Description:

This is a different sleeve (opening edge is different) from all you've seen recently on eBay!
You can check the biggest difference on top of the pictures of all the past auctions, like these:
190060035027
260060982444
160062038799
The record is in near perfect conditions, just very light hairlines that do not affect playing so no pops, no skips, nothing at all
(well, to be 100% perfect there's one light pop at the 1st second and another light one at the last second).
The sleeve show some sign of the age and is in very good over all conditions.
I tried to show on pictures 1) & 2) the small defects (some creasings),
so you can see them clearly.
Note that on opening edge of the front cover there's the big difference from usual sleeve.
Unfortunately on the back someone kept off a small part of paper
(so it seems that front and back sleeves are the same, but it wasn't).
I've never seen this sleeve before so I guess it's much more interesting than the usual one. Any idea?
If you need more informations, please write!
No reserve

Italian: il disco è in condizioni pressoché perfette. La copertina è diversa da quelle viste ultimamente su eBay in quanto è "svasata" ovvero il lato dell'apertura è sagomato, come si vede dalla foto (1).
Il retro della copertina invece è stato sagomato, togliendone un pezzettino (foto 2).
Come da foto (1) ci sono alcuni strappetti sulla copertina, che ho messo bene in evidenza per correttezza. Per il resto non ci sono altri segni di rilievo, come da foto completa. Le etichette sono perfette. Se ci sono domande, non esitate!
Grazie e buona asta

The Artist:

The Sex Pistols were an iconic and highly influential English punk band, formed in London in 1975. The band originally comprised vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock (later replaced by Sid Vicious). Although their initial career lasted only three years and produced only four singles and one studio album, the Sex Pistols have been described by the BBC as "the definitive English punk rock band."
The Pistols are widely credited with initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and creating the first generation gap within rock and roll.
The Sex Pistols emerged as a response to what was perceived to be the increasingly safe and bloated progressive rock and manufactured pop music of the mid-1970s. The band created various controversies during their brief career which captivated England, but often eclipsed their music. Their shows and tours repeatedly faced difficulties from authorities, and public appearances often ended in disaster and riot.
Their 1977 single, God Save the Queen, released to coincide with the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, was widely regarded as an attack on the British monarchy and British Nationalism.
The group broke up in 1978 amid a turbulent tour of the United States, but reunited in 1996 for the "Filthy Lucre" tour, and have staged subsequent reunion tours in 2002 and 2003.
On 24 February 2006, the Sex Pistols were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but they refused to attend the induction, calling the museum a "pi** stain. (from wikipedia)

Record Collector Grading System, i.e Mint 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. 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, discoloration, etc. Fair The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerablesurface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced
