THIS is your opportunity to add a gorgeous analogue vinyl ORIGINAL PRESSING to your collection!
AND to add to your enjoyment of being closer to the original studio master tapes than would be possible with any reissue - these other, cheap modern reissues were manufactured decades after the magnetic tapes were recorded, mixed and dubbed / duplicated.
Original pressings are closer to what was originally recorded back in the day!
The sound of the record labels' master tapes and production tapes does NOT improve over time, which is why the labels eventually digitize all of their music library when possible.

Visually graded vinyl LOOKS NEAR-MINT and the spot-checked sound is also NM and clean-sounding.

The original printed inner-sleeve has corner creasing and a few minor nicks on the top opening edge in the corner with the creasing, see photos.

The white promo labels are very clean too.
The dead-wax on both sides has the correct inscriptions, see the close-up photos.

The jacket looks VG+ due to some minor bin-wear on the tops and bottoms.

There's minor corner bumping and minor wear at the corner-points.
The spine and seams are intact.
Rear upper left corner has a GOLD PROMO STAMP.

The lower spine has minor (dry, not sticky) scotch-tape residue because the previous owner had taped a small catalog number to the spine.

The Gates Of The West side of the bonus promo 45 looks VG+ due to a light surface scuff across the first third.
It plays great and the scuff is inaudible.

The other side, Groovy Times, looks and sounds NM.

Both labels are clean, and this single is in a poly lined sleeve. 

Grading is conservative, using the traditional "Goldmine" grading standard, with a very bright light and checking from many angles. 

I will gladly combine shipping so that you get the most affordable cost. Contact me before paying, so that I can adjust your invoice. I've been buying and selling vinyl and CDs on and off eBay for decades.
