Sale provides a unique and exceedingly rare opportunity, for beginners and established collectors of rare vinyl alike, to acquire an unplayed copy of This Was by Jethro Tull. Released in the mid-1970's, by Chrysalis, as a reissue of their 1968 album of the same name, this stereo Long Play, near mint vinyl record, with near mint gatefold sleeve, liner bag and insert, was acquired by the seller whilst working in London during the late 1970's. Purchased new by the seller, this record has never been played since acquisition. Visually, the playing surface of the record is unblemished, as anyone wishing to finally play this rare LP would soon discover. Having been stored for many years, together with other rare records currently for sale on ebay and now forming part disposal of my own vast library of original 7" and 12" singles, EP's and albums, accumulated over many years, this is a reluctant sale of a truly treasured possession and a one-off opportunity to acquire this must-have addition to any seriously advanced vinyl record collection. Sale provides a golden opportunity for any fans of Tull, or indeed, anyone wishing to acquire original rock memorabilia, or just generally interested in the music of the 1960/70's. The starting price for this auction reflects the condition of the disc, original gatefold sleeve, liner bag and insert, which, other than minimal handling wear to the outer sleeve, are in terrific condition. So don't delay, start bidding, as I am confident that this rare and highly collectable album will not last very long. A great item  and a real gem.
