Solo album by Anthony “Top” Topham who, as I’m sure you know, was the first guitarist with The Yardbirds. What is amazing is that, right now, he’s the lead guitarist with The Yardbirds.
This is an album of instrumentals showing his writing and playing skills in a jazzy/brassy setting. Loads of well known names amongst those playing, John Marshall, Tony Coe, Pete Wingfield, Duster Bennett and Herbie Flowers to name but five.
CONDITION.
The sleeve is in very good condition*. A couple of sticker marks and a small nick on the rear. This can be sen on one of the attached photographs.The spine shows wear though you can still read “Blue Horizon”
There is a plain paper inner sleeve which is fine.
Vinyl This is in excellent *condition.
Good News Everyone! You can check out the quality on the attached eCommerce Player. (In fact my request/demand is that you listen before placing any bid.)
(This album recorded on my Linn Sondek turntable using “Audacity”, exported as a 320 kbps MP3 file and uploaded into eCommerce Player. No editing whatsoever just a pause as I turned the disc over. It's all there from the moment the stylus touches down, finds the groove, plays the side and runs off)
Thanks for looking over this item. I've done my best to highlight any deficiencies and again request that you have a listen before placing a bid.
Apologies for any “typos” and my Cavalier use of upper and lower case text.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
