Super Mono 'wide spine' copy of Jethro Tull's debut album from 1968. This is one of the better copies I've seen over the years and getting rarer in this condition. Matrices are ILP+985+A/ILP+985+B, indicating a very early if not first pressing.

Gatefold sleeve Ex Outside laminated with internal flipbacks and wide spine. In great shape throughout, light wear only.

Labels  Ex Rough-textured. Moderate spindlewear. Very clean indeed. No writing.

Inner  VG Original polylined bag? Creasing and handling marks. Pen marks in top right hand corner (price?).

Record  Visually Ex-, nice condition with some light hairlines and scuffs. There is a more visible hairline running lengthways on Side 2 Track 1 which doesn't affect play. Playgrade is VG+/Ex- overall, clear and powerful audio with a fair amount of crackle throughout.

I grade all records strictly using the 'Record Collector' guide.
