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 Australian pressing on the orange Parlophone label from 197? with STEREO text above the boxed logo at the top, original poly-lined inner sleeve stamped in the left hand corner at the bottom, laminated front cover with the thread on John's jacket airbrushed out and YEX 178-3 / YEX 179-3 the complete respective matrices on sides 1 and 2!!!  I have been collecting for 40+ years and never seen this variant before.  There isn't a single entry for this pressing anywhere in the massive, sprawling Discogs database whatsoever.  Supremely rare.  LP side 1 is VG with some light scuffs and side 2 is VG+/VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.  Cover is a nice VG with a small 1" split at the bottom middle.


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
