'Close To The Edge'
1972 - UK - 1st Pressing  

Matrix:
Side One: K 50012 A1 ⋀ 
Side Two: K 50012 B1 10 ⋀

Cover: NM
Fully textured inside & out.  Apart from some paper scuffing at the top 
front corner, there is not a blemish to be found.  The GF is super clean and razor-sharp. 

Inner: EX
Original green lyric sleeve.

Vinyl: EX++
Glossy sheen. Has lost none of its original luster. Runouts
have the correct A1/B1 matrices. There is a small superficial scuff on 
Side 2 which is not audible.  A few incidental superficial spider lines.

Labels: NM
Labels are the correct Atlantic first-issue version which do not have the Warner 'W' at three o'clock, nor 'Made in the UK' under the word 'Stereo'.

Playback: NM
The audio quality is exceptional. A few seconds of surface noise exiting the dead wax on Side 1 which quickly fades. The album plays virtually distortion-free throughout.  Play Grade: 9.5/10

For those seeking a top audio copy, in gorgeous condition.
