I purchased the LP still factory sealed on October 4, 2020 in hopes that it was an original early UK pressing. It was uncertain exactly what it  was. I personally opened the record and identified the A3/B2 matrixes with glee. It was when I was prepared to ultrasonically clean the album for 1st play that I noticed "Quadraphonic" on the label. Dismayed, I did ultrasonically clean the album, used a Milty static gun on both sides to neutralize static, slid it into a brand new Mobile Fidelity (MOFI)  inner sleeve and put it on the shelf. I do not have a quadraphonic cartridge/setup so I figured 'Why play it?' It has never been played. It does have a flaw on top of the inner sleeve and the top seam was separated already from glue drying up (see photos). The post card has a crease on the front (see photo). This is exactly how it was when I opened it. The black cover did not split cleanly as it is somewhat brittle (see photo). I put it in a clear record protector to avoid further damage. Will be securely packed for rough travel and shipped Fedex for free inside Continental U.S. only. Signature will be required. Thank you!!
