I have just come across this in my roof whilst clearing out, and it's been there since 1990.

As I understand it's quite a rare item, and I have taken as many pictures as I can to afford assisting in the description.


The cover is not in great condition, and the initials of the original owner are written on the back, I assume this was in the days they were taken to music halls ! , there is a bit of staining to the edge and the adhesive tape has come away.


The inner sleeve is fully intact, with a few marks and creases, but I guess for a record that's fifty years old it's pretty good.


The record or vinyl itself is in very good condition, there are a few light marks which are difficult to show up on camera, but I have taken hi res shots and I think you can see the record outshines the condition of the cover and inner sleeve, it's the original first press according to online sources , with the gold lettering, feel free to message with any questions or if you need more info or indeed can offer more info on this iconic record please do !

please note on the 5th photo of the second side, its not a scratch its a rogue cat hair ! it has been removed ( the cat hair of course ) :-)
The Vinyl is in good condition, thank you for the questions and help, plenty of watchers and advice, but I have to let this auction run, and the reserve is very fair so I've been told :-)
