Elton John – I’m Still Standing: Extremely rare original 1983 UK ultra-high-grade methyl cellulose metal based lacquer reference 12″ acetate, featuring the 3 minute 47 Seconds long Extended Version which was used on the 12 Inch single release, the second side features part of a song from an un-related artist, this is where the disc was quite typically recycled in the studio. This has a custom ‘CBS Mastering Studio’ labels with hand annotated artist name, title & pressing date ‘4.7.83’ and ‘V/S 30.25’. We have play tested and can confirm that the track length written is correct, the playing surface has only a few light surface marks but plays without any issues, and within a plain white sleeve. A really nice example and the first we have ever had. £295
Fleetwood Mac – Mr. Wonderful: Archive Quality 1968 UK first issue 12-track stereo LP on Blue Horizon with machine stamped A1/B1 matrices, housed in the original internal flipback front laminated gatefold picture sleeve. This is a wonderful archive example. The sleeve is Excellent to Near Mint with lovely clean edges & only the lightest spot of scuffing to the laminate. The vinyl is jawdropping near ‘as new’. You will be unlikely to ever find a better copy than this! £250
King Crimson – In The Wake Of Poseidon: Archive Quality 1970 UK first press 10-track stereo LP with A1/B1 matrices on the pink with white ‘i’ logo Island label, featuring their big hit single [!] ‘Cat Food’ & vocal duties on Cadence & Cascade handled by Gordon Haskell, front textured gatefold sleeve. This is a glorious one owner copy. Both the sleeve & vinyl are Near Mint. With just one tiny paper scuff in a corner, there is few signs of any shelf wear to the sleeve & the vinyl reveals little evidence of any play at all. Highly recommended £195
