This record was recently bought off eBay selling because I need some cash.

I have used the previous owners description and photos with his kind permission.

Vinyl Condition: VG++


The record is very clean and glossy. There are the usual light hairlines, signs of light use, which don't affect sound quality. Play tested on a Rega Planar 3. Plays with excellent audio quality. 


The condition of the labels is VG. 'Outside' is nearly perfect, but 'Inside' is marred by the previous owner's signature.



Sleeve Condition: VG


Textured sleeve. Sticker removal tear. Creasing to the opening and dints. Previous owner's signature in biro on the inside.



Inner Sleeve Condition: VG+


Slight age related foxing.



 •Very rare Tranco first pressing with textured outer sleeve.


 •Printed inner sleeve with rounded corners. 


 •Labels have a "double dip" with the elevated ring close to the runouts.


 •Vinyl is translucent red when held against a strong light.



Please refer to the photos for a better indication of condition.



Graded to Goldmine Standards as far as possible, but any grading is subjective.
