My seldom played copy of Still offered in very good condition. Please see the pictures as they will tell you as much, if not more, than I can. This is not a perfect 'minter' but it is very good overall. There is some discolouration on the sleeve and on the labels that might brush up but nothing particualrly significant.
I believe it's a first press as the records are etched as follows in the run out grooves:-
FACT 40 A-1 TOWN HOUSE EG P3 THE CHICKEN WON'T STOP FACT 40 B TOWN HOUSE EG P3 (PLUS THE CHICKEN TRACKS) FACT 40 C-1 TOWN HOUSE (PLUS THE CHICKEN TRACKS) FACT 40 D-1 TOWN HOUSE EG P3 THE CHICKEN STOPS HERE
I spent a sunny afternoon indoors playing it through and didn't regret it at all - sounds great! Some surface noise but, in all probability, not much more than when it was new - and it's close to 40 years old. There'll no doubt be a 40th anniversary re-issue, but why not have a real one?
