This is an original 1972 US pressing of the album #1 Record by Big Star, on Ardent Records ADS-2803. The vinyl is in excellent condition (EX), and the cardboard sleeve is included. This LP features high-fidelity stereo audio and includes the original cover. The album is a pop rock classic from the 1970s and is a must-have for any vinyl record collector. The catalog number is ADS-2803, and it is a first edition, first pressing. This is a promo punch copy, and the record label is Ardent. The record size is 12 inches, and the speed is 33 RPM. The color of the vinyl is black, and the sleeve grading is very good plus (VG+). This LP is a great addition to any rock music collection.


This album comes from my personal collection of rare rock, punk and indie records purchased around the world since 1985.



I purchased this album NOS and was the first person to play it and since then it has only been played a few times on a high end LINN LP12 or Rega Planar. The sound is amazing.
