THIS IS A 1ST PRESSING ON THE ISLAND PINK WITH THE WHITE "i" LOGO DESIGN LABELS IN STEREO-THERE WERE NO MONO ISSUES FOR THIS LP AND THIS ONE ALSO HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A//1+B//1 MATRIXES AND HOUSED IN THE EARLIEST DESIGN "TEXTURED" EFFECT GATEFOLD COVER THAT WAS SOON REPLACED BY A MATT DESIGN GATEFOLD COVER. THERE IS MUCH THICKER VINYL THAN LATER REPRESSES! ILPS 9127. LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH ONLY A FEW ULTRA TINY AND FAINT WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.THERE IS JUST A LITTLE CRACKLE AND A SHORT LIVED CLICK AT THE ULTRA QUIET OPENINGS OF EACH SIDE AND A FEW ISOLATED FAINT "POPS" AT THE OTHER QUIET PASSAGES AS WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY COPY THAT SURVIVES BUT THAT IS AT VERY HIGH VOLUME AND BEING MEGA-STRICT AND AS SUCH THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION. BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE! NO SPINDLE WEAR. VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL  POLYLINED ISLAND "i" LOGO INNER SLEEVE. THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A LITTLE STAINING AND VERY SLIGHT EDGE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED.

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.   THERE ARE MORE PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs FROM ME ON EBAY FOR AUCTION WITHIN AN HOUR OF THIS AUCTION ENDING!.ALTHOUGH I AM STATING RATES FOR STANDARD 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR/STANDARD AIR MAIL WITH NO INSURANCE-FOR PEACE OF MIND AND AS THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE,I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEND THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IN A SAFE,SOLID PARCEL BUT PERSONAL COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH IS WELCOME AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
