Description
A rare opportunity to own this complete and original 1st UK press in near mint /excellent condition, Textured outer sleeve.
Printed inner sleeve with rounded corners.
Vinyl is translucent red when held against a strong light and also glossy and bright and it looks superb- with no blemishes nothing much to show for its age.
Note this version has runouts according printed labels and sleeve.
Side A is OUTSIDE (black label). Side B is INSIDE (white label).
But, to add some confusion, the metalworker, assigned "Outside" to B and "Inside" to A in the runouts.
Nevertheless the runouts reflect the actual track order.
