Whalefeathers blue Horizon Uk Original Lp 1971 Psych Blues Prog. Rare

Whalefeathers - 2nd LP

Blue Horizon 2431 009 UK LP 1971

This is an original UK pressing. It has a matt sleeve comes with its original polythene-lined company inner sleeve - which is in VG condition. The record is pressed on thick vinyl has 1st press A-2/ B-1 matrix stampers. A very rare UK LP release on the Blue Horizon label. A very good Psych-Blues-Prog LP.

Sleeve: Very nice indeed There is some light to mild rubbing wear to the bottom edge corner tips. NEAR EX condition.
Vinyl: Unfortunately the polythene bag has reacted with, left some marks on, the vinyl. This is quite prominent on Side 1, relatively mild on Side 2. It does not affect the play at all. Otherwise just some light sleeve rubs can be seen under a strong light. Good condition. I have play tested this LP in its entirety it plays near excellent overall excellent in some places. There is some light crackle in some quieter places. The labels are lovely and clean and show minimal spindle wear.

gt gt 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.
MINT Condition As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate
NEAR MINT Condition Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.
EX Condition A clean tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.
NEAR EX Condition You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
VG Condition A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won t be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won t detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed

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...
