A Very Rare Record. The record is in excellent condition, on the ISLAND Label. The labels are the original Island PINK with the White "i" Logo. Both sides show little signs of any spindle marking and there is no wear to the centre hole. (See photos.)
The Vinyl is excellent and very clean, and has a great vinyl sheen. The surface of the record is excellent, some very light surface marks and scuffs, mainly only noticable strong light, which is only to be expected ot this age. Plays extremely well, if very critical some very minor and only very slight background hiss detected but limited only to the lead ins to each side where needle has dropped, and as is very typical with this record, noticable on the quieter tracks. The record has been played of course, and record plays through very well. Overall gives an excellent sound quality. Lovely Nice Rich High Gloss Deep Black Vinyl and Classic Stereo sound. All round very good record.
The centre labels are in good order, nice pink labels, free from dirty marks, unwanted stickers and writing. Nice rich pink with white i.
The Gatefold Sleeve is in very good condition. This is the very early sturdy card sleeve which has a non laminated Island First Issue Cover which was succeptable to wear and heavy staining. There are No creases, unwanted stickers or rips on the sleeve, some slight wear to corners and slight storage wear to edges. The outer opening edges are sharp and intact and in very good order with only minor edge wear, slight wear to corners. The spine is rigid and the text on the spine is intact, minimal very light wear to spine top and bottom edges. First Pressing E.J. day of London Sleeve.
Inner Gatefold excellent, Inner Booklet is crease free and all the edges are extremely sharp and free from any wear. Overall an excellent example of this very rare classic record sleeve.
Record comes complete with the Very Rare Original Lialac Thick Paper Inner Sleeve which is in exceptionally excellent condition.
Record will be posted in fully protective packaging.
