THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1978 UK 1ST  PRESS :: A//5  T  ::  B//5  T  .
ON THE CHARISMA MAD HATTER  LABEL  ::  CDS 4010.

COVER ::  ORIGINAL GATEFOLD WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH JUST A BIT OF LIGHT RUB ON THE TOP RDGE AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS AND A BIT OF VERY FAINT RING WEAR ON THE BACK. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES, SO A VERY NICE CLEAN GATEFOLD, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: EX- .  

VINYL  ::  LOVELY AUDIO, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN IN A MINUTE. VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL HAS QUITE A FEW  COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A SMALL SLIGHTLY FEELABLE HAIRLINE ON THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 1. I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE ON THE AUDIO JUST A FEW FAINT TICKS. 

SIDE 1, THERE ARE TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1, THERE IS A TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2, AND TWO FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 4,  AND ON TRACK 5 SIX FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END AND FOUR MORE AT THE END, AND A COUPLE ON THE RUN OFF.

SIDE 2 HAS FAINT AT THE END OF TRACK 1, AND THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 2 AND TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 4.

WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED PLAYS WITH NO AUDIO ISSUES, SO AS YOU CAN SEE JUST A FEW FAINT TICKS, AND IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN YOU PLAY IT. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG+/EX- . BUT MUCH NEARER TO EX- !!!!

LABELS ::  JUST A TINY BIT OF WRITING ON LABEL ONE, AND A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. WOYLD HAVE BEEN A STRONG EXCELLENT, BUT WITH THE WRITING  :: VG+ .  

POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A FOUR TINY TEARS ON ONE SIDE OF THE OPENING EDGES, AND TWO SMALL TEARS AT THE CENTRE CIRCLE, SO  :: VG .

A GREAT ALBUM, AND CAN'T BEAT A BIT OF GENESIS, AND VERY NICE AUDIO AND AS DESCRIBED. THERE ARE ALSO THOSE COSMETICS BUT OVER ALL A GREAT VINYL TO ENJOY !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
