MEIC STEVENS - OUTLANDER

A little played and truly outstanding "FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE" copy of this long deleted 1970 UK 1st press psychedelic folk gem

Year/Label : 1970 UK Warner Bros Label number : WS 3005 Matrix numbers :  WS 3005A - 1 *T, WS 3005B - 3 *T Stampers :  B 1 / D 1
Excellent plus (EX+) condition vinyl -  completely flat, weighty and retaining it's original and gorgeous jet black sheen. Virtually unmarked and even with close inspection under a bright light the only identifiable blemishes are just a couple of wispiest of wispy faint paper scuff lines on each side - nothing to impinge upon the wonderful sound quality of this record.  Near mint (NM) condition labels : if you look very hard in a bright light you may just be able to detect a couple of small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each side, otherwise perfect, and further evidence to support the view that this record has been very sparingly played.  Very good plus (VG+) condition non- laminated original Partridge Horton designed and West Brothers printed outer sleeve with firm unscuffed edges (just the occasional very minor handling "nick" on each of the edges), including a firm spine with all spine text remaining nicely intact (though there are a few tiny "nicks" on the top half of the spine - see photos). Each corner remains firm with minimal rubbing and there is no fraying on the opening edges though there are some very minor handling "nicks" towards the bottom of the front side opening edge. All colours, art work and text remain in excellent condition with perfect definition still. Comes complete with near mint condition original lyric insert - no tears, creases edge fraying, or discolouration.  Near mint (NM) stereo audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, distortion, interference or background crackle. Crystal clear sound quality throughout with each and every track remaining a great listen.  Comes with original and excellent plus condition poly-lined "MADE IN ENGLAND" and "British Patent..." text inner sleeve with no side splits, just some very minor creasing towards the corners and equally minor discolouration towards the top edge. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.    A brilliant 1970 UK 1st press copy of this folk/rock rarity - you won't find many 1st press copies in better condition than this!

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window!
