ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND HARVEST LABEL COLLECTORS!   

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 1ST PRESSING OF THE SELF-TITLED ALBUM BY THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH WITH NO EMI BOXES ON EITHER LABELS AND THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER AS WELL AS THE HARVEST LPs INNER.HARVEST SHVL 769. THERE WAS HARDLY ANY SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE MAKING THIS A VERY RARE LP.  LOCATING A REALLY NICE 1970 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH SOME SURFACE MARKS INCLUDING A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS AND SOME SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT NO STICKS OR JUMPS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO EXCELLENT! THICK VINYL. THERE ARE CLEAN LABELS BUT HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR,STAINING,RIPS OR MAJOR DEFACEMENT. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL HARVEST LPs ADVERT CURVED EDGES INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PATENT No. 1,125,555"(ETC) AND "MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN" CREDITS.THERE IS A TINY SURFACE TEAR AND A TINY REF.NUMBER IN ONE CORNER.THE COVER HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! JUST A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES.  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! THERE IS A LOW,REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE 1970s RARE ROCK LPs FROM ME FOR AUCTION ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW.

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
