SUN DRAGON
GREEN TAMBOURINE LP
CRAZILY RARE '68 LP WITH SUN DRAGON'S BACKING BAND BEING RITCHIE BLACKMORE (GREAT GUITAR ON 'SO YOU WANT TO BE A ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR'), JON LORD AND IAN PAICE. HUGELY SOUGHT AFTER BY DEEP PURPLE COLLECTORS, THIS ALBUM ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, AND VERY RARELY WITH A PLAYBACK AS GOOD AS THIS. SOME GREAT POP/PSYCH COVERS ON THIS ALBUM - THE COVER PHOTO DOESN'T DO THE MUSIC JUSTICE!
VINYL
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB PLAYBACK, THE AUDIO GRADES AT A STRONG EX++ ON MY LINN, WITH VERY LITTLE BACKGROUND AT ALL. SOME VERY FEINT B/G ON SIDE RUN-INS AND BETWEEN LAST TWO TRACKS ON SIDE 2, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT! WONDERFUL PLAYBACK. VISUALLY THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF NOTICEABLE STORAGE AND HANDLING WEAR, SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS. WOULD GRADE VISUALLY AS VG. CRUCIALLY THOUGH, THE ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED 'CAREFULLY', AND YOU CAN'T FEEL ANY OF THE STORAGE MARKS - THEY'RE ALL LIGHT SURFACE, AND HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE LOVELY PLAYBACK. OVERALL THEN, ESPECIALLY REGARDING AUDIO, A GREAT COPY. WILL BE A LONG WAIT BEFORE ANOTHER ONE COMES ALONG!
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
SLEEVELAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE NICE SOLID VG+ WITH SOME GENERAL STORAGE WEAR, MOSTLY TO EDGES AND CORNERS. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL. MAIN POINTS TO NOTE ARE SOME AGE DISCOLOURING ON THE BACK, AND SOME FEINT BIRO ON THE BACK (BOTTOM RIGHT) WHERE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS WRITTEN THEIR CRITIQUE OF THE ALBUM..'What a load of rubbish'. HMM...FAIR ENOUGH. PROBABLY WHY IT PLAYS SO WELL - IT WASN'T ON THE TURNTABLE MUCH! GOT A FEELING THAT IT MAY COME OFF WITH A GOOD INK RUBBER, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED. OVERALL THOUGH, A NICE SOLID VG+ SLEEVE WITH ALL REAR ALBUM NOTES AND SPINE TEXT CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.

We have been buying and selling rare vinyl for over 30 years. We have large and eclectic vinyl-only stalls at many of the major UK record fairs, including Olympia and Westminster, where our reputation for selling records in excellent condition is well known. We specialise in all things Psych & Prog, although you'll find all genres in our ebay listings.
We sometimes put up rarer LP's on our Record Fair backdrop, so these may be removed from our ebay listings at any point over the weekend if they sell at the fair. You have been warned! :-)
