This 1971 1st UK pressing has all of the following charatceristics..

Garrod & Lofthouse textured (on both sides) non-gatefold cover - later pressings were not textured. Plain black and white cover with no red or pink text - later pressings had 'Relics Pink Floyd' in coloured text. The spine is lightly 'pinched' at both ends. EMI black and white Starline, Regal, Talisman 'ads' inner sleeve. A1/B2 matrix numbers - there were no A1/B1 matrix releases of this record The labels have "The Gramophone Co..." text around the perimeter - later pressings have 'an EMI...' text. The labels have "Made in Gt Britain" below the EMI logo at the base of the label - later pressings omitted this text. Thick heavy duty vinyl - later pressings used  lighter vinyl. 

 

Cover: These 1st pressings textured covers are very hard to find in nice condition. This one is Near Excellent with no writings, doodles or seam splits - see photos. 

 

 

Inner sleeve: Comes in the original non poly-lined EMI Starline black & white 'ads' inner sleeve which is Excellent+. This original inner sleeve is impossibly rare and hardly ever turns up with the LP.  

 

Labels: Excellent+ - no writings, doodles or stickers. 

 

 

Vinyl: Not play tested but looks to be in Near Excellent condition. Lightly played and well cared for. Might benefit from a light clean before playing to bring up to its best - not played for around 30 years.

Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches.

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and more significant scratches.

Bad - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
