Most records i sell are excellent having been lovingly collected and cared for over the years. Some have 'issues' but still have merit and this is a classic example of the latter. Vinyl great ; outer cover has problems! No postcards but does have tattered original receipt !
Overall Condition
This is an opportunity to gather up a copy of their classic album with the very very first matrix numbers and all the appropriate etchings in the run off - haven't seen any sold with with all A1 B1 C1 D1  numbers most are mix of 1 and 2, offered at a very modest start price for a first press to reflect cover issue detailed below- given mint copies go for £'00's....i shall let collectors decide the value here   Vinyl is great but see description below for details and also the pictures
Vinyl Ex  The records, all sides, retain their shine and have only a few light hairlines and few paper marks, I have used a carbon fibre brush but nothing more. all sides play through without any issues and have a full sound which is a treat to listen to. Never been deep cleaned.
Labels  VG+ All four are free of any blemishes or marks, each has some spindle marks but only really seen under light when tipped
Outer Cover G  The outer cover is a bit sad really the spine has been repaired with sellotape and is quite 'frayed' with heavy shelf wear to top and bottom edges. It is the original gatefold with single compartment for both records and a wide spine.  TM Musidor  Shorewood packaging credits 
Inner Covers Ex The inner cardboard covers are fine and solid. Records housed in generic white paper liners within nthe inner cardboard covers 
All items graded using the ebay guide as below but please do view the pictures for details and if you wish for any others I will try to respond to request. 
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint; EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing; VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable; GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc; FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced; POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing; BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
