Nazareth, Rampant

Nazareth, Rampant.

Original 1974 England pressed Mooncrest Records stereo LP, CREST 15.

Features embossed detail to sleeve and picture inner. Has the "dollar bill" wrapped around sleeve and neatly slit open at entry side. Some discographies list this as a separate sticker. However, I am not so sure that this issue may have been produced with the sticker already affixed to the sleeve. I've seen many copies of this LP for sale which have this sticker moreorless in the same place and it seems a bit of a coincidence that so many previous owners would affix this sticker this particular way.

Earliest A-1U/B-1U matrix suffixes. Track "Jet Lag" misprinted as "Jet Jag" to label.

Visually EX, glossy but with some superficial hairlines. A couple of scuffs to the B1 run-in, not affecting the track else fully tested playback is close to near mint.

Penned "R" to both labels.

Inner VG, neat approx.two inch centre seam split to bottom edge. Minor disc impression.

External sleeve VG minus. Overall bright and clean, but dragged down by a slightly scuffy two inch seam split at head of spine. Top right corner a little creased, slight knocking to other corners. Else edges are fairly well preserved and main panels are bright and clean with just a little gum residue at the top corner of the "dollar bill" to front panel.
