Description

Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years.

I am known on ebay for selling VERTIGO swirl/spiral albums from my vast personal collection, but I also have other albums on just as interesting labels such as HARVEST, DERAM, NEON, ISLAND, DAWN, B&C/CHARISMA, DANDELION etc which I am now putting up for sale.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

SO HERE WE GO.......

For sale here is --GRAVY TRAIN--STAIRCASE TO THE DAY--1974-UK ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS ON THE DAWN LABEL DNL H1

SLEEVE.... GATEFOLD and UN-LAMINATED. This sleeve is very flat and square. The colours are fresh looking and there is no fading. The closed edges are unsplit and are AS NEW, MINT condition. The front is in MINT condition with NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKER RESIDUE, NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO CREASESand NO STAINS. The rear of the sleeve is also in MINTcondition.The spine has NO wear and is fully readable. The inner gate fold is in MINT condition. Overall this is in AS NEW condition . Not bad for 34 years old.......MINT

LABELS..... There is NO staining, stickers, residue or tears. There are NO spindle marks on either side. MINT/MINT.

VINYL.....Original deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see very faint surface marks which are very light and cause no audible defects, there are no nasty scratches or marks. In normal daylight this album looks NEW. Both sides play WITHOUT SCRATCHES, CLICKS OR JUMPS. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage. There are VERY, VERY, VERY FEW dust crackles that can be heard only in the quiet parts of the music or between tracks, but a professional clean should sort out that. This really is a great copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER . N/MINT, N/MINT. Great copy!!

VERY RARE, BRILLIANT ALBUM

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I prefer payment by paypal, UK bidders may use a personal cheque.

GOOD LUCK bidding! Brian.
