The earliest pressings from 1972 on the RCA Victor label are very scarce, make no mistake. This copy is pressed on real vinyl, NOT Dynaflex. The title itself is fairly easily found but most are later pressings, often pressed on Dynaflex or imported wafer thin US pressings.  The cover has the SF 8287 (LSP 4702) number and only the ‘GEM PRODUCTION’ text and logo on back and NO ‘Mainmain’ reference, these came post 1972.

Don't miss the chance of owning a real 1972 rare early pressing of this record!

The vinyl is visually graded in excellent plus condition. Please read below to understand gradings.

The Robert Stace sleeve is in very good plus condition with creases, corner and  edge wear.  It has a name written in the back.

The spine is in excellent condition and fully readable although the centre has faded. 

The 1972 original orange RCA labels are in excellent condition.

The black and white inner with photos and lyrics is in very good condition with creases.
