GENTLE GIANT "In A Glass House" UK WWA 1st PRESS MINT-

PERSPEX WINDOW, CARD INSERT, LYRIC INNER, SUPERB COPY

GENTLE GIANT
In A Glass House

ORIGINAL UK WWA RECORDS (WWA 002 SUPER DE LUXE) FIRST PRESSING (September 1973) OF GENTLE GIANT'S TREMENDOUS FIFTH LP "In A Glass House" - IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION ( I don't think this copy has ever been played - there are no spindle traces on the labels and the vinyl surfaces are unmarked and shine like new) AND IT DELIVERS CRYSTAL CLEAR, CLEAN, SHARP AND BRIGHT AUDIO THROUGHOUT WITH PRACTICALLY NOTHING TO FAULT - GREAT COPY, COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL 'PERSPEX WINDOW' SLEEVE/CARD INSERT AND A MINT UNTOUCHED EXAMPLE OF THE DELICATE, TEXTURED LYRIC INNER SLEEVE

PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE BLACK/SILVER WWA LABELS
MATRIX: WWA 002 1Y//1 11 (etched "RAYS") / WWA 002 2Y//4 11 22
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT, TEXTURED 'PERSPEX WINDOW' SLEEVE WITH THE CARD INSERT,"Printed and Made in England"
AND THE ORIGINAL SHAPED CORNER LYRIC INNER SLEEVE PRINTED ON DELICATE TEXTURED PAPER

Track Listing:
Side 1: The Runaway / An Intimate Lullaby / Way Of Life
Side 2: Experience / A Reunion / In A Glass House

LABELS: Clean, unmarked labels with no evident spindle traces - MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, glossy sheen and appear practically as-new - MINT-
VINYL Audio: Superb audio reproduction with a crystal clear, sharp and bright sound - quintessentially GG with it's complex tempo changes and acrobatic vocals and one of their finest pieces of work. On playback at a loud volume there are no audio major issues of note - this copy is exceptionally clean. Would be graded a full MINT for audio but for one 'pop' on "Experience" (I can see no evidence for this on the vinyl surface) otherwise the playback is flawless - MINT-
SLEEVE: This cover being, as it is, untreated, textured and black is incredibly hard to find in decent condition and although this one does display some of the common 'rubbing' it is very, very light and must rank as one of the finest examples I have seen - EXCELLENT
CARD INSERT: The card insert is clean and white with non of the common 'foxing' spots - MINT
INNER SLEEVE: The original textured, thin paper lyric inner sleeve is in stunning condition with no marks, no wear and no splits. It has never housed the record (which is in a separate inner) and it's factory-fresh - MINT
