BLACK VINYL, AND NOT TRANSLUCENT RED !!!!
YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THIS LP FROM BEFORE. IT HAS BEEN RELISTED AS THE WINNING BIDDER DID NOT PAY, OR EVEN COMMUNICATE ???? !!!!

THIS IS THE AMAZING DEBUT ALBUM FROM MR SIR ELTON JOHN. THIS FIRST PRESS IS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT WAS RELEASED IN 1969, AND IN FACT 9 DAYS AFTER LED ZEPPELIN RELEASED THEIR FIRST ALBUM !!!! ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT IS THAT THIS ALBUM WAS NOT RELEASED IN THE U.S.A UNTIL 1975.  I MUCH PREFER EARLY SIR ELT AS THE MUSIC HAS A SORT OF 60's PSYCHEDELIC FEEL TO IT !!!! THIS IS FROM MY VINYL COLLECTION, AND THE AUDIO PLAYS AWESOME. THE COVER IS SOLID BUT HAS RUB, BUT ALL WILL BE REVEALED BELOW !!!! 
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

ORIGINAL 1969 UK IST PRESS  :: A2-<> H  ::  B3-<> H .
ON THE DJM RECORD LABEL :: DJLPS 403 .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL TEXTURED FRONT AND BACK 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY E.J DAY & Co, Ltd, LONDON, W.11. BEFORE I DESCRIBE THE COVER, I MUST POINT OUT, THAT THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN MONO, SO WHEN THE STEREO ONES WERE RELEASED THEY HAD LOTS OF MONO COVERS LEFT OVER, SO INSTEAD OF MAKING NEW STEREO COVERS, THEY JUST PUT A STEREO STICKER OVER THE MONO PRINT TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK. THIS COVER HAS THE STEREO STICKER MISSING SO SHOWS MONO, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE STEREO STICKER WAS. JUST WANTED TO POINT THIS OUT, AS IT IS THE ORIGINAL COVER, THANK YOU !!!! THE COVER IS SOLID, BUT THERE IS LIGHT RUB ALONG THE MIDDLE OF THE SPINE AND ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR WRITING. THERE IS ALSO SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUB TO THE FRONT AND BACK ( PLEASE SEE PHOTOS ) INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NO ISSUES, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .
VINYL :: THIS PLAYS AMAZING, AND VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS JUST AS IMPRESSIVE, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES . THE AUDIO PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS WITH JUST A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1 . WHILE ON SIDE 2 JUST A FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 5....AND THAT'S ALL, AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC. I THINK THIS IS THE BEST SIR ELTON JOHN ALBUM EVER !!!! SO WITH NOTHING ELSE TO MENTION, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO, A VERY EASY  :: EX+/NEAR MINT . BUT NEARER NEAR MINT !!!!
LABELS ::  AGAIN NO ISSUES  :: EX+ .
ORIGINAL INNER ::  THERE IS NO WRITING, AND ONLY A VERY TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. 'MADE IN ENGLAND' AND 'PATENT APPLIED FOR', AND JUST A BIT OF AGEING AROUND THE EDGES  :: VG .
BRILLIANT DEBUT ALBUM, AND AS I SAID I THINK IT IS HIS BEST ALBUM, AS IT IS MORE RAW ELTON JOHN, AND EVEN BEFORE HE BECAME A SIR, HA HA !!!! THE AUDIO WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. THE COVER IS SOLID BUT HAS RUB WHICH MAKES IT LOOK A BIT SCRUFFY, BUT AUDIO WISE IT IS AMAZING !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE.
