DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  S 69038  A1  ::  S 69038  B1 (S 65640 B1 CROSSED OUT) .

ON THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS ORANGE CBS  WITH 'STEREO <---> ON THE LABEL ::  S 69038 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL DIE CUT FLIPBACK GATEFOLD, WITH ORIGINAL ACETATE SHEET INSIDE THE DIE CUT OPENING, WITH INTERNAL OPENING EDGE, PRINTED, UNIPAK BY SHOREWOOD PACKAGING Co Ltd, ENGLAND. SOLID FULLY READABLE SPINE WITH JUST A FAINT BIT OF RUB ON THE SIDE EDGES, AND REALLY NOTHING MUCH AT ALL. THE TOP AND BOTTOM HAVE NO ISSUES, AND THE INTERNAL OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. ON THE OTHER SIDE EDGE, THERE IS CELLO TAPE THE FULL LENGTH, LOOKS LIKE THE WAS A SMALL SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY AGE RELATED LIGHT MARKS, NOTHING NASTY, AND A SMALL TEAR ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE DIE CUT OPENING, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A VERY SOLID :: VG+ .  

VINYL ::  PLAYS FANTASTIC AND WILL CERTAINLY NOT DISAPPOINT, AS THERE IS NOTHING NASTY ON THE AUDIO.

JUST TWO VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE END ON TRACK 3. WHILE ON SIDE 2 A FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 1, A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC, BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 4.

VISUALLY VERY NICE AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, NOT THE BEST LOOKING, AS THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND SOME LIGHT SHADOW SPOT MARKS. NOT MANY SO NO WORRIES, AND LOOK LIKE THEY WERE FROM A POLYLINED INNER, SO LIKE A RASH LOOKING AFFECT, AND ARE TOTALLY HARMLESS, AND SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL AFFECT, RATHER THAN AN AUDIO AFFECT. I HAVE JUST NOTICED A VERY SMALL EDGE WARP, AND AGAIN NOTHING SERIOUS, AND HAS NO AFFECT WHAT SO EVER ON THE AUDIO, BUT HAS TO BE MENTIONED, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ .  

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LIGHT SPINDLE LINES SEEN WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

`

ORIGINAL BLUE POLYLINED ISLAND INNER :: NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, BUT I DO NOT THINK IT IS THE ORIGINAL, AND IT ALSO HAS SOME MODERATE AGEING. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG .  

A GREAT ALBUM, AND CLASSIC MOTT THE HOOPLE, AND I THINK MY FAVOURITE "MOTT THE HOOPLE" ALBUM. PLAYS AS DESCRIBED AND SOUNDS GREAT, AND DO NOT FORGET THOSE COSMETICS AS DESCRIBED. IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE READ THEN YOU WILL E HAPPY WHEN YOU PLAY IT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE !!!!

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
