Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

This First Pressing (indicated by the matrix and the red Apple label) is in great shape. There are no spindle marks which usually mean it hasn't been played. So, the cosmetic blemishes I refer to may be manufacturing related. The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams and a stiff spine. It shows edge and corner storage wear. The Seller got this new in 1970. It has been in storage for 47 years.
