Ian Matthews Tigers Will Survive 1972 Vertigo 6360 056 VG/VG First Press
This album was purchased from new by me. It plays very well with no skips or jumps. There is a little surface noise on the run ins and run outs and the odd click here and there but nothing to distract too much from the music.
Matrix numbers are 6360056 1Y//1 420 1 1 1 and 2Y//1 420 1 1 1. I believe this is the first UK pressing.
The textured gatefold picture sleeve is in very good condition. The spine is uncrushed. There is a little ring wear. There are rub marks on the edges and on the top part of the front cover.
The original Vertigo inner is intact with no splits or tears but yellowing shows its age.  I’ll include a new Goldring Exstatic anti-static inner.
I’ll send the album by Royal Mail Standard Second Class in Lil CLP rigid cardboard protective packaging specifically designed for vinyls.
