PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP


RARE PCS 7175 UK pressing of this forever slept-on psych gem from 1978 on Parlophone's black label with white EMI logo at the bottom on the rear cover and Garrod & Lofthouse credit in the bottom right hand corner!!!  LP is a gorgeous VG++/NM-.  Cover is still in the original loose-fitted shrink wrap and beautiful.  Even has the original $10.00 Rolling Stone Records (represent, Chicago!) price label on the cellophane in the top left hand corner on the front cover with IMPORT text at the bottom and iconic balloon lettering.  An absolute high grade copy with airtight provenance that can be traced to the exact point of purchase.  THIS is what collecting is about.  You will not be disappointed so don't sleep psych collectors.
