UK release
Catalogue DJLPH427
Matrix No's DJLPH427 A2 B3
Grading:-
Record VG+
Sleeve VG+ - laminated no ringwear
Note, many would grade this record as near mint, the record plays as close to mint as it gets. Check out our detailed photos. Slight hairlines under bright light that do not affect play.
Comes with a fantastic full size pictorial lyric book in near mint condition, no loose pages.
When looked at under normal light this record looks like any other black record but it's secret is revealed when a bright light is shone through it to reveal it's translucent colour of blue. This confirms this is a very early pressing, later pressings did not have this characteristic.
Also this is the more rare colour, tte majority were pink/purple translucent.
A fantastic well looked after copy of this record which appears to have had very little play with a sleeve that shows little sign of wear.
All of our records are machine cleaned and come with a new anti-static poly liner slipped inside the original inner to stop dust re-infection
