First Pressing
Red and Plum label with Superhype publishing credit
Grey stripe to the base of the cover

The record plays really well (I was blown away by it's clarity - paticularly the intro to 'Your Time is Gonna Come - but then I have only just got back into listening to vinyl!) There are some minor light surface scratches with a one more visible scratch at the start of side one but the record doesn't jump or stick.
The labels are bright and vivid and, crucially, not written on.
The cover is sound with no splits and the images are bright. There is some kind of ink bleeding stain to the bottom on the back with a tiny section also on the front. It doesn't appear that it has ever got wet so I don't know what this stain is though it is very much part of the cover rather than anything on the surface.
Overall a great copy of this record which seems to be getting harder to find - most copies for sale seem to be the second pressing with the 'Warner bros.' credit. This is the true first press with credits to Superhype and Jewel music.
Good luck if you decide to bid - Free postage and will be carefully packed in a purpose built cardboard cover.
