For Sale - A Band called Aphrodite's Child released an album called "666 The Apocalypse Of John 13:18" Gatefold 1st pressing in VG+
 This record was purchased by me on release around 1972 and I had to special order it and wait a month to get it from my local record shop, no Internet back then :) . I heard that it was a breakthrough record and I was a fan of Vangelis and so I went for it and boy was I impressed. This record is amazing and the power of a UK pressing makes it still sound modern today.
I used a Phillips 212-A Turntable with a Grado cartridge and I always handle my records with the thumb and index finger method (no edge pinching) I use the Diskwasher method of preening the dust off the record at all plays and flips per side. Kept in a smoke free, pet free household. 
I did a radio show back in the day and was exposed to a lot of music, if I wasn't on the air, I was listening to the radio. The Station was a local College station and another was a user supported independent radio station. DJ's competed on who could find the best music and many records were ordered from out of the local market.  This is the kind of record you should listen to using headphones!
Discogs shows 9 of these for sale starting at $453.20 dollars and my copy is in better condition. Top Sold in Discogs says in July 2001 was $719.78  Current for Sale in VG+ is about $1200 us dollars. All the listings are UK and Germany Sellers!  I may be the only one who is in the United States Selling this rare 1st pressing VG+ album!  I am willing to ship international via Ebay Global Shipping, so I should be reasonably competitive.

If you are unhappy with your purchase  FOR ANY REASON
Please, before leaving neutral or negative feedback, contact me I'll do everything within my power to resolve any and all issues. 
You may disagree with my grading and that's OK. One thing I ask that you consider on my grading is consider you are buying this record from the original owner and I took good care and I know where this record has been played. 
I do rely on good pictures but I have yet to figure out how to show images in micro detail of the grooves. All my pictures are reflecting the fabric cube that I take the pictures in and that makes the weird reflections on the vinyl. Mainly if you look in the runout section you can see how clean they are.  The reason I do not list returns is I only have one copy of the record and so if I had many copies sure I could offer returns. So please study closely and consider all aspects of this offering. I do promise your satisfaction if you contact me with your concerns, I am sure we can work something out together.
If you are buying something from my store, then we are much alike and value the same things, as I sell based on my hobbies and interests. 
Thanks for looking! Happy Ebaying!
