Item Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by
Andrew Leigh called "Magician" and is an ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st Pressing
on the 1st Press Polydor label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPS ON THE POLYDOR
LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND
ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY
EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO
LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THE AWESOME
MUSIC & THE PERSONEL BACKING ANDREW LEIGH ON THIS LP!!!!  IN FACT,
IT IS ALMOST LIKE A 'WHOS WHO' OF THE RAREST ARTISTS ON THE MARMALADE
LABEL!!!!  NOT ONLY DOES THIS LP FEATURE GARY FARR AND GORDON JACKSON
(WHO BOTH RELEASED EXTREMELY RARE 'PSYCH/PROG' LPs ON THE MARMALADE LABEL), BUT IT
ALSO FEATURES BAND MEMBERS OF THE BLOSSOM TOES & THE ACTION!!!! 
THIS
LP WAS ALSO REPUTEDLY DUE TO BE RELEASED ON THE MARMALADE LABEL (WHICH
EXPLAINS THE CONNECTION MUSICALLY) BUT THE LABEL WENT BUST JUST BEFORE
THIS LP WAS DUE TO BE RELEASED IN LATE 1969!!!!
  WHAT AN AMAZING LIST OF PSYCHEDELIC ARTISTS ON THIS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING LP!!!!
AND
WITH PERSONEL LIKE THIS - YOU WOULD NATURALLY EXPECT A MUSICAL FEAST OF
PROGRESSIVE & PSYCHEDELIC DELIGHTS!!!!  AND FOR ONCE - YOU
ARENT DISAPPOINTED!!!!  ON SO MANY OCCASSIONS, A SO CALLED 'ULTRA RARE
LP' ONLY SOLD IN TINY AMOUNTS BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS QUITE FRANKLY -
APPALLING!!!!  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  THIS LP IS MUSICALLY SUPERB FROM
START TO FINISH - WITHOUT A WEAK TRACK ON THE LP!!!!  TYPICALLY OF THE
PERIOD - THIS LP IS MORE CLOSELY IDENTIFIED WITH PROG THAN PSYCH - BUT
THERE IS PLENTY OF DEFINITIVE PSYCHEDELIC TOUCHES THROWN IN,
PARTICULARLY ON THE TRACK 'UP THE U.S.A'!!!!  AND QUITE HOW IT WAS
OVERLOOKED BACK IN 1970 IS BEYOND ME!!!!  AND EVEN MORE CURIOUSLY - THIS
LP RARELY (IF EVER!) GETS MENTIONED IN BOOKS OF THE 'RAREST
PROGESSIVE/PSYCHEDELIC' LPs FROM THE PERIOD, WHEN IN FACT IT IS FAR FAR
BETTER MUSICALLY, AND FAR FAR RARER THAN MANY LPs GIVEN THE HIGHEST
RATINGS!!!!  OF COURSE, ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THIS - IS BECAUSE IT IS
SO AMAZINGLY RARE (WITH BARELY ANY COPIES EVER TURNING UP FOR SALE!)
THAT MANY COLLECTORS SIMPLY HAVENT HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO IT!!!! 
BUT IF YOU HAVENT HEARD THIS AMAZING LP - THEN YOU SERIOUSLY MISSING OUT
ON A VERY RARE TREAT!!!!  IT TRULY IS AN AMAZING PSYCH/PROG LP - AND OF
THE UTMOST RARITY, BOTH IN MUSICAL TERMS & ITS RARITY FACTOR!!!!

hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3
ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY
few of the
lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS

wear AT ALL (virtually NONE!),
NO stickers, some typical slight spinal wear (but absolutely NO spine splits and NO repairs either!), NO rips, NO tears, a TINY residue trace in the top right corner (almost INVISIBLE!), only VERY slight
corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rubbing, only a few VERY light
creases

writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully
straight with
barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is
in BRILLIANT condition

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.
 
MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
