UK first pressing, pink label with “i” logo With A//1 & B//1 matrix no’s.

The vinyl is clean with some shine but it does have some scratches and other light marks. I’ve played it all through on my Rega turntable and it played with deep rich sound, no jumps or sticking but with some crackle and soft clicks in places, mostly on the quieter tracks, although towards the end of side 2 track 1 there were a handful of louder clicks. If you don’t mind the occasional clicks & crackle then it’s still a decent listen thanks to the underlying quality audio but definitely not for the audiophile. Graded as Good+.

The vinyl has been cleaned on my pro-ject VCS record cleaning machine

The gatefold sleeve is in VG+ condition, no rips , splits or tears just moderate wear to edges & spine.

Please see photos.

Happy to combine postage with other LPs (Uk buyers only). During the pandemic I’m using eBay global shipping for international sales which does not allow combined postage)

If you have any questions please ask.

-----------------

Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject or Rega turntable.

If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.

Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.

Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
