This album is part of a private collection bought on release by the owner. It has been played literally a hand full of times on very high quality equipment, and then spent the rest of its life safe on the collection. A really superb example of this extemely collectable item.
The Labels : The Black B side label is unmarked, with just the trace lines of spindle placeing, visible on very close examination. The A side Swirl is the same, you can count how may times the record was actually played. The colour and print is pristine, ans show no signs of handling.
The Record: This is again superb with no scratches, play or handling marks. The vinyl itself is gleaming. Under very bright light there are a few thin lines visible from manufacture or removeing from the sleeve.
The Inner Sleeve: This is original (see above) and has yellowed over time (see photos).
The Outer Sleeve: The construction of the sleeve means that the spines of the sleeve have been slightly flattened, losing a precise 90 degree on the sides. the spines are only lightly worn. The surface of the sleeve is glossy and intact but has some slight raising of the laminate on the back right side, though this is unbroken. Due to the design of the flaps the is some wear on the corners. In all, in very good condition, and in character with its age, and light use.
The Poster: Superb, unmarked, has remained untouched in the sleeve all its life.

This is a very fine example of this most sought after edition, complete, and cared for by the original owner. Good luck with the bidding!
