Description

Please study pics


UK ONLY


The third disc - Pink Moon and Bonus Tracks - has a heavy warp - I’ve tried to take a pic - see last pic. It’s included in the sale - and you might be able to fix it, put more pressure on your needle etc - but I don’t have the patience, genuine know-how nor would want to (put extra pressure on my needle)


I’ve really no idea how this has happened. I’ve owned the box - after buying second hand in 2007... I’ll blame a random previous flatmate! Ha!!


So hence starting price of £25


It’s a pity as the disc itself is NM -apart from the warp. Discs 1 and 2 are NM/EX+


The box - please see pics - has minor (ish) defects. The most obvious is the decolourising(?) of the left hand side and spine of the box. This was like it when I bought it.


The inner artwork sleeves are NM, the booklet is EX+ (just a couple of light creases, see pics), and the inner genetic black polys are VG+ (easily replaceable)


The box is from 1979 so hence has Island pressings from that year - I’ve always thought this box a good deal as Nick’s earlier pressings and go for astronomical fees... And I prefer pressings from before the horrible digitisation of the 80s onwards (if I can afford it!! Ha!)


I’m basically selling this box to buy another one!

Any questions, please do shout.


Item will be sent in strong mailer (with stiffners) and 1st class standard post - unless otherwise stated by the buyer. I will obtain proof of postage at the Post Office.


Good luck!
