Immaculate and super rare original UK stereo copy of the seminal Sixties soundtrack for Antonioni's Blow Up.  An absolute corker. Yes we know that US copies and various reissues are ten-a-penny, but you try to find an original EMI pressed UK copy.  The odds are that you won't, at least not in the condition we like.  I know because it took me forever to find this. I'm very fussy and careful with all my records so this one still looks unplayed.  So top NM.  1G/1A stampers.  The record has been stored in a new lined inner but the original unlined EMI inner is present and NM.  The half laminated flipback G&L jacket is NM but for tiny wear to the tips.  You'll not find a better copy.

Just for the hell of it, here is the list of personnel that I also tracked down many years ago.  Nice to see a few Brits in the band.

Herbie Hancock: piano, arrangement, conductor

Freddie Hubbard, Joe Newman, Ian Carr: trumpets

Phil Woods: alto sax

Joe Henderson, Don Rendell: tenor sax

Paul Griffin, Gordon Beck: organ

Jim Hall: guitar 

Ron Carter: bass

Jack DeJohnette: Drums

The purge of the collection continues..... a varied batch this week.

Check my other listings, my feedback, and bid with confidence.  Any reserves are realistic.  Good luck!

Regular clients will know that I keep my descriptions brief and to the point.  If you are looking, I figure you will know what you are looking at.  I would not presume to condescend nor would I wish to bore you to death with unnecessary hype.  Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH cart and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.

GRADINGS:

MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny.  Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. Jacket is as close to perfect.

EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny.  Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.

Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won?t be finding any for sale here.

I DO NOT USE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME

Recorded Delivery world-wide shipping for security and peace of mind. Discounted postage for multiple purchases.  Shipping is always at cost, including packing materials.

I ensure that my records arrive with you in the same lovely condition they leave me, carefully packed in secure professional wraps with sheet polystyrene and cardboard packing.  Shipping costs reflect packaging.  I do not use bits of old cardboard box or those cheap flimsy envelope style mailers.

Records are always packed out of their jackets. 

I don?t like to say this, but if you cannot pay, please do not bid.
