, under my bright grading lamp I can just make out a couple of incredibly faint surface marks, most probably just as a result of the LP being taken in and out of it's inner sleeve and neither correspond directly to any audible defects.
NO big scratches, groove damage, distortion, excessive surface noise, etc. Both labels are clean with only very light spindle trails. On playback, it plays strongly without distortion and it clearly has had relatively few spins - the clean labels with just the very lightest of spindle trails support this.
Whilst this LP falls just short of "museum piece" status, in the real world it is a genuinely excellent copy which plays clearly and loudly and without interuptions.

Note: for the testing/grading of this record, I have used my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable, which is generally quite critical although I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP (or others I have for sale) will sound on your turntable - sorry to be so uptight, but I have met some very silly people on ebay over the years!)

SLEEVE  =  EXCELLENT (NO rips, tears, defacing, big creases, etc. All I have marked it down for is a very small crease in the lamination along the spine - see photo for more detailed info!)



NOTE: It's probably worth pointing out that we are an actual long standing physical shop and soundtrack-specialist mail order firm with literally decades of record trading experience under our collective belts and unlike so many of the jokers and have-a-go heroes that currently clog up ebay, we know how to grade records (often an excellent LP from us will surpass a less reputable seller's so-called mint items). Please don't just go on gradings either, read my descriptions carefully and make a sensible bid accordingly and if you have any queries about an LP I am selling, please get in touch in good time before the end of the auction and I will do my very best to assist. Feel free to check out my feedback for more detailed accounts of our past items sold.


HAPPY BIDDING!
