Hawkwind, X In Search Of Space, 1st. Press 1971 UK LP on United Artists records

UK 1st press (A1U/B1U).

This release has an innovative 3-fold die-cut heavy card sleeve. Opened out, it forms a 'T' shape. This shape is printed black & white on inside and full-colour on reverse.

When the lower page is folded up (to contain the liner) the sleeve then takes the form of a 6-page triptych - with the die-cut tab & slot linking together at the centre. When locked 'closed' the liner/vinyl can still be inserted via the top opening.

The package also contains an A4, 24-page 'Log Book', packed with the minutiae of the band's 'flight' through space & time. This 'Log' is printed black on white 'newspaper-quality' paper.

Vinyl is in a very good / excellent condition, a few faint spindle marks and surface scuff marks. Plays fine with the odd crackle.

Sleeve is in a very good / excellent condition. A few small creases, but with very little wear to edges and corners. Slight wear / ‘bruising’ to cut-out tongue and slot. Overall a very good example and few around any better if not at all.

Log Book is in a very good condition only showing a slight discolouration with age. No pages cut, marked or missing.

Records haven’t been played for a number of years so may require a clean before the first play.

Records are normally posted the day after the auction (this may be delayed if there is a ‘lockdown’), if payment has been received.

Please note that if you win an item on ebay you are legally bound to complete the contract.
Anyone who makes bids agrees to the following terms and conditions of ebay,

I describe the items with the best of my knowledge and ability, so to avoid any misunderstanding, and in case of any doubt, please contact me.

I only accept returns if your item arrives damaged or not as described. Returns postage is the responsibility of the buyer. If for any reason you are not 100% happy with your item when you receive it, please contact me.

Feedback- I am fed up of all the people who don't leave feedback (this is a good way of acknowledging that the record has been received). I hopefully shouldn't receive any negative feedback as you would have contacted me if you have had any issues. Then, hopefully they would have been resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

In future I will only leave feedback for those with a score less than mine and those who have left feedback for me.

I was a record collector and I am only selling records from my own personal vinyl collection, accumulated since the early 1970s to the 1980's (I went over to CD's then). Most records have only been played on decent turntables. Since CD's came along and, as a result, most records have only seen occasional play and have been extremely well looked after.

My records are all original pressings (1st, 2nd and subsequent) from the 60s/70s/80s.

The sleeves vary in condition but most are very good / excellent, just showing the usual signs of storage. Most have been stored in plastic protective covers. I try my utmost to provide accurate descriptions.

I separate the LP from the sleeve when packing to preclude any damage to the sleeve in transit.
