Hi.
For sale here today is my original copy of the Jethro Tull album Benefit.
Both the sleeve and the vinyl are in EXCELLENT condition save for the sleeve having for 3 or 4 very very minor marks along the bottom edge.
It's important to point out that the matrix code denotes that this is genuinely one of the very earliest pressings of this album. A previous seller of one of these correctly pointed out that there was no A//1 B//1 issue.
It plays through both sides without any crackles or jumps.
I'm not going to go into the whole debate about the white/pink i thing as if you're in the market for this extreme rarity you'll know exactly what you're looking at and it's history.
Might also be worth mentioning (which no one seems to on the odd occasion when one of these are listed) that's it's a bloody great album by one of the best bands ever.
Well, there you have it. I can't really think of anything else to tell you but if you have any queries or would like photo's of specific areas of the sleeve or record please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll be more than happy to oblige.
UK mainland shipping only unless by prior arrangement BEFORE buying.
Thank you for reading
