Cover art is by the great Rodney Matthews

I bought this at The Record Peddler in Toronto Canada which specialized in UK imports back in approximately 1982. Album has been kept in a plastic sleeve it's whole life and hence the cover is in Mint condition; beautiful glossy condition with no rubbing. The vinyl itself is in MINT condition also; no scratches, skips, etc. I played it again for confirmation just prior to creating this listing.

Shipping - Buyer pays exact shipping costs; no additional fees are charged. See below for more details based on your location in the world:

-For Canadian Buyers, this will be shipped via Regular Parcel. A tracking # and insurance will be provided.

-For US Buyers, this will be shipped via Small Packet Airmail.  A tracking # and insurance is not provided with this method.  If you would like to pay for a more expensive method which includes tracking  and insurance, please contact me. 

-For International Buyers (everywhere outside of Canada and the US), this will be shipped via Small Packet International Surface mail. It’s the least expensive method, but it’s very slow and does not include tracking or insurance. Typical delivery times are 6-8 weeks for the UK/Germany etc., with places like Australia and others being closer to the 8 weeks. Faster methods are available, some with a tracking # and insurance, but they are VERY expensive. If you would like to pay for a more expensive method, please contact me to discuss.

Payment: I accept PayPal only.

Thanks for looking, (and even more for bidding!) Please check out my other auctions for more vinyl; I will combine items for shipping if buying more than 1 record.. In many cases, adding another record will not make a huge difference in shipping costs.
