MIchael Rabin - The Magic Bow LP
Rare and sought-after original first UK stereo pressing on Capitol SP 8510, ED1
Record: EX (the record has had some water damage and there was some moldy residue on the vinyl surfaces; I have carefully cleaned and play-graded the LP and other than a slight amount of surface noise I could not detect any audible defects such as ticks, pops, distortion or the like so I would grade the audio as EX+; visually the vinyl is almost unmarked and the labels pristine)
Cover: G+ (signs of wear and light water damage; a small tear and two stickers on the back)
All items are carefully inspected and graded using Record Collector's Grading System. All flaws will be pointed out in the item's description. All items are also cleaned and play-tested in full prior to dispatch to ensure that they will play to the standard expected.
To make life easier, I offer free registered shipping to any destination in the world (no exclusions). All items are packaged 'snugly' to prevent internal movement damage, double-boxed if needed, using high-quality materials. The LP is first removed from the cover and then placed in a protective plastic outer sleeve to avoid seam splits. Extra care is taken with fragile items such as shellac discs and boxed sets.
All items come with a full money back guarantee including return postage so if there is an issue with your order please contact me immediately before leaving less than perfect Detailed Seller Ratings, negative feedback or opening a case and I will do my best to resolve it to your complete satisfaction.
If you have any questions regarding this or any other of my items please do not hesitate to contact me.
