Description
I bought this fabulous Import LP brand new, at the legendary Pantasia Records in New York City, at the time of its release & first shipment into the USA. It has always been handled & played ultra-carefully, by me only, and cleaned after each use. It has been archived in a clean dry room ever since.
Condition of the disc is absolutely superb, as it has only been played a handful of times in the 50 years I've owned it. Outer sleeve has those unavoidable signs of handling, with some corner wear and slight wear-ring on back, but no bottom tear, and no seam-separation. There's just a small (1/2-inch) tear on the spine, which is shown clearly in the photos. Colors are bright and vibrant on outer panels, and the surrealist inside gatefold art is mint, without even a figerprint.
Further proof of originality is the Italian tax stamp on side 2 label, and the plain white spine, bearing the evidence of a corrective sticker placed by the record company over the catalog number, which had a typo on the very first copies made. (DISCO: TRN 1004 was corrected to 'TRI' on subsequent later pressings).
Disc, in the original Trident plastic inner sleeve, will be packaged outside of the paper jacket to prevent any damage during shipping, and both will be placed together in a 4-mil plastic protective cover.
Please ask any questions you may have BEFORE BIDDING. Continental US buyers only, please. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
