The Cat. No is SSYB 14 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Youngblood label see picture and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing there were NO Monos
The record labels are in SUPERB condition see pictures with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASN T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either The record must grade Very Good if not better BRILLIANT RECORD Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to Brillant The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Fold-Out Cover is in GREAT condition The cover has NO sticker marks, NO edge wear apart from some VERY minor touching in traces to the standing edges , NO sticker tears, barely ANY spinal wear AT ALL with the odd isolated touching in trace , and NO rips, NO tears On the inside part of the cover when folded flat the grey part you never EVER look at there is an area of wear or a bolster on 1 seam ONLY. Most people would leave the cover folded up, and I doubt if ANY winning bidder would have unfolded it and seen it. However I have unfolded the cover and also pictured it - to show exactly how very VERY minor this is, and be completely clear to any winning bidder Either way, this part of the cover never EVER gets looked at anyway - so this is completely IRRELEVANT The cover also has NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear NOT through the colour , only a few VERY light creases cover is VERY flat looking , NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, and NO writing The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL though there is some evidence of trimming to the top edges here - though this is so very VERY marginal, it is by no means certain Either way this cover still looks BRILLIANT and must EASILY grade Very Good PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better - though I STRONGLY suspect most people would grade this cover Very Good or even higher And it is certainly a very VERY decent cover indeed, as my pictures clearly show THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESSING OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BY SALAMANDER, IN BRILLIANT CONDITION Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs and contact me with any queries you may have.
