***
HERE IS A GREAT COPY OF THIS DEBUT BY THE UK BAND MAGNA CARTA
THIS IS THE VERY RARE FIRST UK PRESSING ON THE VERTIGO LABEL. AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS IT'S VERY MUCH A CONCEPT ALBUM ON THE THEME OF THE FOUR SEASONS. MIXING ROCK WITH CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTS, RICK WAKEMAN FEATURES ON KEYBOARDS.
THIS IS A REALLY NICE COPY AND WITH NO RESERVE AND A LOW START PRICE.
BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH MODERATE SPINDLE TRACES. THIS DISC HAS SOME ULTRA FINE WHISPY LINES AND THE ODD TINY MATK VISIBLE UNDER LIGHT. PLAYBACK REVEALS A FEW LIGHT POPS AND SOMR MINOT CRACKLE EVIDENT DURING THE QUIET PASSAGES.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISCS IS EXCELLENT
AUDIO GRADING FOR DISCS IS EXCELLENT
THE GATEFOLD COVER IS IN QUITE STUNNING CONDITION . NO CREASES, A PERFECT SPINE WITH SHARP EDGES AND CORNERS. THERE IS JUST THE HINT OF A CREASE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER JUST ABOVE THE VERTIGO LOGO, HARDLY NOTICABLE REALLY. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT.
HAVE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND YOU'LL SEE JUST HOW GOOD THIS COVER IS. THE SWIRL INNER HAS SOME CREASES AND THE POLYTHENE HAS DETACHED FROM THE PAPER, OTHERWISE VERY GOOD.
?COVER GRADING IS EXCELLENT +

I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT. I DO NOT GIVE PARTIAL REFUNDS.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY 2ND CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED WITH INSURANCE FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO EASTERN EUROPE, PLEASE SEE POSTAGE EXLCUSIONS.
THE ITEM WILL BE POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
