Earliest Stampers
Cover: Robert Stace 1st pressing non-gatefold cover. Laminated front and unlaminated rear. No writings, doodles or seam splits. The bottom half of the front cover has faded - see photo. I'm not sure if this is a pressing flaw or whether the cover has been left in the sunlight and faded. Light laminate creasing. The front rates as
VG(-) due to the fading but the rear is Near Excellent for its age - just some minor marks. Rates as VG overall.
Inner sleeve: Comes with the original poly-lined inner sleeve which is Near Mint.
Labels: Excellent. No writings, doodles or stickers.
Vinyl: Looks Good with quite a few marks. Play tested. No jumps or skips on my system.There is some crackle on the run-in at the beginning of each side. There is also some occasional crackle and some pops/clicks in places throughout the record - mainly noticeable between tracks and during quieter moments. Plays much better than it looks and rates as VG for playback. Still sounds great!! Not anywhere near mint but still provides a highly listenable experience. Your chance to get a very rare record at a low starting price.
POSTAGE: £4 (UK) £8.50 (EUROPE - signed for) & £10.50 (REST OF THE WORLD - signed for)

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and more significant scratches.
