Description
Lovely first edition copy of Jazz by Queen, with poster still attached, glossy inner sleeve and embossed sleeve (front and rear).
There is a very small split at the top of the sleeve. There are also two marks on the rear that look like they were made witha black colouring pencil (photos taken to highlight).
Early original press, mastered at STERLING.
Play tested, sounds excellent.
"Jazz is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 10 November 1978 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker, the album artwork was suggested by Roger Taylor, who previously saw a similar design painted on the Berlin Wall.[7] The album's varying musical styles were alternately praised and criticised. It reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and number six on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart."

Includes also a glossy laminated printed inner sleeve. The "Jazz" name on both front and back are embossed.
Catalogue number EMA 788 (I) is stated on the inner sleeve.
It should be made clear that the poster was attached to the inner back gatefold (right edge).This back edge was sealed and the disc would be in the front gatefold. The poster could be viewed, still attached, by carefully folding out the poster. However it could be detached (permanently) by tearing the perforations.. Those that are loose have been separated from the sleeve in this way. The black and white inner sleeve is a thin very glossy card with rounded corners.
May also contain an additional portraits / lyrics poster (284mm x 428mm) [see photos]
Album written and recorded July/October 1978
