Description
ATTENTION 1970s BRITISH PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1973 1ST PRESSING OF THE RARELY SEEN ALBUM BY GENTLE GIANT: "IN A GLASS HOUSE". DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER! THIS EXAMPLE HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN 43 YEARS AS WELL AS A LYRICS INNER SLEEVE AND A WINDOW STYLE COVER WITH THE INSERT THAT HAS ADDITIONAL PHOTOS THAT BLEND IN WITH THE FRONT COVER.
ISSUED ON THE WWA LABEL:WWA 002 AND HAVING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1Y/2Y MATRIXES. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1973 EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WERE VERY FEW SALES FOR THIS LP AND AS SUCH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH SOME FAINT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. ONLY SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE. THE RECORD HAS NO STICKS OR JUMPS.
THERE IS HOWEVER A CLICK ON ABOUT HALF OF THE QUIETER 2ND TRACK OF SIDE ONE. MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS EXCELLENT BUT BECAUSE OF THE CLICK ON THE 2ND TRACK I WILL GIVE THE OVER ALL VERY STRICT GRADING OF VERY GOOD+++ CONDITION!
THICK VINYL. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL LYRICS INNER SLEEVE WITH SOME SMALL CREASES BUT NO WRITING,REPAIRS,RIPS OR STAINING.
THE INSERT AND COVER HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE COVER HAS SOME SURFACE AND EDGE WEAR BUT NOTHING MAJOR! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £20 PRICE FOR THIS RARE LP WITH MORE RARE LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND MORE PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs TO FOLLOW. 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!!!!
