Cover: Original 1st pressing Garrod & Lofthouse 'Hipgnosis' designed MONO - SX 6258 cover with laminated front and unlaminated rear with triple flip-backs. No writings or doodles. However, the front cover has a 7" narrow tear across the front and the rear flip-back at the top has had the black laminate top layer torn off and has some ringwear - see photos.
Labels: Excellent. with no writings, doodles or stickers - see scans.
Vinyl: Not play tested. Has been played a lot in the past and has a number of marks. Looks to be in 'Fair' condition only - see photos and please read the 'grading' definitions below. Would benefit from a clean to bring up to its best but is unlikely to ever be an audio delight - hence the low starting price.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO RETURNS ON THIS ITEM - SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TOP QUALITY, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.
THIS IS A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE ITEM (VALUED AT £600 IN THE RARE RECORD GUIDE) BUT SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A COLLECTION FILLER ONLY AND IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY.
