This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
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 !
