Description
Ginger Baker's Air Force double LP & concert programme
This is the double album recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall, London. It is the original release from 1970 on Polydor - Cat# 2662 001.
Also included is the original concert programme from the actual live show. The previous owner (family friend) went to the show that night, later bought the album, and the two have been stored together since then.
Visual and play graded to Goldmine Standard. Vinyl is VG+ and sleeve is VG.
Vinyl - Viewed under light there are a few light marks/scuffs but nothing serious. There is one noticeable line on the intro to side 2 and two on side 4. I have listened very carefully to these parts and could hear no effect to the sound whatsoever, even in the quiet parts. **Update** I have now listened through most of the album, without hearing any surface noise at all. This is an excellent sounding record. VG+
Sleeve - Gatefold sleeve has edge wear and general ageing/fading. The original plain inner sleeves are creased and have photos of Ginger Baker cut from a newspaper taped to them and writing on from the previous owner. He was obviously a fan! VG
Royal Albert Hall programme shows slight fading/ageing. See photos.

About the seller:
I am a record collector myself and have been buying vinyl online since the 90's. I started selling on Ebay a few months ago and have sold 80+ records so far - please check my feedback. I am now selling a collection of around 400 LPs that I have inherited from a family friend that have been in storage for over 25 years. They have been stored upright in a smoke free home for that time.
Grading:
I grade records using the "Goldmine Standard." If you are not familiar with this you can Google it and find details quite easily. None of the records I am selling are Mint (unopened, unused) so will normally be NM, VG+ or VG. I give a separate grading for the vinyl and the sleeve. I do not have time to listen to each record fully but after careful visual inspection I always listen to any parts that have marks that look like they will affect the sound. I always try to give as much information as possible and highlight in the photos any wear to the sleeves. Basically the last thing I want is the buyer to have any surprises when receiving the record.
Postage & packing:
All records are sent in a polythene sleeve in a corrugated cardboard mailer and with stiffeners. I normally post the next working day and always within two. I do not make any profit from P&P - Once Ebay and Paypal have taken their percentage and I pay for the mailer, sleeve and the postage itself, I just about break even. If you wish to buy more than one record and combine the shipping, please contact me before paying so I can send a new invoice. I can normally fit up to 3 records in one mailer, depending on the thickness of the sleeves. International shipping is through the Ebay Global Shipping Programme where Ebay take care of the shipping outside of the UK. There is better protection in this method for buyer and seller.
Any questions, please ask!
