SEX PISTOLS THE GREAT ROCK N ROLL SWINDLE 23 TRACK UK 1ST PRESS LP VD2510 INSERT

	£		42
	$		56

This is an early original pressing of the album. Red text on spine and stickers front and back. Front sticker states 21 tracks. 22 tracks listed on inside. But there are actually 23 (see below).
There is some wear to sleeve, which should be assessed in my photos. Some spine wear, and the sleeve is a little wavy. 
It is a lightly played record, but with a few light marks and a visible scratch on side 4.
I have not yet play tested all four sides yet, but sides one and two play well, some light background noise and a few clicks. 
The scratch across tracks D1/D2, is noticeable and so I have played this and it is not too intrusive, and certainly does not skip. Light click only, really not intrusive, but I have to highlight it. Played on a RP3 with Grado Black cartridge. 

THIS PRESSING IS A5/B4 - C3/D4  'Tone'
