A GREAT COMPLETELY ORIGINAL COPY OF ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. THIS COPY HAS ALL ITS ORIGINAL INSERTS AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. COPIES IN THIS CONDITION DON'T COME AROUND TOO OFTEN. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET A GREAT COPY OF THIS 38 YEAR OLD CLASSIC.THE DETAILS...
THE SLEEVE: VERY FIRST UK PRESS 'MIDNIGHT BLUE' GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE RARE FIRST PRESS PURPLE STICKER. BACK COVER HAS 'SHVL 804 (IE 064-05249) STEREO' IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. INSIDE GATEFOLD HAS 'PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LTD' IN BLUE TEXT IN LOWER LEFT CORNER. SLEEVE IN GREAT CONDITION, ONE OF THE RARE FIRST PRESS 'BLUE' SLEEVES. THESE 1ST PRESS SLEEVES ARE FAR MORE MATTE THAN GLOSS (THE LATER ONES ARE MORE GLOSSY) THIS SLEEVE HAS NO WRITING, NO TEARS OR RIPS. GREAT INNER GATEFOLD. NO MAJOR ISSUES JUST THE SOME LIGHT MARKS & LIGHT EDGEWEAR. GREAT FOR A 38 YEAR OLD! - EX- SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS.
INNER SLEEVE: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS PLAIN BLACK POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH WHITE PATENT TEXT (SUBSEQUENT PRESS CHANGED TO WHITE INNER SLEEVE). THESE OFTEN SUFFER FROM SEAM SPLITS (OFTEN ALL 3 SIDES DUE TO THE DELICATE NATURE OF IT) THIS INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS AT ALL AND THE LINING IS INTACT. NO WEAR OR OTHER ISSUES. A GREAT COPY OF THIS DELICATE INNER. EX+. SEE PICTURES.
VINYL: 1ST PRESS A2/B2 MATRIX NUMBERS. WITH VERY RARE EARLY MOTHERS TOO! - BOTH SIDES FROM THE 2ND MOTHERS WHICH I HAVE FOUND TO BE QUITE RARE - THE MAJORITY OF THESE SOLID TRIANGLE PRESSINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN USE THE 5TH OR EVEN THE 7TH MOTHERS ESPECIALLY ON SIDE 1. SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE (ONLY PRESENT ON FIRST PRESS - CHANGED TO BLUE OUTLINE ON SUBSEQUENT PRESS TO IMPROVE LEGIBILITY), GRAMOPHONE RIM TEXT (ALSO ONLY PRESENT ON FIRST PRESS). FULL GLOSS LIKE NEW SHINE. VINYL HAS SOME SCUFFS & MARKS BUT THEY PLAY FINE (some fairly non-obtrusive clicks on the track breathe in the air), NO SKIPS OR JUMPS, GREAT AUDIO BETWEEN TRACKS, THE TRACK 'US AND THEM' WHICH IS OFTEN THE TESTER FOR THIS ALBUM PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY - MUCH BETTER THAN SOME VISUALLY NEAR MINT EXAMPLES I'VE HAD. VISUALLY GRADES AT VG BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY PLAYGRADES AT LEAST EX. SEE PICTURES.
LABELS: BOTH SIDES PERFECTLY CLEAN, NO WRITING, NO MARKS, NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR. SOME SPINDLE TRACES. EX. SEE PICTURES.
POSTERS: 2 ORIGINAL POSTERS - 1 BLUE PYRAMID POSTER AND 1 GROUP POSTER WITH SHVL 804 IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NEAR MINT. SEE PICTURES.
STICKERS: 2 ORIGINAL UNUSED FASPRINT PERMANENT CRACK BACK PATENTED STICKER POSTCARDS WITH DARK BROWN 45 DEGREE ANGLED LINES ON REVERSE (SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED TO REMOVABLE STICKERS DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED MAINLY TO SCHOOL DESKS!). NEAR MINT - SEE PICTURES.
I WILL BE GRADUALLY LISTING SIMILAR RECORDS FROM MY COLLECTION IN THE COMING WEEKS. PLEASE CHECK BACK - SOME AMAZING STUFF TO COME. ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED. ALL RECORDS WILL BE SENT IN PROFESSIONAL MAILERS WITH TWO STIFFENERS BY RECORDED OR SPECIAL DELIVERY. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING. POSTAGE WILL NEED TO BE SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR THIS ONE AT £7.50. OVERSEAS BIDDERS WILL NEED TO PAY FOR A SIGNED FOR DELIVERY SERVICE WITH THE APPROPRIATE INSURANCE.
