NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REPRESSES THAT EXIST!  MOST BUYING LPs IN 1973 WERE USING OLD,HEAVY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD WEAR OUT ANY RECORD VERY QUICKLY. DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER! LOCATING A REALLY NICE 1973 COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF TINY AND FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS OR CONSTANT SURFACE SWISHES.THE 1973 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REPRESSINGS. LOVELY THICK VINYL.

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!!!!
