THERE ARE SOME JUMPS/SKIPS ON THIS LP AND AS SUCH IS STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS GOOD+++ CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO VG.  THICK VINYL-MUCH THICKER THAN LATER 1970s LPs.  NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REPRESSES THAT EXIST! LOCATING A REALLY NICE 1971 COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH SOME SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE AND SOME SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO STICKS OR CONSTANT SURFACE SWISHES BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THERE IS A JUMP/SKIP AT THE START AND END OF THE 2ND TRACK AS WELL AS ONE NEAR THE START OF SIDE 2 BUT THESE THREE JUMPS/SKIPS MAY NOT OCCUR WHEN PLAYED ON AN OLDER PLAYER BUT SHOULD STILL BE REGARDED AS A "GAPFILLER" UNTIL A BETTER COPY COMES ALONG.THE 1971 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER REPRESSINGS. LOVELY THICK VINYL. CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR MAJOR DEFACEMENT!

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!!!!
