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 1969 EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS :: 588198 AV2  ::  588198  BV2 . 
ON THE RED PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL :: 588171 .

COVER ::  THIS IS THE EARLIEST GATEFOLD, WHICH IS VERY LIGHT BROWN IN COLOUR, WITH THE BLUE/GREEN SPINE, SO NOT LIKE LATER COVERS WHICH WERE DARKER BROWN WITH NO BLUE/GREEN SPINE, PRINTED AND MADE BY E.J DAY & Co LONDON W.11. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID WITH SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. THE SPINE ALSO HAS SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR, BUT THE BLUE/GREEN SPINE IS VISABLE WITH SOME OF THE TEXT, SO PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS THANK YOU. THE FRONT AND BACK HAVE SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUB, AND AS FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON NEARLY ALL THESE EARLY ZEP 2 COVERS HAVE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND I THINK IT IS BEST TO SEE ALL THE COVER PHOTOS, FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU !!!! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG/VG+ . 

VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS OUTSTANDING, AND EVEN BETWEEN ALL TRACKS, THERE IS NO STATIC, CRACKLE, JUMPS, STICKS, SKIPS, POPS OR CLICKS, AND ALL I HEARD WAS .....

SIDE 1 :: TWO VERY FAINT HARD TO HEAR TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 4 . TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START AND THREE VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 5, AND THEY ARE VERY FAINT, SO NO WAY INTRUSIVE !!!!

SIDE 2 :: PLAYS WITH NOTHING TO MENTION,JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK ON THE RUN IN !!!!

VISUALLY, AFTER THAT AUDIO DESCRIPTION, YOU WOULD BE SUPRISED TO LEARN THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETICS SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT.

SIDE 1 HAS QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL AND TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A SMALL COSMETIC MARK, AT THE END OF TRACK 1, ANOTHER AT THE END OF TRACK 2, AND ANOTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 5.

SIDE 2 ALSO HAS QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL AND TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINES.

NOW THESE ARE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, SO REALLY JUST HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT, AND IN NO WAY AN AUDIO EFFECT, AND IF YOU JUST PLAYED BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE VINYL, THEN YOU WOULD NEVER THINK THEY WERE THERE, SO AUDIO WISE SUPERB, BUT VISUALLY QUITE A FEW HARMLESS COSMETICS, SO IF YOU ARE HAPPY ABOUT THE VISUAL SIDE OF THINGS, THEN YOU WILL CERTAINLY ENJOY THE SUPERB AUDIO, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX/EX+ . COULD HAVE GONE EX+,  BUT I AM GOING TO PLAY ON THE SAFE SIDE, AND GRADE EX/EX+, AWESOME AUDIO !!!! 

LABELS :: AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, REALLY NICE, SO I WOULD GRADE  ::  EX .  

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: THIS IS IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH NO SPLITS OR WRITING, AND THE VINYL OF COURSE WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: EX- .  

SO TO SOME UP, ORIGINAL EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITH, "WRECK" ON THE LABEL, EARLIEST LIGHTEST BROWN GATEFOLD WITH BLUE/GREEN SPINE, AND ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER, SO FULLY COMPLETE. THE AUDIO PLAYS AMAZING, BUT THE VINYL DOES HAVE QUITE A FEW HARMLESS COSMETICS, SO ONE RARE ZEP CLASSIC, CERTAINLY NOT TO BE MISSED !!!! 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 ! 

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
