I purchased this album in London in 1979, played a handful of times and then put away in secure storage for well over 30 years. This is an original, UK Sire label pressing in excellent condition. Cover sleeve is in excellent condition. No bends, no creases, slight ringwear, no spine wear. Label is clean with no marks.Condition of vinyl is excellent with no visible scratches, scuffs or marks.  You’d be hard pressed to find an original copy in better condition than this. Nice clean copy. You won't be disappointed. See photo for track listing.

These records come from my personal collection. They have all been extremely well cared for over the years since I bought them, and they come from a pet and smoke free environment. I will be listing a number of my treasured records, ranging from punk to glam to classic rock to Australian to hard rock / heavy metal and everything in between, over the coming months.
