Description
This release is the version with the rough or textured labels pressed by Orlake. This has the characteristic raised rim around the edge of the label.
This appears to be Variant 1 - with matrix ending in a reversed C instead of number on both sides
Released on a pink Island label with black ''block'' logo, in a fold-out cover.
'Day Is Done' & 'Way To Blue' track listing is reversed on cover. Label is corrected and album plays 'Way to Blue' followed by 'Day is Done'.
The condition is
Vinyl itself looks great , no scratches or marks. Does have some age marks that will clean if you have a good professional cleaner . This could easily grade EX+ if cleaned well , as it stands I'm going to grade EX- as I don't have a good enough cleaner to run this through.
Inner is original but does have some browning . No rips though , so gets a VG+
Gatefold sleeve has odd little mark , odd tiny crease but is generally pretty good , spine is readable. So grading at a VG+ but I think some would grade higher.
So all in a very rare record in a great condition
