Description
THERE ARE TINY SPOTS ON THE DISC AND A FAINT SCRATCH ON THE SONG 'BE YOURSELF', SO I PLAYED THAT TRACK, LISTENING THROUGH HEADPHONES, AND DIDN'T HEAR ANY CLICKS. I HAVEN'T PLAYED THE OTHER TRACKS AS THIS IS MORE OF A COLLECTOR PIECE THAN AN ALBUM TO BE PLAYED.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE WORSE FOR WEAR, WITH CREASES, A TEAR AND A SLIT ON ONE SIDE (WELL, TWO IF YOU COUNT THE OPENING). IT'S A PRINTED SLEEVE FULL OF INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE YOUR TURNTABLE AND HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RECORD.
THE OUTER GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS COMPLETE AND STILL GLUED, BUT HAS WEAR ROUND THE EDGES AND A STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRONT.
I BOUGHT THIS IN THE EARLY 1980'S FOR £22 (RATHER A LARGE SUM IN THOSE DAYS) FROM A STORE JUST OFF OXFORD STREET, ON MY WAY TO SEE HAWKWIND AT HAMMERSMITH ODEON. THE PRICE STICKER IS ON THE INNER SLEEVE.
I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I ENJOY COLLECTING HAWKWIND, MY FAVOURITE BAND BY FAR, BUT I REALISE I HAVE ABOUT A DOZEN VERSIONS OF THIS ALBUM ON VINYL AND A FEW ON CD, I THINK IT'S TIME I CUT BACK A BIT AS I'M MORE INTERESTED IN PLAYING THE MUSIC THAN COLLECTING DIFFERENT EDITIONS NOW, I MAY AS WELL PASS THIS ON TO SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO COLLECT, WHILE I PLAY MORE RECENT PRESSINGS.
MY POSTAGE CHARGE IS FOR SMALL PARCEL BUT I WILL POST BY FIRST CLASS RECORDED DELIVERY
