British double-LP reissue of the musical fantasy storytelling album, ‘Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland' (1985), featuring a star-studded cast of actors including Dirk Bogarde, Bruce Forsyth, Frankie Howard, Tommy Cooper, Fenella Fielding and Karen Dotrice.
Music by Philip Green, conducted by Brian Fahey. Lyrics by Norman Newell.
This album has never had a release on CD so this remains the only available source for this unusual Music For Pleasure entry.
Philip Green, Norman Newell, Brian Fahey – Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland (1985)
Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyls: VG-EX. Clean on visual inspection. No obvious signs of any marks, scuffs or hairlines on any side except for one tiny curved scuff on the side 3. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is superb. Some light static in places and at run-ins but narrative, vocals and songs sound great. Overall, plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking.
Outer sleeve (Cover): G. Colours are unfaded. Front has dents and scuffs with sticker residue in top right corner and disc outline visible. Corners quite badly worn, some buckled. Creasing in from all sides. Edges have mild damage but spine intact with just light wear to text. Apertures are lightly dogeared with some creasing. Rear outer gate clean with just mild wear to edges, aperture and creasing and dents to spine edge. Inner gate has a few more creases, mainly in bottom right corner and the odd mark on left inner gate. Overall a good example. Inner sleeves: EX. Original EMI. White paper with curved corners and EMI wording on one side. Minor folding/crimping; clean and intact.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:
MINT: 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.
EXCELLENT: 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.
VERY GOOD: 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.
GOOD: 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.
FAIR: 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.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to
scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly
damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
