Welcome to my auctions - from Piedrogee:

This week we have a stunning collection of very rare & seldom seen LPs for sale and many in top collectors condition.

Apologies of some of the camera photos are slightly blurry, that’s just me and my camera & the lighting not getting along that day. 

Some LPs may have a slight reflection of condensation from the window, that of course is not on the vinyl or sleeve. 
Please refer to the detailed grading in the notes.

ARTIST:  Sun Ra

TITLE:  Sleeping Beauty / Springtime Again / Door of the Cosmos

LABEL:  Saturn 1179, Yellow Label Original Issue - Nice.

SLEEVE GRADE:  Plain but original issued 12"  style sleeve, plain white card, still in shrinkwrap, which is 85% intact.

VINYL GRADE:  Graded as an acceptable VG+ but I wil detail grade.  Plays largely cleanly without any major distractions,
there will be small and light ticks in places that only slgihtly distract and may only be noticeable in quiter passages  or at
track starts / fade outs.   I have just listened to it in its entirety and what a pleasure.   A very decent play.  'Door of...' and
'Sleeping..play just fine with having a little light staticy background noise & light crackle in places. 
May well benefit and would be very deserving of a professional clean.

On casual inspection it looks very decent, retains most of its gloss.  There are a few mottling type light marks and a few
light superficial marks   Visual grade for me would be VG+.   This is a very acceptable copy of this rarity.  Maybe on the
weaker side of VG+ but a condition I'd personally be content with.

Please ask if you require any further clarification on any aspect of the grading.

Both labels are clean.

NOTES:   One of most people favourite Sun Ra's pieces of music (& mine too) on a rare original issue - Wow.

Matrix numbers:  11-1-79 A and 11-1-79 B

increased fee, apologies but we have encountered too many problems with despatching to this country.
