THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1973 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS ISLAND LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1U/1U MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE (I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS LP - BUT THE INNER IS PLAIN BLACK & 'POLY-LINED', AND LOOKS ORIGINAL), AND 1ST PRESS 'MacNEILL' GATEFOLD COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Island UK 1st Pressing from 1973 and is in AWESOME condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is HELP 16 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Island label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in AMAZING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only 1 TINY spindle trace!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  Now because the record has 2 or 3 ULTRA faint storage hazing traces (only visible under the BRIGHTEST of lights!), I will only grade the record Excellent+ if not better to be extra cautious!!!!  However, this record plays SUPERBLY throughout, and I am VERY certain that most people would grade this record MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in what looks to be its ORIGINAL 1st Press Black inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition - with NO splits, NO writing, and still FULLY 'poly-lined'!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'MacNeill' Gatefold Cover is in absolutely AMAZING condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear (STUNNING edges with NO wear and PERFECT colour!), NO spinal wear (PERFECT white colour & side words!), NO splits, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (virtually ZERO and NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, NO ringwear, absolutely NO RUBBING AT ALL, NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, NO annotations, ad NO writing!!!!  I will also say that this cover has barely ANY creases AT ALL (virtually ZERO - and cover is PERFECTLY flat looking!) - but actually I CANNOT SEE ANY CREASES AT ALL - and I am only saying that to cover myself (in case there is a microscopic one somewhere!)!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AMAZING COVER AND I KNOW I WILL NEVER EVER SEE A BETTER ONE!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
