SUPERB! RARE! SOME UK PRESSINGS OF THESE VINYLS WERE PRESSED BY THE PYE RECORDS TRANCO PRESSING PLANT AND APPEAR TO BE NORMAL BLACK VINYL BUT ARE IN FACT TRANSLUCENT DARK RED WHICH IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN VIEWED IN FRONT OF A BRIGHT LIGHT.....AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE PRESSINGS!! GENUINE UK TRANCO PRESS DOUBLE VINYL LP ON CASABLANCA RECORDS PURCHASED NEW BY ME WHEN RELEASED 46 YEARS AGO IN 1976/7 (OF THE 1975 ORIGINAL) IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS; CASABLANCA RECORDS DESERT LABELS WITHOUT KISS LOVE GUN LOGO AND WITH '(P) 1974' TEXT AND WITH 'MANUFACTURED AND MARKETED BY PYE RECORDS ATV HOUSE GT CUMBERLAND PLACE W1' PERIMETER TEXT WITH THE PYE LOGO NOT 'SHADED-IN'. / GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH POLYLINED DIE-CUT INNERS / 1ST UK PYE TRANCO PRESS MATRIXES. ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK TRANCO PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS.....
THE VINYLS ARE BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION GENERALLY EXCEPT FOR TWO VERY SMALL SCRATCHES (ON TRACKS SIDE 2 TRACK 1 AND SIDE 4 TRACK 1 WHICH I ONLY SPOTTED UPON CLOSE INSPECTION WITH A BRIGHT LIGHT) WITH OTHERWISE NO SCRATCHES BLEMISHES WARPS OR SCUFFS..VERY HARD TO FIND SIMILAR COPIES!! THE CASABLANCA RECORDS LABELS ARE IN AT LEAST EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINES. THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE TOGETHER WITH ITS ORIGINAL INNERS IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR SHELF WEAR AND NO EDGE SPLITS BUT WITH SOME TAPE RESIDUE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE BUT THIS IS NOT TOO SIGNIFICANT. THE SPINE IS EXCELLENT. NOT MUCH TO SHOW FOR ITS 46 YEARS!!
