Description

I have had this disc in my collection since new - It has only had very little play. The sleeve has the slight blue tinge to it and the label shows the famous solid light blue prism. 
SHVL BC4 A-2 and  SHVL BC4 B-2 matrix stamps appears clearly in the runout area.
The disc has been play tested throughout. The Vinyl is shiny black, There some signs of play and some visible marks on the vinyl, nothing deep, and nothing to cause any skips, jumps or sticks. 
There are a few pops and small crackles on the very quite intro section on side 1, the intro to "Time" is quiet. Overall there is nothing that detracts from a really enjoyable quality listen. I very much enjoyed hearing it again on an Audio-Technica deck.
This first edition was initially pressed by The Gramophone Co. Ltd., you can see The Gramophone Co. Ltd. on the label at the 10 o' clock position. then from July 1st, 1973 by its legal successor, EMI Records at the same plant. 
The International E.M.I. catalogue number 1E 064 o 05249 appears in small font and parentheses on the cover rear.

Inner sleeve is a distinctive polythene lined die cut black semi-matte paper with white printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [1125555/1072844] and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' bottom right.

There is a small amount of shelf wear on the bottom left corner and the edges as is clearly shown in the photos. There is also a small rip on the back cover again there is a photo showing that.
It has a gatefold sleeve. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together. Mentioned as variation 1 of three sleeve options on the first pressing.

There were several variations of sleeves, posters and stickers, my copy only ever had the two stickers and the 1 poster with it.

Contains both original poster which are unused and excellent and 2 sticker set, which are excellent examples (see photos)

I think, from seeing what else is on offer out there this is a very fair price
