THE LPs HAVE THE "BOXED"LOGO ORANGE LABELS THAT WOULD BE CHANGED AROUND 1973. 

THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES,A TINY SURFACE SPOT TEAR AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER BUT NO STAINING,WRITING,FADING OR REPAIRS-SEE THE PHOTO OF THE CLEANLINESS AND BRIGHTNESS OF THE INSIDE! 

HOWEVER THE MAIN FOCUS OF ATTENTION HERE HAS TO BE ON THE QUALITY OF THE TWO VINYL LPs INSIDE WHICH ARE MAGNIFICENT AND CANNOT BE BEATEN-JUST PLAYED TWICE!

This highly sought after and ESSENTIAL double album rarely turns up for sale as an ORIGINAL 1ST UK EDITION  in such FANTASTIC CONDITION!   

It is so hard to find as good as this example!

Don't forget that in 1970,most equipment being used was not kind to the delicate grooves,such as autochangers and small portable players!

It was from the collection of Mike Coxhead,a well known,succesful and respected British rock music industry businessman who also worked as a roadie and engineer for bands such as PINK FLOYD,THE WHO and LED ZEPPELIN and many more as well as being a guitarist and keen record collector!

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

He would often decide to buy additional copies of favourite albums as back up spares and this set was in his CAREFULLY SEPERATED part of the collection PROUDLY INFORMING ME OF OF ONLY HAVING HAD ONE PLAY-AMAZING BUT TRUE!!

MY TESTING PLAY,AS I ALWAYS DO,JUST IN CASE WAS THE 2ND PLAY IN JUST OVER 41 YEARS! 

 I HAVE BEEN VERY TEMPTED TO KEEP AS IT IS THE MOST AMAZING EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE BAND'S FINEST AND ALTHOUGH IS NOT A FIRST EDITION,IT IS STILL OVER 40 YEARS OLD AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS! 

The vast majority of copies sold of this Double album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

An ideal opportunity to add a fine album set in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
