The record is pressed on thick quality vinyl. The Cat. No is K 44181 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Reprise label (see picture) and is a 1972 Stereo 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and AMAZINGLY only 1 spindle mark on one side!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE - WITH ONE SIDE NOT EVER BEING PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.  This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AWESOME!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle!!!!  The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!!  The 1st Press Cover is in STUNNING condition and absolutely MILES better than the usual heavily worn examples that turn up for sale!!!! It has NO edge wear, barely ANY spinal wear (side words ALL perfectly readable), NO ringwear, NO rubbing AT ALL, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (Cover is VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing (apart from the TINY catalogue number), NO grubbyness, NO rubbing and NO yellowing!!!! The cover must STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and is SO HARD to find in this condition!!!!  THIS LP IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION, AND IS ONE OF THE VERY RAREST FLEETWOOD MAC LPS - SO  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
