NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1976 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS WARNER BROS LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, 1ST PRESS A1/B1 MATRIX ENDINGS, AND 1ST PRESS 'SHOREWOOD' COVER (STILL FACTORY SEALED!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Warner Bros UK 1st pressing from 1976 and is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is K 56298 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Warner Bros label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely SUPERB 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, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light 'bag sweat' traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB 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 which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!   The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Factory Sealed' Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!!  Of course - most of the cover is still 'Factory Sealed' (and will be MINT!) - but the remaining part of the cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear, NO splits, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  In fact, the only details stopping this cover from getting a MINT grading - is that the Plastic 'factory seal' has tightened over the years and pulled the cover VERY slightly to an uneven position.  The other detail is under VERY bright light ONLY - I can see 3 or 4 residue marks to the left of the cover.  However these are under the seal, and most people would never EVER notice these!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
