ATTENTION FAIRPORT CONVENTION,ISLAND LABEL AND 1960s FOLK/ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS!     

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 3RD PRESSING OF THE CLASSIC 1969 ALBUM BY FAIRPORT CONVENTION:"UNHALFBRICKING".

THIS LP HAD A FEW COPIES PRESSED ON THE SLIGHTLY EARLIER DESIGN PINK LABELS WITH BULLSEYE OR BLACK BLOCK LOGOS,BUT THIS IS A 3RD PRESSING FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE HAVING VERY THICK VINYL INDEED AND THE PINK WITH WHITE "i" LOGO AND "ROUGH TEXTURED" LABELS WHICH DIDN'T EXIST AFTER 1970! LATER REPRESSES HAD SMOOTH LABELS WITH THE PINK RIM AND AS SUCH ORIGINAL VERY EARLY REPRESSINGS LIKE THIS STUNNING EXAMPLE ARE VERY HARD TO FIND!

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" TEXT(WITH A TINY TEAR AND SOME CREASES) AND THE ERNEST J.DAY COVER.

THE DISC IS SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES. JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT.HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE. NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS.GETTING HARD TO FIND IN 2018 AS GOOD AS THIS FINE EXAMPLE WHICH HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE IN 48 YEARS! THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR MAJOR DEFACEMENT.THE COVER PRINTED BY E.J.DAY HAS SOME MINOR CREASES AND SOME SURFACE/RING WEAR BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE FAIRPORT CONVENTION AND ALSO SOME SANDY DENNY LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK FOR AUCTION.  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!!!!
