Pete Brown and his Battered Ornaments: Thousands on a raft HARVEST SHVL 782UK
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY – IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU SEE ONE OF THESE AGAIN IN THIS CONDITION.
This was one of many records owned and cherished by my late father, I have commenced the sale of his masterpiece collection. He attended UCL London from 1968-1974 and was an able gifted man studying maths and computer science. He also ran the societies club and arranged gigs etc. He recently sung and performed acoustic guitar alongside Julie Felix of folk acclaim before sadly passing too soon. See below associated links.
The records you will see for sale over the coming months will be folk and prog rock masterpieces from the golden era. e.g. floyd, john morgan, pentangle, fairport, rolling stones, beefheart, hendrix etc etc...reaaly an incredible selection from an avid collector spanning many decades.

This item for sale is the Original first pressing WITHOUT the EMI logo but WITH "The Grammophone Co.Ltd” text on the labels, including the original Harvest gatefold cover in NEAR-MINT/MINT condition which alone is a hard find (NO splits,NO tears,NO writings etc..)..
My father would have bought it NEW, played it only a few times and stored it away….I’m quite confident to say that this might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy such a pristine and beautiful copy…If it doesn’t sell for the listing price now it will be put in a later auction and I know someone will eventually buy it.
My father was absolutely meticulous in his handling of records, and taught me everything I know about caring for them and storing them. It is just that this style of music is not up my street, I prefer more electronic dance music etc, hence the upcoming sales of many 1965-1975 records in the coming months.
Cover: fully laminated Ernest J. Day cover, superb clean and crisp NEAR-MINT, ALMOST AS NEW condition .. the spine is totally square,un-crushed, clean and really nice with ALL the text clearly visible on it (see picture)…inside is EXACTLY the same as the outside, totally SPOTLESS ,as NEW…opening edges are nice,straight and sharp, NO real signs of use at all ....no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....
record,visual: superb clean NEAR MINT- with few EXTREMELY LIGHT MICROSCOPIC hairlines…...it still retains it’s beautiful original sheen and it looks VERY NEAR NEW. The digital camera pictures I took only show light dust, one wipe/off static and all gone to a crisp new shine on the actual surface of the vinyl itself - exceptional quality piece beyond any shadow of a doubt, and I will tell you I am fussy!
labels: AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE with few EXTREMELY LIGHT and SMALL spindle hole marks , SHVL 782 A-1G and SHVL 782 B-1G matrix numbers,very first pressing .. no tears,stamps or any other damages...again, see pictures.
