The Omega example has a substantial condition issue. It appears that three of the signatures are damaged, including the Freddie. Some of the ink got rubbed off.

Yes, I was going to post that the contrast seemed perhaps better but then saw that. I thought it was the pen on the glossy stock from a glance, but clearly wear.

Oh, you're right about that. I didn't see that until you mentioned it and zoomed in closer. That definitely does change the value. Significantly. Closer examination would put the omega piece at around 7.5 for me. Maybe 7. The rr piece is near (possibly actually mint?) condition. You can't keep those white albums truly white after 50 year's time. I'd still place the rr piece at around 10. But it could go for more. I seriously doubt it would go (perfect condition or not) for 25k, however.

I'm pretty sure Tracks had one of these signed LPs not long ago for well under GBP 10k. I'm pretty sure they bought it at Omega shortly before for less than GBP 5k.

Maybe they have withdrawn it for the time being and are waiting to see how RR get on.

From memory the optics didnt look brill on that one  but  they  have a different album  up for sale that I think is stunning. I am pretty sure that the price for the one we are discussing was £5,999 or £6,999.  It has been up for ages

I think it may have been this one:

Tracks had taken it out of the frame. 

I may be completely mistaken but the lot sold at TW Gaze is certainly worth comparing too anyway.

Lord almighty. Meanwhile, great rare pieces sit year round at Tracks and never budge. Can't say I understand that price at all. Nice piece for sure, but...yikes.
