Description
This record has been in my collection for a long time. It is the UK first pressing with the solid blue triangle and comes in the hazy blue/black sleeve. The original sticker was placed on the inner cover. It comes with the two posters and two stickers. It is housed in the original black poly lined sleeve.
Record Condition Graded VG - VG+ RRPG grades record/sleeve I've been conservative here. On my system I can hear clicks an crackle, especially on A1. This disappears and there is a good full sound throughout, despite the crackle, it's a good listen. The record has a good sheen. If I had a Vi-Pro etc, then I think it would befit this. Under bright light I can see a light mark to A1and some very light marks to B but nothing significant. There are some tiny marks on the run off under magnification. The label has minimal spiralling. Matrix A-side - SHVL 804 A-2 there also looks like GDC but is difficult to read and a 7 at 7 o'clock Mattrix B-side - SHVL 804 B-2 and what looks like GGG
Sleeve Gatefold blue/black ink sleeve. Right hand opening. It has light wear with minimal ring wear and some corner bumping. Generally very nice indeed.
Inner sleeve A distinctive polythene lined die cut black semi-matt paper. Two patent numbers to bottom left, 1125555/1072844, and "Made in Great Britian" to the right.
Posters Both in excellent condition
Postcards Both unused with their backs on stating " PERMANENT". One has creased from being caught in the gatefold.
Overall, a lovely copy. Listening now and the sound is near EX at present! The start of A1 is clicky and you can hear some background in the quiet moments. Money also has some crackle at the start. What an epic! I have other copies and am now letting my trophy copy go to a new home. Sad times, but hey!
