NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1978 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS UNITED ARTISTS LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'BEIGE' & 'WHITE' EXTRA 45s, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 2 CARD INSERTS, 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'PINEPOINT' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL United Artists UK 1st Pressing from 1978 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is UAK 30222 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press United Artists label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 TINY hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT RECORD!!!!  The 2 'Extra' 45s (one White and one BEIGE!) look AT LEAST Excellent+ if not better - but do play with some background sound (which I am guessing on coloured vinyl was there from new?)!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Lyric' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition (NO Splits!)!!!!  THE 2 TINY CARD INSERTS ARE BOTH IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'PinePoint' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO splits, barely ANY edge wear AT ALL, NO spinal wear (side words PERFECT!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO rubbing, NO sticker marks, and NO writing (apart from the ULTRA rare GENIUNE 'signature' that is!)!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, only 2 VERY faint TINY residue traces, NO yellowing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
