Close to the Edge YES

THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PROG ROCK ALBUMS EVER PRODUCED, FROM ONE OF THE GREATEST PROG ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME. ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1972, AND IS THEIR 5th ALBUM, BUT PLEASE READ BELOW, THANK YOU !!!! !!!!
YES WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND I THINK NEED NO INTRODUCTIONS, AND THIS EPIC ALBUM, COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, IS FULLY COMPLETE AND PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, THIS PRESSING REALLY HAS ME STUCK, SO UNSURE OF THE RELEASE DATE, BUT I AM 99% SURE IT IS BETWEEN 1972 AND 1975 !!!! FIRSTLY ALTHOUGH THE COVER IS A GATEFOLD, AND HAS THE TITLE AND BAND NAME ON THE FRONT, OUTLINED IN SILVER, THE SAME AS THE EARLIEST COVER, BUT THIS COVER IS FULLY GLOSSED, AND NOT TEXTURED LIKE THE FIRST COVER. IN THE RUN OFFS IT HAS A1 / B1, SO SHOULD BE THE EARLIEST PRESS, BUT ON THE LABELS IT HAS THE WARNER LOGO'S IN THE RIM TEXT. ALSO ON THE LABELS, IT HAS, 'MANUFACTURED IN THE UK', AND NOT AS EARLIER LABELS, WITH JUST, 'MADE IN UK. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THE NORMALLY GREEN LYRIC INNER IS WHITE ? BUT I DO KNOW ONE THING, AND THAT IS, IT IS IN SUPERB ALL ROUND CONDITION !!!!
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 1972-1975 UK PRESS   :: K 50012-A1  IS  'EG'  :: 2K 50012-B1  IS  'EG' .

ON THE GREEN AND ORANGE ATLANTIC LABEL  ::  K 50012 .
COVER  :: ORIGINAL FULLY GLOSSED, AND IN AMAZING CONDITION, AND WITH NOTHING TO MENTION I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX+ .BUT SO MUCH NEARER TO EX+, SUPERB EXAMPLE !!!!

VINYL  ::  NOW IT GETS BETTER, AS THE AUDIO PLAYS LIKE A DREAM WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, STATIC, CRACKLE, CLICKS, OR POPS !!!! JUST TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1, ON SIDE 1 !!!!

VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SO WITH AMAZING AUDIO, AND VINYL, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS ::  BEAUTIFUL, NICE AND CLEAN :: EX+ .

ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER :: WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS, AND AGAIN SUPERB, BUT WHITE IN COLOUR, INSTEAD OF GREEN, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: EX/EX+ . 

YES IT IS ALL TRUE, AND IT IS AS DESCRIBED, AND PLAYS SUPERB !!!! STILL PUZZLED WHEN IT WAS RELEASED, BUT AS MENTIONED MUST BE BETWEEN 1972 AND 1975, AND IS AN AMAZING ALBUM, AND CERTAINLY A MUST HAVE FOR ANY PROG ROCK COLLECTION !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE .
