Comments:                1972 A&M release of Humble Pie’s first TWO albums released in England during 1969 on the IMMEDIATE Label, “Town and Country” and “As Safe as Yesterday Is”. Extremely RARE Sealed !!

                                                CONDITION  ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)

COVER:                    NrMT-

Comments:                Extremely clean “gatefold” cover displays sharp vivid colors with tight original factory shrink wrap. No ring wear beneath the shrink, No seam splits, No cut out marks, discount holes or bar codes. A bumped lower left corner and ever so slight foxing near the top left of the back cover (see photo), along with a very slight @ 1” separation of the shrink near the top opening side are the only minor flaws and mentioned for accuracy.

VINYL:                      Heavy “thick” vinyl, presumed MINT (Sealed)

Comments:                Catalog number indicates “First” Pressing “Tan” A&M labels – Not the Budget-line reissue of 1981, which had the catalog number SP-6009.

Please note:                This album is being listed and sold as a “Sealed” collectible LP. If the buyer decides to break the seal on the opening side, or any other margin of the album, I will NOT accept the return of the LP. Please know this in advance.

I am very conservative with my grading.  There is NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for multiple LPs won in the same auction cycle.  Payment is due within 72 hours of the end of the auction.  e-mail if you have any questions prior to placing a bid.  All of my LPs come with a protective poly album sleeve and will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard LP mailer, tightly wrapped in bubble wrap for added protection.

Shipping:  $4.00 Media Mail.  If you purchase multiple LPs in this auction cycle, please wait to make payment until I adjust the eBay invoice to reflect one shipping cost.

PLEASE NOTE:  I ship to the United States only!!  NO International bids will be accepted, no exceptions – I will NOT ship overseas.
