Original UK first pressing. I have checked the information below and this album has all of these first pressing hallmarks. Please do your own research.

The vinyl looks superb. There's barely a mark on it and its lovely and glossy. The record has been play tested throughout with no hops, skips or jumps. There are some soft crackles and a couple of pops dotted around on both sides. I didn't find this in any way intrusive to a very enjoyable listen. I nearly kept this one for myself but I need the space for other music.

Jacket:

First pressing details:

Embossed gatefold.

Track A1: Listed as "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)" on the record labels but listed as "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to......" on the back cover and inside the gatefold.

Track A3: Dedicated to Johnathan Harris, boy racer to the end.

The jacket is structurally very sound with no creases to the edges or spine. There are some marks on both sides and some ringwear on both sides too. The front of the jacket has evidence of wear there were two price lables (remarkably sugesting that, at some point, this has a price reduction when it was new WHAAAAT? Really!). Top left corner on the back has a scuff where it looks like something was rubbed off it. See the photos for more detail.

I believe this to be a UK first pressing. I have researched and checked all of the hallmarks of a first pressing and this album has all of them. Please do your own research though.

Packaging:I use the Discogs recomended method for packaging. The record will be left inside its inner sleeve but removed from the outer jacket. Then, the outer jacket and record will be placed along side each other in a Spincare polythene UV resistant protective outer sleeve. This method helps to prevent ringwear, indentations and seam splits in transit. I use brand new stiff card record mailers and recyclable plastic outer mailers (made from recycled plastic) to keep your record protected from the elements just in case Mr Postman leaves it outside your door. All possible precautions will be taken to ensure your record arrives in the condition advertised.

Grading:I don’t provide a record collector grading as this is so subjective and differs greatly from collector to collector. Instead, I give a fully detailed, frank and honest description backed up by clear photos so that you can grade the record yourself, according to your own requirements. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have.

Postage:I use Royal Mail second class in order to keep the delivery cost down for the buyer. I add on 75p to cover the cost of protective sleeves and packaging.

Customer Service:Buying and selling records is my hobby not my profession. It comes from a huge love of listening to music and being a musician myself. There’s nothing better than sitting down to listen to a great album on vinyl. I want everyone who buys music from me to have the same experience, so I work hard to ensure that every detail of my description is honest and accurate. For this reason I’ve never had a return or a complaint, ever. But, just in case, if you do have a problem of any kind with your order please let me know immediately so that we can resolve the issue to your satisfaction.
