Take a look at some of the premium highlights we’ve got in stock below, and the full range can be seen on eil.com.
GENTLE GIANT Octopus (1972 UK first press Vertigo ‘spiral’ label 8-track LP, the formidable fourth album which marked the last involvement of eldest Shulman brother Phil & the first outing for third drummer John Weathers who stayed with the band thereafter, engineered by Martin Rushent [T-Rex, Yes, Buzzcocks, Stranglers], this is a cult classic among prog fans. Includes the brain-melting complexity of ‘Knots’, full of interlocking vocal harmonies wedded to bold symphonic rock sounds. The gatefold sleeve is a classic Roger Dean design & complete with the die-cut swirl inner. The cover is Excellent with very few signs of shelfwear & the vinyl is super clean & Excellent likewise, with barely a hint of play. Highly recommended).
THE BEATLES Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Very Rare 1969 UK issue of the 1967 13-track MONO LP on the black & silver one box EMI logo Parlophone label, complete with the intact sheet of cut-outs & the fully laminated gatefold picture sleeve. This particular label design was used very briefly in 1969 only, between the Apple label & the standard two EMI box logo, & is now a tough mono variant to find. The sleeve remains in Very Good condition with some shelfwear scuffing & dulling to the laminate over time; there is the odd pinch mark & tiny paper fracture to the spine but all print remains legible, there is no writing & the sleeve remains the easier part to replace. The all important vinyl, which is ten times more difficult to replace, remains in fantastic Excellent condition & shows minimal signs of use, other than the odd tiny hairline not affecting play PMC7027).
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN & DOUBLE TROUBLE Couldn’t Stand The Weather (Fantastic 2020 US Limited Edition UltraDisc One-Step 45rpm remastered 13-track double LP, expanded issue of his second album originally released in 1984, now pressed by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab on Audiophile quality 180gram Heavyweight SuperVinyl. Both discs within foil-stamped jackets and housed together in the opulent 13″ x 13″ x 1″ two-piece gold-embossed picture box which is individually hand-numbered on the reverse, and remains factory sealed in the stickered shrink UD1S2-007)
