Original STILL SEALED 1ST Universal Records pressing from the UK (please note that these LP's were released from the factory not in shrink wrap but in the typical European fashion of an open or resealable plastic sleeve)

This LP was bought new by me and never played, the original booklet and LP have never been removed from the sleeve. (I bought several copies upon release). ALL INSERTS ARE ENCLOSED AND ASSUMED MINT - NOT EVEN REMOVED TO PHOTOGRAPH!

Cover grades NM-
Vinyl = MINT (sealed)

Grades are based on Goldmine standards with the addition of EX+ in between VG++ and Near Mint.


These LP's are from the personal collection of a serious audiophile, collecting with discernment for 35 years. More than 250 pieces of vinyl will be listed during the coming 3 weeks. Rock, classic rock, jazz, metal, prog, psyche, all in beautiful play grade condition. Including many SEALED, IMPORT & PROMO records. Always stored properly in a smoke & pet free environment. Strict attention has been paid to every aspect of collecting and listening to LP's. Quality is assured. Vinyl of this caliber does not come along everyday!
