SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS AND MEMORABILIA

From an amazing collection of UK first pressings in unplayed or mint condition, we're happy to offer…

A UK Stereo first pressing of Rod Stewart's AN OLD RAINCOAT WON'T EVER LET YOU DOWN on Vertigo with the earliest label, with the large Swirl and "A Philips Record Product" on the Side B label. by the The cover is in Near Mint condition, with some almost impossible to see faint moisture staining along the left edge of the front cover and right edge of the back cover. This does not affect the spine at all and the cover photos show it accurately--ie you can barely see it unless you are really looking closely. Otherwise the gatefold cover is beautiful. The disc is in stunning Mint to Near Mint condition and probably has been played no more than four or five times. A beautiful copy of a rare early Vertigo title. And yes, the original Swirl Inner Sleeve is present.

As nice a copy as you could ever expect to find.

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren’t happy with—no questions asked.

Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe every flaw, no matter how minimal, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
