NOTES:
The Gramophone Co. Ltd. appears at the beginning of the circular text on both labels - later copies have 'EMI Records' instead.

Initial quantities came with a lyrics insert printed in purple on both sides - and this was discontinued in 1973.

All 1st pressings come in a 'polylined' EMI/Harvest inner sleeve depicting other artists' current releases on the Harvest label.
This inner was discontinued in 1974.

Date code 7109 (September 1971) and printer’s credit on inner gatefold.

                                                                 CONDITION:

RECORD: EX+ to NM-

The vinyl is in fantastic condition,the black is still rich and glossy just few very light micro hairlines .Sounds great both sides,Test played, Plays clear

COVER: VG+ to EX

Wear to corners and edges,creases

INNER SLEEVE: EX

LYRICS INSERT: EX+

Vinyl Grading System:

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (EX) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death
