Excellent Gift for the Vinyl Collector!!!!
Have confidence, I'm selling my own personal vinyl collection. 

Most of my LP's remain unplayed and some are 1st pressings. I used to collect vinyl as I worked in a record shop and have hundreds of rare records.
I would urge you to look at my other listings as I have 100's of singles & LP's ranging from the 50's to the 90's in most genre's.

If you wish to purchase more than 1 LP, pop them in your basket and before you pay, request a total from me and I can combine postage for up to 2 LP's for £3.57p. This will save you money! However, this cannot be done after purchase. If, according to Ebay, you use the app, this feature will not be available, you have to use a laptop or decktop!

Please read the vinyl and sleeve grading below, you would be surprised how many do not!

Here we have my own 1st Pressing Copy of The Crusaders - Free As The Wind. It is a 12" vinyl LP, 33⅓ rpm with a solid centre. Published 1977 on the ABC Record Label,  Cat No ABCL 5226.
On the runout of side 1 is ABCL 5226 A1, side 2 is ABCL 5226 B1 which makes this a first pressing! If you think this LP is not a first pressing, then please either do not buy or buy in the knowledge that you think it is not!
All the information is above for you to check before purchasing!
The vinyl has only minimal minor light surface blemishes - I have graded the vinyl as Excellent. The inner sleeve is original and has slight storage wear, I have graded it as Very Good+. The original Picture Sleeve has minor shelf wear, a stain on the front and minor creasing - see pics. It is graded as Very Good+.

Please read the grading system below and take note of the condition comments above!
See pic's for playlist.
This has been stored in my own LP Library!

From a smoke & pet free home!

Vinyl Grade - Please read.
MINT - Possibly unplayed - excellent condition through out!
NEAR MINT (NM): This record has the lightest of light surface scratches on the vinyl. It should play without any problem.   EXCELLENT (EX): Minor scuffs which are visible. There may be more than a few scuffs. It should play without any problem!
VERY GOOD (VG): Record shows wear and / or surface scuffs. The vinyl still has great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause minor surface noise.
GOOD (G) Record has visible scratches / scuffs but plays without jumping / skipping.
FAIR (F) Record may jump or skip but worth having in the collection.
