Man - Live At The Padget Rooms, Penarth 

(United Artists USP 100 UK LP 1972)

 

This is an original UK LP pressing in very nice overall condition! This LP was a Limited Edition at the time. Therefore, it was only available to buy for a relatively brief period. It has a matt sleeve & comes with its original company plain paper inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has 1st press A-1U/ B-1U matrix stampers. 

As stated, this LP was only available to buy for a brief period. Therefore, it is one of their rarer UK LP releases. A very good early 1970's Live Prog Rock/ Acid Rock LP.

Sleeve: There is some moderate fading to the spine. There are some faint staining/ specks/ marks on the top third of the rear sleeve. It appears, to me, that it is faint staining/ residue from the glue used in the printing process. It runs along the rear sleeve in minuscule pin-head sized dots in several areas. They hardly really notice to the eye (see photo).

Otherwise,  there is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the bottom edge. There are a couple of small areas of more moderate rubbing wear to the bottom edge too. There is some light or very mild ringwear on some areas. Very Good+ condition.

Vinyl: There are some light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. The paper inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, mild or very mild dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. There are 3 minuscule specks of white dirt stuck in the grooves. Two on one side, one on the other. These could be very carefully cleaned away. Very Good++ condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show minimal spindle wear only. The company plain paper inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear, fading & creasing. It has no seam splits.

I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent overall, & Excellent in some places. There is some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. There are a couple of light clicks in three separate places on Side 1. There are 3 or 4 mild clicks on one track on Side 2, and a couple of light clicks further on. These are probably caused by the aforementioned white specks or dirt in the grooves.

Therefore, this LP would definitely benefit from a professional deep down clean. It would remove the white specks of dirt in the grooves. The record would, I believe, play Excellent+ & better after a professional clean.

    >>  Grading Information All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.

MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.

NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well  cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.

EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.

NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing

VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.

There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!

The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.

Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition. 
>>  Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.

Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too) 
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).

I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...

If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.

Remember to check out Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
