Please read the entire listing from start to finish to avoid any misunderstandings

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have been a buyer of vinyl records on Ebay and elsewhere online for quite some time so I know well all pain and frustration the buyers get due to incorrect or misleading descriptions of records provided by some sellers (even 100 % positive - my experience) that unfortunately becomes an increasing problem on Ebay. So my description is made from a buyer`s and not from a seller`s standpoint. My goal is to sell and make purchase pleasant to a buyer otherwise why buy music.

An ABSOLUTE RARITY and SO HARD TO FIND the 1st pressing of the 1st self-titled album by AUDIENCE. These days you can hardly see this gets on surface. So now it is a UNIQUE opportunity to become an owner of this RARITY. It has been in my collection for years and been well taken care of. I have tried so hard and recently managed to upgrade it for insanely huge amount of money so this one goes up for sale to really please someone else by owning this great album. There is NO OTHER WAY to let it go away.

1969 UK STEREO 1st PRESSING on the POLYDOR LABEL under catalogue # 583065 with a matt flipback cover complete with the UK Patents Applications polylined inner sleeve that is in Near Mint condition.

The cover is in VG+ condition given its fragility - please see as many pictures uploaded as ebay allowed. The pictures speak for themselves. I have tried to visualize as many flaws to the cover as possible. It has no seam splits, unnecessary spots or writings. A few creases and edge and corner wear as well as a bit worn at entry of the vinyl. The spine is fully readable. This is the condition I once purchased it on and since then kept it in a strong polythelene sleeve to prevent further deterioration.

Overall this is a very decent example of this fragile and sensitive matt cover. 

The vinyl is visually in strong EX condition having just surface hairlines not affecting play. I have played it in full prior to listing and overall playback is excellent with nothing but some background noise in quiet places not at all irritating. Certainly NO jumps, skips or pops. My conservative play grade is EX. 

The Polydor labels are in excellent condition having signs of long storage. There are some spindle hole marks visible under strong halogen light. 

This record is a definitive keeper until ultimate upgrade condition is found but be prepared to pay quite an amount of money for it !!!

Grading is based on the Record Collectors Grading System.
