Selling as I already have a copy of this classic LP and sadly need to sell to make space as I have recently moved house.


See photos. Still a nice very playable early copy. I've listed another copy of this classic LP as well! Record will be cleaned before I ship to winning buyer.


If you have any questions please contact me.


Payment by PayPal, cheque or postal order within three days of winning please.


This will be shipped very carefully to the winning bidder.

Check my feedback for peace of mind - it speaks for itself!


Good luck.




About me:

I'm not a dealer, I'm a private seller and a long time collector of vinyl records. I've recently moved to a smaller house and have decided that its time to downsize my large collection.

I am very conservative with grading records and have never knowingly overgraded or sold a faulty item.
