NIRVANA All Of Us: Rare original 1968 UK 12-track stereo LP on the rough textured pink Island label with orange ‘eye’ logo, including Rainbow Chaser & Tiny Goddess. For this incredible collector’s copy we shall grade the vinyl first, because it is SPECTACULAR. We believe you will not find a cleaner looking copy on the planet. It appears….….NEAR MINT, barely having ever seen a turntable in its life. The matt picture sleeve only reaches a VG grade but it is still a nice example, albeitwith some paper loss around the edge & some ring wear. All text is legible & it completes a really nice example of this Island rarity, more info hereIRON MAIDEN Wrathchild: Rare 1981 Japanese-only 7″ vinyl single with the Eddie & street light picture labels, also including Ghengis Khan, complete with a unique picture insert featuring a great live on stage image & printed with lyrics for the title track in English & Japanese on the reverse. This single was never commercially released outside…..Japan, with just a promotional Compact Disc in the America. The insert has just a few light creases with minimal signs of wear, whilst the vinyl shows little evidence of play, a really outstanding copy, more info hereJOHN MARTYN The Tumbler: Rare & desirable 1968 first UK issue 12-track stereo LP on the rough textured pink ‘eye’ Island label, a stunning British Folk Psych effort produced by Al Stewart & only Martyn’s second album, expanding on the first toinclude jazzy textures from flautist Harold McNair. The front laminated picture sleeve……shows a little ring wear & a faint corner crease & the colours remain fantastic, the spine majestic. The heavyweight vinyl is super clean & grades VG+/EX-with just a couple of faint paper hairline scuffs not affecting play. A very tough first issue to find! More info here
