On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Jethro Tull called "Living In The Past" and is an ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Chrysalis labels!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  IT IS ONE OF JETHRO TULL'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1972 WHEN THIS DOUBLE LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (AS A GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING!), AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!!!!  AS A RESULT, IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH A 'HARD BOOK' GATEFOLD COVER (+ INTERNAL PAGES!), AND 1U/1U/1U/1U MATRIX ENDINGS!!!!

HOWEVER, THERE ARE 2 DETAILS ON THIS DOUBLE LP (AND ONLY 2 DETAILS ONLY!) - WHICH MAKE THIS DOUBLE LP COLLECTABLE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.  AND IF ONE OF THESE DETAILS ISN'T PRESENT (WITH DAMAGE) - THEN INTEREST IN THE DOUBLE LP IN THE FUTURE WILL BE VIRTUALLY ZERO.  OF COURSE, MANY PEOPLE COLLECT THIS DOUBLE LP FOR THE MUSIC, BUT MANY OTHERS WILL LIKE TO KNOW THAT THIS DOUBLE LP WILL BE WORTH MORE IN THE FUTURE AFTER THEIR ENJOYMENT OF THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP.  AND AFTER YEARS AND YEARS OF SPEAKING TO COLLECTORS ABOUT THIS DOUBLE LP - THERE ARE 2 DETAILS ON THIS DOUBLE LP THAT MUST BE PRESENT:-

FIRSTLY THE 'INTERNAL INNER SLEEVES' MUST BE UNSPLIT.  THIS DOUBLE LP NEVER CAME WITH INNER SLEEVES - INSTEAD IT HAD 'INNER SLEEVE PAGES' INSIDE THE COVER, AS PART OF THE BOOKLET.  THESE WERE ONLY MADE OF PAPER, AND SPLIT EXTREMELY EASILY.  EVEN INSERTING THE HEAVY RECORDS BACK INTO THE 'INNER SLEEVE PAGES' JUST ONCE, IS AN INCREDIBLE CHALLENGE, AS IF THE RECORDS ARE SLID LOOSELY INTO THESE BUILT IN INNERS - THEY WILL SIMPLY SPLIT THE BOTTOM EDGE.  PLUS AS THESE ARE PART OF THE COVER, YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE COVER WITH ONE HAND, WHILST INSERTING THE RECORDS WITH THE OTHER!!!!  LUCKILY THE 1 PREVIOUS OWNER KEPT THE 2 HEAVY RECORDS IN SEPARATE INNER SLEEVES - SO THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AVOIDED.  I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT ONLY 1 IN 10 COPIES OF THIS DOUBLE LP HAVE UNSPLIT INTERNAL INNER SLEEVES (AND THATS BEING GENEROUS!) - AND MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP VERY VERY RARE INDEED!!!!

SECONDLY THE RECORDS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION (THESE ONES ARE NM - AND PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE ONLY!).  IN NORMAL USE IN A DOUBLE LP - AFTER PLAYING 1 RECORD, IT IS SLID BACK INTO ITS INNER SLEEVE, SO THE OTHER RECORD CAN BE PLAYED.  YET ON THIS DOUBLE LP, BECAUSE IT WAS VERY AWKWARD TO SLIDE IT BACK INTO THE 'INTERNAL INNER SLEEVE', MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY LEFT ONE RECORD LAYING ABOUT WHILST THEY PLAYED THE OTHER ONE!!!!  SO IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AN AWESOME SET OF RECORDS LIKE THIS DOUBLE LP HAS!!!!

I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT LESS THAN 1 IN 50 COPIES OF THIS DOUBLE LP - HAVE AMAZING CONDITIONED RECORDS & UNSPLIT 'INTERNAL INNER SLEEVES' LIKE THIS ONE HAS, AND THESE IMPORTANT DETAILS UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE THIS THE ALL TIME RAREST JETHRO TULL LP EVER MADE!!!!

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1972 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS CHRYSALIS LABELS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1U/1U/1U/1U MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'INTERNAL INNER SLEEVES' (WHICH ARE PART OF THE 'INTERNAL BOOKLET' INSIDE THE COVER!), AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD 'HARDBACK BOOK' COVER (WITH INTERNAL PAGES!)!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL C\hrysalis UK 1st Pressing from 1972 and is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is CJT 1 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Chrysalis labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels to BOTH records are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL (ONLY ONE OR TWO PLAYS ONLY!)!!!!  The vinyl to BOTH records is in AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the records play 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!!!!  BOTH records must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The 'internal inner sleeves' (joined to the cover inside the gatefold) are both in SUPERB condition and completely UNSPLIT!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold 'Hardback Book' Cover (with internal pages & inners!) is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The Cover has NO sticker marks, barely ANY edge wear AT ALL, NO sticker tears, barely ANY spinal wear AT ALL (side words PERFECT!), NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO ringwear, NO creases (cover is PERFECTLY flat looking!), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  Even the inside of the cover (+ pages & inners!) is in SUPERB condition with NO wear, NO grubbyness, NO writing, and NO yellowing!!!!  And every page + the inners are completely UNDAMAGED!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
