Queen - Self Titled - Debut Album

Original 1973 Vinyl LP - EMI Records.

Rare 1st Press. Variant 1 - See notes below.

Sounds fantastic!

The vinyl plays really well and is in very good used condition, with a few light hairline marks.

Occasionally some minor surface noise is evident on side 2, only rarely in soft passages and the gap between songs, it does not overpower the music otherwise. The original Matt medium card outer sleeve is showing its age but overall is in very good condition.

This variety was issued with a generic EMI inner sleeve, which is present and in very good condition.

A great sound, a great Album.

Please see all the attached photos.

I'm very happy to combine postage!
