Pictures Of Matchstick Men

This is the first pressing of a very rare First album that The Status Quo made.

This is not a later edition as the US and Australian versions were circa 1970.

Vinyl: The vinyl is in excellent condition with a little spindle wear and very light marks from sliding in / out of sleeve which are hard to see.

In my opinion it is in unbelievable condition for a record of 41 years of age !!!!!

The record has been passed down from my Father the original owner.

Sleeve: As you can see from the photos the sleeve for it's age is excellent with just a few laminate creases, the spine is in excellent condition with a little wear at the ends.

No splits or tares and very rich in colour.

Inner sleeve: This is in very good condition with just light creases and slight fading from age.

This is a very rare 1st pressing of which you will be hard pressed to find better at 41 years old.

Please message me for further information or any questions you may have.
