Description
Dave Greenslade - The Pentateuch Of The Cosmogony
(EMI EMSP 3321UK LP 1979)
This is an original UK Hardback Book/ Double LP pressing in great overall condition! The story and artwork is by Patrick Woodroffe. The music is by Dave Greenslade. A great late 1970's Synth Prog album. Obviously the music is there to accompany the story/ artwork.
This is the very 1st UK pressing. It has a 12" sized hardback book. This has an inner wallet, on the inside of the front & back board/ cover, which houses both records. Both the records comes complete with their original custom plain black polythene-lined inner sleeve. The records have 1st press A-2U/ B-4U/ A-2U/ B-3U matrix stampers.
Hardback Book/ Cover: There is some light or very mild fading to the spine. There is a very small 0.5 cm hairline scratch near the bottom of the spine. This hardly notices. There is some light or very minor rubbing wear to the corner tips. The book is totally complete & has no loose pages or tears. There is some light, mild or very mild rippling to the front plain grey page. There is some light or very mild ringwear, to a varying degree, to the first & last pages. There is some mild or very mild ringwear to the inner wallets/ pockets on the inside of the front and back cover. Overall, VG++ condition.
Vinyl 1: Looks to be near unplayed! There are a few light or very minor sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. EX+ condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show minimal spindle wear. The plain black polythene-lined company inner sleeve is in VG+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & rippling. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in some places. There is some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. This LP would definitely benefit from a professional clean. Visually the disc is in stunning condition and looks near unplayed. Therefore, any crackle is just due to deep down microscopic dirt in the grooves. This has happened over time. It would, I believe, be a near perfect to perfect audio copy after a professional clean.
Vinyl 2: Looks to be near unplayed! There are a few light or very minor sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. EX+ condition. The labels are in Very Near Mint condition and show next to no spindle wear. The plain black polythene-lined company inner sleeve is in VG++ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & rippling. It has no seam splits.

Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
Please note that I cannot reimburse payments for any uninsured items lost in the post. Sorry!
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
