·         SO BACK TO THE DISC ITSELF>>>>>> 

·         MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED ON TOP EQUIPMENT WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER!

·         GENERALLY VERY QUIET VINYL,AS NEEDED WITH REFLECTIVE MUSIC!

·         Copies of this album were sold in MODEST quantities as STRAWBS were not huge sellers in the UK,so how many were preserved like this one AS A FIRST EDITION??

·         HARDLY USED AND NOT ABUSED!!! 

·         THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!

·         Vinyl is still the best way to hear this great music AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

·         GREAT SOUND! 

·         MORE BASS THAN CD! 

·         I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

·         BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

·         There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!! 

·         The  cover has a couple of tiny edge creases but that is being very strict!

·         NO WRITING! NO RIPS! NO REPAIRS!      NO SELLOTAPE! 

·         MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR! 

·         Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1980s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

·         HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

·         Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find! 

 I will mention any defects or flaws no matter how small that I notice to be fair as possible to any interested reader – I pay fine attention to detail and my buyers have the right to be too. All the pictures I use for your guidance are taken with a digital camera - they are NOT improved, cleaned-up or made better looking than they are with camera trickery or enhancing with digital programmes. What you see is what you get. The only thing I cannot guarantee one hundred percent is exact colour matching - this depends on the lighting at the time and that is out of my control, but I feel sure most items will be very close to the actual real item.
