Tea for the Tillerman

  THIS IS A RARE UK 1ST PRESS WITH PINK LABEL, AND LAMINATED GATEFOLD WITH TEXRURED INSIDE GATEFOLD. NOW THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS, AND THE NOT SO GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE IS A NASTY MARK AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 5, AND ONTO THE LAST TRACK AT THE START. IT CAUSES TWO SKIPS AND SOME CLICKS, BUT IS OVER AS QUICK AS IT STARTS. THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING SERIOUS, AND I HAVE DONE A TRACK BY TRACK DESCRIPTION TO GIVE YOU THE BEST AUDIO DESCRIPTION. IF YOU ARE AFTER A TOP PLAYING VINYL PLEASE GO NO FURTHER, BUT IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, THEN YOU WILL BE PLEASED !! ONLY DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM AND LOVELY ORIGINAL COVER THAT I AM LISTING IT !!

THIS IS A 1970 ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS  :: A-3U:: B-3U.

HAS 'STERLING  L H' IN RUN OFFS .

ON THE PINK WITH WHITE 'I' LOGO ISLAND LABEL :: ILSP 9135 .

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED WITH TEXTURED INSIDE GATEFOLD, AND IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH JUST A RUB ON EACH CORNER. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND NO LAMINATE LIFT !!! THE TEXTURED  INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS NEAR PERFECT !! OVER ALL WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: EX- .

VINYL :: PLAYS FINE WITH ONLY THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2 WHICH IS ONLY A MINUTE LONG, WHICH HAS ANY SERIOUS. VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS OK, AND ONLY WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT CAN YOU SEE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A FEW COSMETIC FAINT THIN SCUFF LINES, AND A TINY MORE NOTICEABLE COSMETIC LINE AT THE START OF TRACK 4 ON SIDE 1. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THAT NASTY MARK AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 5 AND HALFWAY INTO THE VERY SHORT TRACK 6 ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ). NOW I KNOW THIS ALL SOUNDS PRETTY BAD, BUT IF IT PLAYED REALLY BAD, IT WOULD NOT BE LISTED ON MY SITE. SO HERE WE GO FOR A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION >>>>>>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START ON QUIET INTRO, THEN THE VERY ISOLATED FAINT TICK, WHICH ARE NOT INTRUSIVE AND THERE ARE NOT MANY. 

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE .

TRACK 3 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START .

TRACK 4 :: COUPLE OF LIGHT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START .

TRACK 5 :: BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START ON THE QUIET INTRO.

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A COUPLE OF FAINT CLICKS JUST AFTER THE START AND A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 2 :: BIT OF LIGHT STATIC AT THE START AND THEN A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE .

TRACK 4 :: HAS A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE. 

TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE UNTIL THE VERY END, THEN THERE ARE FOUR LOUD CLICKS,TWO SMALL SKIPS, THEN FOUR CLICKS, INTO THE START OF TRACK 6. THE END OF TRACK 6 IS FINE. 

IT ALL SOUND BAD, BUT I STILL ENJOYED IT, AND IT STILL PLAYS WELL, BUT IT WILL NOT TURN INTO ANYTHING ELSE, THAN WHAT IS IN THE DESCRIPTION !!

SO FOR AN AUDIO GRADE. WITHOUT THE LAST TRACK ISSUES, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG/VG+. BUT WITH THE LAST TRACK AUDIO ISSUES THE GRADE WILL BE MUCH LOWER!!! SO PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IF YOU DECIDE TO BID, THANK YOU !!!!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN UNDER LIGHT:: EX .

ORIGINAL INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST SOME AGEING AND CORNER CREASING :: VG/VG- .

SUCH A HARD ALBUM TO FIND WHEN IT IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS !!! THE COVER IS VERY NICE, AND THE AUDIO IS WHAT IS DESCRIBE ABOVE. AS I SAID I STILL ENJOYED IT, BUT WILL NOT TURN INTO A MINTY IN THE POST !!!!!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
