FREE second album EARLY PINK RIM PRESS - NEAR MINT VINYL  

FREE

Title : Free     Label : Island     Catalogue No : ILPS 9104

Matrix : ILPS 9104 A-5-U / B-5-U     Pressing : UK Pink Rim

1970’s UK Pressing of Free’s second album, first released 1969.

This is an early pressing on superb original heavy vinyl, complete with matt gatefold sleeve and Island blue inner sleeve.

Vinyl: the record is in EX+ to Near Mint condition: no scratches or obvious markings. The vinyl has a sensational deep gloss - it is in wonderful condition. On playing the sound is extremely warm, rich and clear.

Labels: the pink rim Island label is completely clean, the white is bright, the colours are bold and the text is sharp. There are quite a number of signs of spindle wear.

Sleeve: the matt gatefold sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. The spine is firm with clear text and the whole sleeve is extremely solid. The white back has some discolouration. The inside of the gatefold has some foxing to the top edge. The front has a small area of paper loss at top right (presumably from a price sticker being removed) and a couple of other minor spots towards the right about a third of the way up.

Inner sleeve: has the Island company logo. It is free from tears but shows signs of handling/wear.
