Description
Rick Wakeman, Yes, John Anderson Vinyl LP Set X12 Studio Albums.
I thought I would group these as they are connected by the band Yes.
Rick Wakeman albums:
The Six Wives of Henry VIII
Journey to the Centre of the Earth
The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
1984
Cost of Living
I have listened to all of these albums and can say that none of the vinyls skip.
Conditions:
6 wives is only slightly scuffed at the top and bottom of the spine. Aside from that the sleeve is all intact.
Journey to the Centre contains a booklet insert that was once stapled to the inner spine but the staple came loose and the booklet now resides in the bit the vinyl goes. The sleeve is on the face not as good condition but is all intact. The outer spine is very scuffed and on the front where a price sticker once was is a pink outline and a 3x2mm tear.
King Arthur is of similar condition to 6 Wives. It has a beautiful booklet seen in the listing photos, that does have its own pocket in the left hand of the gatefold sleeve. The only fault is that the adhesive that holds the right pocket in place at the bottom, I.e. the bit the record goes in, is now detached. You could glue this back but I don't wish to have a go.
1984 is pretty good condition overall. Just some scuffs the each corner. The inner sleeve doesn't have one of those holes at the bottom where the record has pushed through.
Cost of Living is the worst condition of the 5 LPs. It is taped at the bottom edge. The adhesive on that must have given way at some point. It looks like the vinyl has sawn through the left edge of the outer sleeve. There is a 1.5 inch scuff to the sleeve there. Nevertheless the inner sleeve is great condition. It is a non descript paper inner sleeve so might have been swapped for the actual inner at some point. I think the library sticker is cool which is why I didn't think of peeling that off, but you could peel it off if you want to reveal some surface that hasn't seen the light of day in 40 years!
Jon Anderson albums:
Song of Seven
Olias of Sunhillow
The main issue with the condition of these two is where the line of glue applied to the flaps which hold front and back together has lost grip. Song of Seven is loose at the top edge while Olias of Sunhillow is loose at the bottom edge. I don't like to try mending this issue by regluing, as I think I'd make a mess of it, so I've left it be.
There are no skips on the records having had a listen, and Olias of Sunhillow has a nice booklet type gatefold sleeve with one page to turn over. See photo.
Yes albums:
Fragile
Closer to the Edge
Tormato
Tales from Topographical Oceans
The Yes Album
Condition wise, The Yes Album (not to be confused with the other albums!) has the best condition album cover which is odd as it is the oldest. The others are quite scuffed but the records have no skips and I have listened to them all.
