Issued by Island Records on 16th June 1975..ILPS 9378..UK pressing in a non laminated sleeve The disc is in fantastic condition..It looks like it has never been played...It has that sheen of virgin vinyl and it has no scratches or scuffs.. It plays as well as it looks..It plays MINT..No clicks or pops and a clean and undistorted sound that just bursts out of the speakers.. The disc plays flat on the deck with no edge warps or dishing.. The labels are undamaged with bright colours and untarnished text..They look like they came out of the factory this morning!..There is absolute minimal spindle wear... The sleeve is EX minus..White sleeves tend to show every tiny ravage of time!..This sleeve has a little ageing and it has a little dischape.
