Notes

UK 1st Press 'Bullseye' pink label, with ℗1969 date at foot.

NO LARGE 'MADE IN ENGLAND' BOTTOM LABEL TEXT - as this was only invented and featured on ILPS 9097 onwards. Therefore any copies with this text are at least 4 months after the release date. Also the lack of a date shows it is closer to the Block logos - as they also do not feature a date.

(March was the official release date for this, so released between Mar to Sept - when label was changed to the 'Block logo' for this release)

(2nd cat# on label)
Sleeve: Gatefold, wrap-around image, unlaminated inside & outside. Full color outside, sepia inner.

"Island Records Limited 155-157 Oxford Street London W1 England"
"Printed and made by Ernest J. Day & Co Ltd., London, W11"

                               Super Hard To Find In This Original 1969 UK Vintage Vinyl, Pink (Bulls Eye), Island Records Label Edition !!!


Vinyl Is In Good Condition.

(there are a lot of small & large scratches across both sides of the vinyl, a few of them are deep, they are all audible - there are also some rubbing / scuffing marks on the vinyl - there is a lot of general age related wear - all that said, this is the Original UK First Pressing of the Classic Free album from 1969 with the Original Pink Island Bulls Eye Logo Label, which is really kind of hard to find)



Cover Is In Good To Good Plus Condition.

(there is a lot of general age related wear - some edge wear - some ring wear - there is some cover tearing at the upper left front cover (see photo))




This Is A Great Find For The   Free / Paul Kossoff / Paul Rodgers   Fan or Collector!                      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Please note: All of the items that I sell are from my own personal collection. 

This is a large collection (that I have maintained and added to for well over 40 years), 

that I am now divesting, due to mounting medical bills.


I, am not a store, or a business. 

I am a private collector, selling off large parts of my personal collection.


Please Note: Despite a major surgery that I had a while ago, I am still dealing 

with a lot of extreme complications and chronic disability. 

As a result, this sometimes gets in the way of my e-baying.  

So, if my turn around time takes a lot longer then most sellers, 

(I have a 30 day shipping window) I really do apologize in advance. 

I know it is a (potentially) long delivery window, 

and you may want to consider this before bidding.


Also, I always ship items in proper shipping packaging, with padding 

or packing peanuts or cardboard bracing as needed. I use whatever is 

required in order to try and get it safely through the worldwide mail 

systems. As a result, there is a small (cost) fee for the packaging materials 

that I get from Box City, in order to safely ship the items.


Also, please understand this in advance, I use the e-bay calculator to 

figure out postage. Sometimes, it is wrong, and presents a cost that is 

higher then the actual cost at the post office. If and when this is the case, 

I always refund the difference.


Please Note: Overseas Packages that go through the Customs system, 

can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to Process and Deliver, This IS Normal. 

For Russia and the Middle East, this can take even longer and is 

completely out of my control, so please be patient.



Many Thanks.
