The records i am listing, and will be in coming months are from a private collection carefully built up, and cared for, by an avid fan music fan and vinyl lover. They mostly span the 60's. 70's and early 80's  and represented are heavy rock classics, prog rock and blues- rock classics , major artists early pressings from Led Zeppelin, Hendrix,  Free, Dire Straits, Yes , Deep Purple and many others including a number of rarities.  Each has been catalogued and stored in a way designed to preserve their condition. They have been played but many are  near mint/ Ex although clearly each album is/will be individually graded according to the guidelines below and unless otherwise stated will be played through prior to listing. Please see pictures and descriptions below for more details of individual aspects.

Overall Condition  Ex

Nice example of Floyd’s 177 offering ‘Animals’  First pressing with earliest matrix numbers and housed in a wide spine gatefold sleeve  (date stamped 7701) , inner cardboard lyric/credits sleeve with rounded corners

Vinyl: Ex  retains a good shine , visually very nice  some hairlines and a couple of paper scuffs which are light and almost certainly come from the Floyd habit of putting vinyl inside card covers - I have now added a generic white paper inner as additional protection)- has a good full sound and makes for good listening

Cover: Ex  Wide spine gatefold  in lovely condition, there is a very light trace of a sticker in top left front cover which can’t be seen unless tipped up into light

Label:  Ex clean  bright with no visible spindle mark, though may find some light ones if placed under strong light

Inner Sleeve: VG+ all fine but graded to reflect a seam split , from edge of the record, which has been neatly repaired with clear tape approx. 6” , shown in picture

" The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint;  The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing;  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable;  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc;  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced;  The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing;  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
