Serial number: SHVL 804

Matrix numbers: A-2 / B-2  

Stamper codes:  OH 2/ GH 2 (kind of difficult to tell. See pictures)

Condition:

Great condition! The vinyl has one very faint mark on Side 1, but I would not consider it a scratch and it should not affect the playback. I did not even notice it until an extremely close inspection - the vinyl is stunning! The vinyl is glossy and clean with a deep-sheen throughout. The vinyl grades NEAR MINT 

The label has a noticeable crease on Side 1 (see pictures) and faint wear, but no rips or obvious spindle trails

The 1st press 'midnight blue' tinted sleeve with large purple sticker grades EXCELLENT  with only light signs of handling/storage, very nice indeed! 

Both posters have no tears, but do show signs of being on display.  VERY GOOD 

Both postcard stickers have the red PERMANENT on the back. Both are unused, but have a crease where they were caught in the spine of the gatefold sleeve VERY GOOD  

The black poly-lined inner has no splits, the lining is fully intact, no tears or marks, NEAR MINT! 

A superb condition all-around, complete 1st UK press set.
