Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

Side 1 has only a couple of very faint marks and 2 extremely faint small scuffs, Side 2 has only 3 very small and faint scuffs, No other marks at all. There is the odd extremely light sleeve removal trace under strong artificial light, Super Shiny and for near 45 years old...Stunning Condition.

PLAYTESTED and it plays all the way through with no skips, jumps or sticks. Sits completely flat on the turntable. Audio is Wonderful, Strong and Vibrant with no lessening in sound quality. Plays with some static in the quiet parts and the very occasional click. It has been stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean.

Labels are clean and free from damage, Some spiders legs under strong light and a few fine white 'cracks' from spindle hole on side 1 which was how it was produced...see photos

Earliest Midnight Blue Gatefold Sleeve has a little wear, Front and Back are flat and clean with a little light rubbing near edges, Front has a braille name label stuck top right, a couple of tiny creases from spine edge and a couple of faint indentations when held in the light and a very faint crease left of triangle on the front, Corners have some light wear/bumping. Top and bottom edges have no wear, Spine is solid with hardly any wear, opening edge has some light hardling wear and a couple of slight bumps, Inside is flat, clean and crisp with a little slight rubbing near edges....A Great example of this rare earliest sleeve that is very flimsy and unlaminated. See Photos

Original Inner (black poly lined one) is in Great Condition. No splits or damage and only very light creasing and a white mark on the back.

2 Original Stickers are unused and In Great Condition.

2 Original Posters are in Great condition, no rips or splits.

A Very Rare Earliest 2nd UK Press LP In Stunning condition.


I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?
