Super playing copy of this 1974 UK 1st press from Sparks - easily one of their finest albums, packed full of hit singles, clever lyrics and imaginative arrangements.
The laminated sleeve is in excellent condition - just a little wear to the corners.
The vinyl plays really nicely with minimal surface noise and no pops or tics that I noticed - it's a nice clean copy with just the odd hairline, and grades excellent.
The Island pink rim labels are also excellent.
The original picture inner sleeve is in solid shape with a seam split to the bottom edge and grades VG+.
I've included plain white inner sleeve from the early 70s in solid VG+ order, which the vinyl is housed in.
Fantastic album - should be a copy in every record collection, my ears reckon!
