Condition: the condition for this item is noted as follows:

Outer sleeve: 1st press 1979 printed sleeve is very good plus (+) condition with moderate rubbing, creasing and edge wear in the soft semi-gloss finish card. This is a thin, flimsy sleeve! Mounted and framed this is unlikely to be visible and will make a superb artefact from the classic era Motorhead! (This copy is pressed by EMI limited).

Inner sleeve: plain inner EMI sleeve is in excellent minus (-) condition with moderate age yellowing, minor creasing, and a couple of minor stain marks.

Vinyl record: this is a rare first press and limited blue vinyl edition. This pressing has what look like pressing marks in the surface of the vinyl and would grade visually very good plus (+) condition on this basis. I have played the album through on a high-end Marantz deck and the vinyl played well with minor crackles into the lead in tracks of both sides with no pops, clicks or jumps.

Provenance:  Purchased via Omega Auctions Lot 263 in September’22 and will come with a redacted invoice highlighting authentication.
