ELTON JOHN S/ T ORIGINAL UK 1970 DJM RED / PURPLE TRANSLUCENT VINYL LP FIRST PRESS TEXTURED SLEEVE RARE!
Vinyl VG+ condition - very few plays, A4 / B1 matrices
A really top pressing of Elton's second LP - sounds superb! Full rich detailed first press audio!
The black vinyl is translucent mottled red / purple when held to the light - (colour depends on light source) making this a very rare and collectible edition of this iconic LP .
Later pressings were simply black vinyl.
The soft card textured Gatefold cover is in VG condition with some corner scuffs, seam scuff at top and small name written in biro on rear
The textured sleeve was only issued with the very early pressings.
Vinyl is housed in the original generic off white poly lined inner sleeve VG with discoloration and wear, and poly has come loose
Will be very well packed - sent in record mailer with card stiffener
Free local collection from BN2 or will ship worldwide
Combined shipping discount offered for more than 1 LP
All sensible offers considered!
Due to a house move I am reluctantly downsizing my large collection of vinyl LPs - mostly bought at the time of release and have had minimal play as I taped them back in the day and listened mainly on cassettes. I always tried to buy the earliest pressings and made sure all the extras, inserts, booklets, limited edition covers etc were included.
Stored upright in a dust and pet free environment they are now ready to move on to a new collection.
UK BUYERS - I can send up to 3 single LPs for the same shipping cost - £4.50 or up to 6 single LPs for £8.50 so if you're interested buying a few, please let me know when you make your first purchase so I can hold off packing and sending - to save you big on the shipping. International shipping discounts also available, please ask.
