Hi there, presented here is a terrific example of a first DAY UK issue of the Jimi Hendrix LP,  "Loose Ends".  Released on Polydor, catalogue no. 2310 301.  This bears the absolute first day stampers of 232020A/10411 and 232020B/1111!!  Macneil sleeve, matt.  Later issues were by a different printer and were gloss.  So, here's the condition:-
The LP itself:-  EX+.  Lovely sheen to both sides.  Only light surface marks.  Plays with low noise.  
The sleeve:-  VG+.  This is close to EX in my opinion.  All print is clear and vibrant.  No writing or tears.  All edges are true.  There is wear to the opening edge areas, but not a lot.  Title spine is proud and fully readable.  Minimal edgewear.  
The Labels:-  EX+.  Very clear print and nice lustre.  No writing.  minimal spindle wear.  
Inner sleeve:-  VG.  "Plastic Bags" text, poly-lined inner.  Normal wear and crease as to be expected.
Overseas postage is £14, International signed for.  Thanks!
Thanks for looking, always appreciated and never taken for granted.
