  • 1977 UK Holland Press on Casablanca CALD 5004
  • No Barcode 
  • Sought-After Translucent Red Vinyl, visible when held to light. 
  • Truly outstanding condition for a 40 year old Vinyl.

Condition:

Audio Test: NM-  Audio Technica Deck and Studio headphones

  • Some occasional light  crackles and low level background noise on gaps/quiet parts of songs. 
  • Fantastic sound quality and the Analogue mastering is great. 
Visual Inspection Bright Lights NM- 
  • Very small number of very light hairlines only. 
  • The kind from careful handling and cleaning on a record that has been played only a handful of times.


Visual Inspection Bright Daylight: Looks Mint  


Vinyl Labels: NM 

  • Bit of spindle-wear, but you see this on even brand new Vinyls. 


Outer Sleeve: NM-


•  1977 UK Presses of this album have Matt covers and are prone to marks and wear. This is in fantastic condition and has obviously been kept in a plastic sleeve and out of sunlight since it was bought. 

• As you can see in the pics, this cover is in outstanding condition and has been kept in a plastic sleeve all its life. 

• Reasons I've not graded 'NM' - There is light wear on the top and bottom edges from storage. The spine is near-mint with all writing perfectly visible. Tiny (millimetres) bit of wear on the corners. Front bottom left corner has a slight bend

• Inner Gatefold - also in outstanding condition.  


Shipping & Payment 


• Well packaged in stiff, thick card mailer + Stiffeners for protection. 

• Vinyl removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits 

• I combine shipping cost for multiple purchases - please contact me to let me know before paying - happy to work out a personal shipping estimate and quite for multiples :)  

• Please note: eBay and PayPal combined charge me about 20% fees on shipping, so unfortunately I have to pass this on. I don't make money on shipping.
