THIN LIZZY    Shades Of A Blue Orphanage

1972 UK Decca LP. An unusual one this! This is the best copy I have EVER seen, a perfect sleeve and a nearly

               untouched album. BUT... having seen a few copies with the green Decca label and many with the

               familiar blue label this one has a BROWN Decca label which I have NEVER seen another copy.

               I have consulted Jan Petterson's "Labelography" which has incredibly in depth information on all

               the major labels from the 50s-70s and there is absolutely NO mention of Decca ever having released

               anything on a brown label! The sleeve is the original "This stereo record can be played on mono..."

               and the records matrix numbers match up to others I have noted as sold as first pressings.

               This album has become increasingly sought after recently but this is not only unusual but near perfect

               for your FINAL UPGRADE.

                PLEASE ALSO NOTE NEW POSTAGE RATES,

             PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS YOU AGREE, NO EXCEPTIONS

STRICT GRADING, bid with confidence.

condition:

            record: EX+ (NO scratches & NO spindle marks. Near perfect surface and perfect labels. Under EXTREME

                               light just the faintest of lines probably from sliding out of the inner bag. UNBEATABLE!

                               As mentioned above these labels are on the BROWN Decca label.

                               Matrix numbers: ZAL-11209-P2/ZAL-11210-P3

                               Plays beautifully also with no interference. Comes in its Decca poly-lined inner bag. STUNNING!)

            sleeve: NM  (Practically unbeatable! No point going into much detail on this one as it is practically as new.

                               This is an unlaminated gatefold Robert Stace sleeve. Apart from ONE minor, barely noticeable

                               corner crease on the back, this sleeve is perfect. That is to say all aspects of the sleeve are as

                               new. Pefect crisp and clean front, back and gatefold inner, not even a spine crease!

                               The spine and all edges are crisp and perfect also.

                               Please note the opening edge is NEVER guilloteened!!

                               There is no writing or stickers on the record or the sleeve.

                               A great chance to own this increasingly rare album in TOP condition. STRICTLY GRADED)

record sent in strong mailer with card stiffeners in for added protection. Record is sent packaged separate to sleeve

                        and in a poly sleeve.
