Excellent Gift for the Vinyl Collector!!!!

Have confidence, I'm selling my own personal vinyl collection.

Most of my LP's remain unplayed and some are 1st pressings. I used to collect vinyl as I worked in a record shop and have hundreds of rare records.

I would urge you to look at my other listings as I have 100's of singles & LP's ranging from the 50's to the 90's in most genre's.

If you wish to purchase more than 1 LP, pop them in your basket and before you pay, request a total from me and I can combine postage for up to 2 LP's for £3.57p. This will save you money! However, this cannot be done after purchase!

Please read the vinyl and sleeve grading below, you would be surprised how many do not!

Here we have my own, 1st pressing copy of Gilbert O'Sullivan - I'm A Writer, Not A Fighter. It is a 12" LP, 33⅓ rpm with a solid centre. Published 1973 on the MAM Record Label, Cat No MAM.SS.505. 
On the runout of side 1 is AZAL-129595.P-2W, and on side 2 is XZAL-12956.P-1W which makes this a first pressing! If you think this LP is not a first pressing, then please either do not buy or buy in the knowledge that you think it is not!
All the information is above for you to check before purchasing!

The vinyl has only been played once so has only minor, minimal surface blemishes. I have graded the vinyl as Near Mint. The inner lyric sheet is original and is graded as Near Mint. The original disc sleeve is graded as Excellent. There is also the T shirt transfer which has been degraded over time. The ink has become detached from the iron on paper and it is creased. I have placed it back on the paper and took the pic's as shown, so no doubt with a bit of careful placing it could be used. It is also creased which is what I would think would happen when the disc is removed and replaced back in the sleeve! Saying that, It is there! The original Picture Sleeve has only minimal shelf wear - see pics and is graded as Excellent+.

Please read the grading system below and take note of the condition comments above!

See pic's for playlist.

This has been stored in my own LP Library!

Vinyl Grade - Please read.

MINT - Possibly unplayed - excellent condition through out!

NEAR MINT (NM): This record has the lightest of light surface scratches on the vinyl. It should play without any problem.
 
EXCELLENT (EX): Minor scuffs which are visible. There may be more than a few scuffs.
It should play without any problem!

but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause minor surface noise.

FAIR (F) Record may jump or skip but worth having in the collection.
