Vinyl: EX   condition. Only a few  small  hairlines can be detected, very small indeed. Otherwise this is a  fantastic heavy glossy vinyl that has not had much play!! Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

STOP-PRESS-STOP-PRESS-STOP-PRESS!!!!!!!!

!!!Sensational QUALITY Copy!!!

Progressive delight!!!

 Only a  couple of small hairlines to be detected  under an intense light!!  ASTONISHING!!!! I have had about a dozen of copies of this album (first presses) over the last ten years. This is one of the very best I have ever come across. Textured gatefold EJ Day sleeve with B&C Records credits and no labelling to the spine indicating a very first sleeve.

    I have played this album in FULL> it plays absolutely faultless, NO skips, NO jumps, NO pops and ... NO crackle!!!! The audio is breathtakingly sublime!!!! Only some staic between tracks, very minimal!! Any vinyl always has this. This album in this fantastic condition rarely ever comes up for sale and in my opinion it will be IMPOSSIBLE to better this. As such it is the ultimate KEEPER/VAULT copy and a mighty good investment!!! Most of these are now safely tucked away in major prog/psych collections around the world, this is a very rare opportunity to acquire this glorious album.

The gatefold sleeve is likewise PHENOMENAL!!! ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL SCUFFING ON THE EDGES!!! There are also NO creases. See the close-up pics for a good impression of what the whole album looks like. This is exceptional in each and every way conceivable!! Crispest opening ever seen!!!! This, of course has the fully textured sleeve!!! Only the very first issues were textured from the outside and .... THE INSIDE as well. The lyrics inner is present as well and in EX condition although it is obvious that is has been handled, NO creases though and that is quite exceptional in itself.

Most copies do not have the inner gatefold textured feature as it was quite expensive to have the whole textured. As a result the subsequent batches were SMOOTH  inside. THIS IS RARE!!! Connoisseurs will know what is on offer in this auction!!! This sold in very small numbers and genesis had definitely not yet made it to the major league at this stage. Only a couple of thousand were pressed of this first press Pink Scroll label. It's anyone's guess how many survive till this day.

 Most Trespass albums are now included in major prog collections around the world!!! Just have a look at the pictures, this is unheard of for this 40 year old album!!!

This beautiful glossy slab of vinyl is pure quality!!!!! The vinyl looks fantastic and I played it all the way through, it sounds STUNNING !!!! Re-issues do just not measure up to the depth of the sound. This is just awesome!!! NO jumps, NO pops and NO skips. NO background crackle!!!! This album is playgraded on a Linn Sondek/ Rotel/ B&W set-up. The audio is simply MINDBLOWING!!!! It would be a very tough task to still upgrade from this copy. It has to be the very best one available!!!!

The gatefold sleeve is the correct textured one. I have attempted to do some close-up shots on the edges just to reflect the near immaculate condition of this album. One crease to the back top corner hardly distracts from the beauty of this phenomenal sleeve!! NO WRITING ON THE SPINE MAKING THIS THE VERY VERY FIRST SLEEVE, subsequent textured sleeves had print on the spine and even later sleeves were NOT textured on the inside. THIS COPY HAS THE VERY FIRST SLEEVE WITH ALL CORRECT FEATURES!!!!!!!!

 In my opinion it will be extremely hard to find an equally great copy as this one!!!!THIS IS A REAL ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. ONCE IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE!!

Labels EX+. The pink scroll labels are both stunning. Perfect except for a few extremely light spindle marks. Only a couple of hardly visible spindle lines.  SENSATIONAL!!! P.S It looks as if there are some patches on the labels in the pictures. Rest assured , this is just the sunlight through our net curtains casting shadows.

Important, international postage will be by Signed For service if the album reaches over GBP 40.00.  In this case please wait for my adjusted invoice.

I offer a full no quibble refund policy if not entirely satisfied.
