Description: Here we have a lot of 3 unique LP’s - pressed in RUSSIA in 1991-93 in limited quantity. All albums have significant differences in artwork compared to common US/European releases.

I can say that here we have an instant COMPLETE RUSSIAN PROCOL HARUM COLLECTION, no other Procol Harum LP’s were ever pressed in Russia . These pressings were indeed small so it’s quite hard to collect these together especially in such condition.

All three LP’s are not far from Near Mint. Record of Shine On Brightly is full Near Mint while two others have just some sleeve removal marks seen under bright light and certainly no scratches!

All the covers are really great only Salty Dog is downgraded to Excellent because of very light ringwear on rear (while its front is almost perfect), see photo

Like with most Russian 90-ies Antrop label pressing, the sound on these LP’s is open and clear, I’m sure you’ll like it.

More interesting facts: these albums were issued by the Antrop label. Most western dealers misspell the label’s name. It is ANTROP, not Anfon, not anything else! An abbreviation from the label owner’s name ANdrey TROPillo. This album is the artifact of the short “vinyl boom” period in Russia , which lasted from late 80-ies to 1995. In 1995 the Leningrad record plant stopped manufacturing vinyl…

All are original Leningrad plant pressing copies.

Low start price and no reserve!

Grading: Strict grading according to Record Collector with no tendency to overgrading whatsoever! I inspect the records under proper electric light source and also always PLAY-GRADE them!

Registered Air Mail (sorry, no other options for surface mail, etc.) 23 USD ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. The LP will be packed accurately and is guaranteed to reach the buyer undamaged.

All the records have been carefully CLEANED in a proper way . All the records are shipped in BRAND NEW POLY -LINED INNER SLEEVES separately from the covers. You will NEVER get dirty records with fingerprints, dust or grease from me!

Please note that I use RECYCLED packing materials, they don’t manufacture LP mailers here and imported mailers appear too expensive.

I always obtain PROOF OF POSTAGE (postal receipt) and a TRACKING NUMBER.

Combined postage: Yes, I do combine postage. More – I recommend you to bid on several items because postage for additional LP’s is considerably lower. Postage for 2 or 3 LP’s is 23 USD, postage for 4 to 8 LP’s is 39 USD.

Payment: PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE. DON ’T SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOU GET AN INVOICE FROM ME!!!

Note: If I don’t hear from the winning bidder within 5 days I reserve the right to re-list the item or offer it to the 2nd highest bidder. In this case I shall send a report to ebay regarding non-payment !

I’M A RECORD DEALER WITH 10+ YEARS EXPERIENCE AND 1000+ HAPPY CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE so BID WITH CONFIDENCE! I HAVE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR LP’S FOR SALE – CONTACT ME FOR A FULL LIST. MANY THANKS FOR READING AND GOOD LUCK!
