Ten Years After "A Space In Time" 1971 Near Mint Vinyl LP (Columbia KC 30801)

"Tell Me Where Is Sanity?" from "I'd Love To Change The World" seems most appropriate for what is going on right now. This album has definitely aged well!! I haven't played it in decades and forgot how good Alvin Lee and Ten Years After really were!

This is another of my albums in fantastic condition. I just played it to check for imperfections - there are none! No surface scratches. Any background noise is a result of the original pressing. Some labels were better than others. Columbia's vinyl pressings were okay, but not great. However, nothing gets in the way of the music listening experience. This great vinyl LP is in Near Mint condition, with the cover in excellent condition.

As an audiophile, I took care of all my albums and always used a disc cleaner before spinning them (still do). I only single played my albums and never multi-stacked them on the turntable. The albums were always put back into their jackets after playing them. As a result, all albums I put up for sale are of very good, excellent or near prime condition.

All the albums I am putting up for sale are my own and mostly date from 1974 to 1988. Since I periodically had roommates in the old days, I had a tendency to put my name on covers and album labels. Most of the albums that had album art inserts still have the inserts. I wasn’t into putting them up on the wall.

I play each album before listing it to best determine the condition of the album. I will not list an album that is too beat up and worn. Typically, any album I bought before September of 1969 will be suspect because a less than precision turntable was used. Between 1969 and 1974, I had a pretty good Sylvania stereo system and turntable. Any album purchased in 1974 or later was played on a top of the line Dual 1229 turntable teamed up with a great sound system. I still have the system, the 1229 and a Micro Acoustic needle and cartridge that work great. As such, the post 1974 albums are mostly in very good to excellent to primo playing condition.

If you are interested in collecting some great vinyl, I have a few hundred excellent discs, some with amazing “presence of sound” that you sure won’t experience with ear pods (i.e., Elton John’s first Greatest Hits album, Procol Harem’s Grand Hotel, Linda Ronstadt’s Heart Like A Wheel). I’ve always had eclectic tastes and my interests include a wide spectrum of artists and musical types. My collection includes folk, rock, folk rock, jazz, new age, and classical. So, if you are looking for great old albums that were not exactly “Top 40” radio tunes, then you should periodically follow me and check out the albums I put up for auction or sale. You can bid with confidence knowing that I am passing along my personal collection.

All albums are shipped in album mailers via USPS Media Mail.

Thanks for looking.
