CARAVAN -

IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, I'D DO IT ALL OVER YOU

SKL-R 5052  

 DECCA LABEL

  1st UK PRESS 1970

Machined matrices P-2W  P-4W

So, so hard to find, one of Caravan's all time classic albums and here it is where it all came together from start to finish although the predecessor was awesome in its own right!! Splendid Canterbury prog album in great EX to NM condition!! This will be a great first acquisition as well as a terrific upgrade!!! This has the original blue Decca label  and the inner Decca ridge. A stunning copy of this album, rarely ever seen in this condition and is worthy as an upgrade for most experienced collectors!!

I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! There are not any jumps, pops or skips. There is NO background noise at all!! Very remarkable for this 1970 vinyl!!! The heavy vinyl with high groovewalls provide a fantastic audio experience with channelling not equalled by the later CD versions. I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!! A beautiful CLASSIC with supreme songcraft, a joy to listen to!!!!

Vinyl: EX+.  Barely played. The audio is simply sublime played on my Technics deck with Linn Sondek cartridge and through my Rotel amp and B&W speakers.  This vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic album that went largely unnoticed at the time. Unbelievably it has NO hairlines at all and i doubt whether it has been played more than just once or twice!! The audio has beautiful separation and there is no background noise. I played this through in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed mega rare now in this kind of condition. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

Sleeve: VG++.  Fantastic looked after front laminated sleeve without any damage, but has a couple of corner creases to the front as can be seen in the pics. The spine is fully legible. The predominantly white back is still bright without any stains or writing. The edges have no wear at all. Very very hard to find this sleeve in this gorgeous condition. The winner will be very pleased indeed!! Printed by Robert Stace. No writing, no marks .

This has the original polylined blue print inner sleeve in EX                                                       condition.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 30.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
