An excellent copy of the very earliest UK pressing of Free's amazing debut, ILPS 9089. Main identifiers are: Rough textured pink label with black and orange "eye" design. (The texture isn't really evident in the photos, but it's obvious on sight.) Matte gatefold cover with Ernest J. Day printing credit on the back. Inside cover mistakenly credits drummer Simon Kirke as "Simon Kirk." Machine-stamped matrix A2/B2 The vinyl is excellent. There is a slight dish and a touch of sleeve wear, but neither has a notable effect on playback. No scratches, scuffs, etc. The cover is excellent as well, with the only minor flaw being a touch of edge wear at the outer edge of the front panel (see photo #3 above).
