Cover

The majority of the covers for this album were produced in Germany but this one has the much rarer UK produced EJ DAY sleeve. The laminated rotating wheel cover which so often turns up with the wheel loose or even worse damaged where people have played with them is in EXCELLENT+ condition with NO rips NO tears, and NO writing. The laminate gatefold cover is in SUPERB condition bar some yellowing which is mainly to the edges, the spine is still strong, there are approx 3 creases in the laminate but these are hardly noticeable. The inner gatefold again is in STUNNING condition as with no marks anywhere just some very mild yellowing to the edges BUT THAT’S IT !!!, the credits are on the right hand side which signifies this as being one of the earliest and rarest releases. Graded EX+

Vinyl

The original Red and Plum Atlantic Deluxe labels are in SUPERB condition and show virtually no sign of being played, they also have the SUPER RARE Peter Grant Credit (see scan) The heavy thick glossy black vinyl still retains its just pressed looks SUPERB, under bright white light all that is visible is a handful of the faintest paper marks, this really is a GEM and one of the best I have seen in a long while. As usual it has been play graded to ensure that the correct grading is given. It plays faultlessly throughout with No skips No Jumps. The run in grooves are virtually silent and the rest of the album plays with astounding and mind blowing clarity, it really is just these first press plum copies that play this SUPERB, this has to be graded EX+/Nr MINT

Copies of this LP are becoming scarce and a superb copy like this in overall EX/EX+++ MINT conditions are few and far between.

Why not take a look at some of my other auctions; most of the albums I sell

are in EX/Nr Mint condition

POSTAGE & PAYMENT INFORMATION

I do not make profit on my postage & packaging prices, everything is sent out in professional record mailers or mailer boxes where necessary. All album sleeves are sent in new plastic covers, and the vinyl is taken out of the sleeve and housed in a new poly-lined paper inner, all this is to ensure that you receive the album in the same condition that it left me.

ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE IN STERLING
