℗ 1977 Virgin Records Ltd. 
This is not one of the "first 1000" and not one of the "SPOTS001" release. 
This is the Branson release. Most copies are sent to France to counterattack massive UK-imports from Barclay Records. They are also sold in the UK, Scandinavia and the USA (as seen on the photos, record was imported to the US through JEM Records). 
All three of the 11-track releases are prior to the 12-track main pressing release. 
Plain pink back cover, 11 tracks only. 
No poster, no freebie 7" included. 
Timing on tracks on labels. 
Production credits on labels reads;- PRODUCERS: CHRIS THOMAS & BILL PRICE 
EMI correctly credited to Glen Matlock

Record visually graded as VG+.  I don't see any scratches on either side.  Label is bright.  No flaws except for some dust/fingerprints on vinyl. I don't clean these nor do I attempt to but will let the new owner do it if they want.  The major issue with the record is that it has a name on the labels on both sides.  Without those and without  what I think are fingerprints, it could have been visually graded as Excellent.  I do not play these either as I don't have a good enough system.
 
Cover is graded at VG.  Nice and bright.  The issues on the cover are:  There is a price of 3.25 on the upper right corner in ink.  Minor dirt on cover.  Minor ring wear.  Spine has a little fray and minimal corner wear.  All these add up to a downgrade to VG and you can see these in the pictures.  If you can live with these, buy it!
Hard one to find.

Buyer to pay $5 USPS Media Mail shipping in the U.S.  I am not using LP mailers but my own custom made boxes to assure safe delivery.  Foreign buyers will pay the same to get it to the US shipping center and then pay an additional amount to get it to their respective country.
