Early Budgie albums are increasingly collectable, especially UK 1st pressings, and this is their very first on the MCA red and pink 'dogbone' label.
The sleeve has some bending to two corners, general spine and edgewear, a pen mark and a small sticker on the front, and some ringwear to the back. It grades VG to VG+.
The vinyl has plenty of marks, scuffs and hairlines, so visual grade would be Good+ but after a deep clean it plays closer to VG/VG+ with a few tics and some surface noise at times. Still an enjoyable listen though, and the music overpowers these flaws much of the time.
The red and pink labels are in excellent shape with very little wear.
It's housed in a recent poly-lined white inner sleeve.
This is a rare find, and has the first pressing matrices:
Matrix / Runout (A-side runout stamped): 7-LNMG-240-1L Matrix / Runout (B-side runout stamped): 7-LNMG-241-1L.
No poster. 99p start and no reserve! Sensible offers welcome, if you're quick.
