T2 SELF TITLED
ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS, PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER AND ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL !!!!

THIS IS ONE VERY RARE ALBUM TO FIND. IT IS HARD TO FIND THE 1970 UK REPRESS, BUT TO FIND AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE !!!!
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAY ASK ? WELL NOT A LOT REALLY BUT THE MAIN THING IS THE BAND NAME, 'T2' DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LABELS ON THE 1ST PRESS, AND ON THE REPRESS THEY DO !!!!
HERE IS A VERY RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AMAZING PROG ROCK ALBUM, FROM, T2 WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1970, AND THEY INITIALLY LASTED ONLY UNTIL 1972. THIS PLAYS WELL BUT HAS SOME TICKS WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. THIS IS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
I WILL BE AWAY ON THURSDAY 3rd AUGUST UNTIL THURSDAY 10th AUGUST, THERE WILL BE NO ONE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, SORRY 😥. IF YOU NEED SHIPPING PRICES, PLEASE LOOK AT THE MAIN BIG PHOTO AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING, AND BOTTOM RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE...POSTAGE : AND TO THE RIGHT, CLICK ON 'See details'. THEN IN THE, 'Change country' SEARCH BOX, TYPE IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE SHIPPING COST 😃👌!!!!

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 1970 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  ZAL 9702 P-4W ::  ZAL 9703  P-2W .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH EARLY STAMPERS :: 1  i :: 1  M .
ON THE BLUE DECCA 1ST PRESS LABEL, WITH NO 'T2' ON THE LABELS :: SKL 5050 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY MOORE & MATTHES Ltd, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST SOME VARIOUS SIZED LAMINATED CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BACK HAS A BIT OF RING WEAR, AND TWO PEN MARKS (PLEASE SEE PHOTO' THANK YOU). THERE IS NOTHING ELSE AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .  

VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS WELL AND PLAYS WITH NO CRACKLE, SKIPS, STICKS, OR JUMPS, JUST SOME FAINT AND LIGHT TICKS.

THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS VINYL, AND THAT THERE ARE A FEW MORE TICKS THAN I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE ON A VINYL, I WILL GIVE YOU A DETAILED AUDIO DESCRIPTION BELOW .....

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS TEN FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START ON THE INTRO, SIX VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND FOUR MORE A LITTLE FURTHER ON.

TRACK 2 :: JUST HAS A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START .

TRACK 3 :: HAS SEVEN FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 (THIS IS ONE SINGLE LONG TRACK ):: HAS TEN LIGHT TICKS AND THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START, FOUR FAINT TICKS A BIT FURTHER IN, FOUR FAINT TICKS BEFORE THE MIDDLE AND FOUR IN THE MIDDLE, AND FOUR MORE AT THE END.

NOW I KNOW IT SOUNDS A LOT, BUT REALLY IT IS THE VERY START OF TRACK 1 WITH ANYTHING OF NOTE, BUT HONESTLY THE AUDIO IS VERY ENJOYABLE, AND IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, THEN YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY IT WHEN YOU PLAY IT !!!!

VISUALLY, SIDE 1, HAS SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND ALSO A LONGER COSMETIC HAIRLINE. THERE ARE ALSO TWO TINY THIN SCUFF LINES ON TRACK 1, AND ONE IS VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE.

SIDE 2, ALSO HAS SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A LONGER COSMETIC HAIRLINE, AND A SMALL VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE THIN SCUFF LINE AT THE START OF TRACK 1. THERE IS ALSO A VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE HAIRLINE THAT RUNS WITH THE GROOVES IN THE MIDDLE ALSO ON TRACK 1. THESE DO HAVE A SLIGHT EFFECT AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, BUT REALLY MORE OF A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT.

SO TO SUM UP, THERE ARE SOME COSMETICS, AND A COUPLE OF SLIGHTLY FEELABLE ONES AS DESCRIBED, AND THE AUDIO PLAYS AS DESCRIBED, AND ONCE AGAIN, IT DOES PLAY WELL, AND I HONESTLY ENJOYED IT.

NOW FOR THE TOUGH PART, THE AUDIO GRADE. I AM JUST GOING TO PLAY IT SAFE, BECAUSE MOST OF THE AUDIO PLAYS BRILLIANT, AND GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG/VG+ .

LABELS :: NO ISSUES, JUST A FEW SPINDLE LINES :: EX .

ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE POLYLINED INNER ::  WITH NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: VG+ .

A VERY RARE ALBUM INDEED, AND A FULLY COMPLETE UK 1ST PRESS WITH NO, T2 ON THE LABELS. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT AND FAINT TICKS AS DESCRIBED, AND IT STILL IS VERY ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO. NO RESERVE AND SILLY LOW START PRICE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE .

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

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 !
