Pressing details
This is the UK Portrait / Epic issue, catalogue PRT 25792, with “Made in England” labels and the early:
Side A: PRT 25792 A1
Side B: PRT 25792 B1
The A1/B1 matrix combination is associated with the original UK pressing and is considerably more attractive to collectors than later reissues or recuts.
Condition:
VINYL: VG+
The vinyl retains a strong glossy appearance and looks very clean overall.
There are some light surface marks / fine hairlines visible under strong direct lighting, but I can see no obvious deep scratches or significant groove damage in the photographs.
Labels remain clean and well presented with no major writing, tears or staining.
This is a visual grading unless otherwise stated and the record has not been fully play-graded.
SLEEVE: VG+
The original picture sleeve presents very well for its age.
There is some light edge and corner wear, minor creasing and light storage wear around the opening and extremities, but the artwork remains bright, colourful and highly attractive.
The sleeve retains the classic front and rear artwork and is a strong example overall.
Please study all photographs carefully as these form an important part of the condition description.
