Description

First pressing of this classic lp - rounding off the first bout of wire. Although a first pressing - correct matrix markings and rounded corners of inner does not include the bonus ep which was only issued with very early copies.
Please study description carefully. You are not getting a brand new record but something 40+ years old which will show wear to sleeve and inner. Record visually appears vg but surface marks and finger marks are present. If in any doubt ask for more photos or pass on by as returns are a pain.
