Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Brain Salad Surgery, Orig UK Manticore G/fld LP, EX/EX+! Description

Original UK Manticore stereo 1st press LP, with the poster and company inner!
This 1st pressing was released on November 19, 1973 in both the US & the UK at the same time. US copies had -F stampers on both sides, UK copies had G- stampers on both sides. The US disc and the Atlantic "Rock 4" inner sleeve were imported back into the UK and housed in the UK first edition sleeve with the catalogue number K53501 and the Manticore logo distributed by WEA Records Ltd on rear. Below the Manticore logo on the sleeve, there is a mis-spelled "Manicore" credit. This was corrected on the later, non-hybrid, 100% made in the UK release, which had vinyl made in the UK.
 

The matt gatefold sleeve is intact & in EX condition, with some light edge/storage wear on the outer cover. The spine is intact and fully readable, the company inner and poster are intact & in EX condition.   The record is in visually EX+ condition, with only one or two faint & wispy sleeve removal hairlines visible under bright light on each side. The labels are in EX+ condition, clean & bright with no evidence of spindle markings.   The sound reproduction is EX+, still clear & precise throughout with no loud pops or crackle & definately no skips, sticks or jumps, with just some very brief background noise during the run in grooves, overall a really great, loud and clear listen!!   The matrix nos. are; ST-MC-732991-G-AT-(SC), ST-MC-732992-G-AT-(SC). This is one of the very earliest copies of the 1st pressing of the original 1973 UK stereo issue of this album!!
