Welcome to this auction for one of my classic rock LPs. I will be selling many on ebay over the coming weeks. I bought them in the 1970s and 1980s. They will be posted via Hermes insured and tracked in a new LP mailer with 2 stiffeners.

I am using the "Record collector" grading system (see below).

Here we have the rare and really excellent "Breaking in" by the outlaw blues band.

These guys are sooo cool and they can really play! Side 1 is all blues with guitar, sax and harmonica. Side 2 is an amazing mix of psych, jazz, and even some latin rock stuff that could easily be Santana.

Bluesway records BLS-6030 made in USU 1969. A/B matrix.

The disc grades VG. I have played it right through on both sides. Side 1 has a couple of circular marks that look worse than they play. I only heard anything at the end of track 1 where there are a couple of noises. The rest plays with nothing more than the occasional pop or crackle. Side 2 is practically unmarked. Again just the odd pop or crackle. No skips anywhere. Still a great pleasure to listen to this album. I have no doubt this disc would improve with a clean.

Sleeve grades VG. A few small stains, a bit of biro and a seam split at the top (see pic).

Postage discounts - up to 3 single LPs posted to UK for the same price as one!!

International postage - I can offer alternatives to the one shown - just ask!!!

Any problems with your purchase? Just get in touch with me.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

" 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."

As well as the above grades, is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
