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!
Please read the vinyl and sleeve grading below.
Here we have my own original, first variant 3 pressing and much sought after copy of Elkie Brooks - Pearls. It is a 12" LP, 33⅓ rpm with a solid centre. Published 1981 on the A&M Record Label, Cat No ELK 1981. On the runout of side 1 is
ELK 1981 A-7 TOWNHOUSE, and on side 2 is ELK 1981 B-8 TOWNHOUSE making this a variant 3 first pressing! If you think this LP is not a first pressing, 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 prior to purchase.
The vinyl has only minimal surface blemishes and remains in Excellent condition. The inner sleeve is original and is graded as Excellent. The original Picture Sleeve has minor shelf edge wear and creasing - see pics and is graded as Very Good+.
Please read the grading system below and take into account the comments on condition above!

Possibly one of the better ones here!

See pic's for playlist.
This has been stored in my own LP Library!

From a smoke & pet free home!
Please check out my other listings for rare 7" & 12" vinyl from my own vast collection!

I will pack this as best possible with additional card to protect - or collect to preserve the quality.
See my other items - I may have something you want!

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.
Cover & Sleeve Grade - Please Read.
MINT (M): No stickers, address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover. 
NEAR MINT (NM): The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age.
EXCELLENT (EX): Artwork is still fair. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear),  but no ink wear! Some creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye.
