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.


WILDLY RARE Warner Brothers UK pressing on the palm tree label from 197? with Warner logo in the rim text at 2:00!!!  Cover is fully laminated with original stamped inner sleeve!!!  Release year is unclear as there is not a single entry for this pressing anywhere in the massive, sprawling Discogs database whatsoever.  I have had well over 10 UK pressings of this LP pass through my hands in my 40+ years of collecting and I have never seen this label variant.  Whatever year it was released there were obviously not many pressed.  This is a rare one so don't sleep.  LP is a gorgeous near mint minus and cover is VG+ with a small fray spot on the spine.  A VERY nice copy of this rarity.


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING:  
MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
