Here is another rare classic LP from my personal collection. I have always been meticulous in caring for my vinyl records, storing them in plastic covers, playing them only on quality equipment and never lending them out.

I'm fairly sure this is a first pressing as I bought it within two months of its 29/3/74 release.

Cover -  I have kept this album in a sturdy plastic sleeve for 42 years so the cover is in virtually new condition with no wear evident at the corners or edges. Back in the '70s I often wrote the date of purchase discreetly on my album covers; you can see this in the photo of the back cover.

The inner sleeve is a standard poly-lined white paper sleeve bearing care and usage advice.


Disk - I would describe the disk as pristine. There are no scratches or marks.

Matrix numbers (and other lead-out groove markings):

ILPS 9275 A - 3U (SARC, R A)

ILPS 9275 B - 3U (Sean & Ray, P/R, R P)


Labels - also pristine, no stains or marks.


Thank you for your interest. This item will be sent by tracked courier in a new sturdy custom-made 420gsm cardboard mailer with 'fragile' sticker and 12.5" square corrugated cardboard stiffener.

N.B. £20 compensation cover is included in the £4.50 postage price. Additional insurance is 50p per £10 cover so please add this to your payment if you require it.
