Released in 1973 on the EPIC label, I am offering today this rare original first UK pressing of this debut rock classic album by US four piece SPACE OPERA. The album is simply titled "SPACE OPERA". The vinyl is in barely played condition showing no scratches or scuffs etc one of the best vinyls you are likely to find.

The album comes complete with its original Unipak matt gatefold sleeve which is very good, clean with no splits or unwanted writing etc but shows some shelf wear and has a sticker removal residue on the front and an original shop sticker on the inner gate  but otherwise fine with fully legible spine overall a clean example.

The VINYL, The Vinyl visually looks barely played. 

The SLEEVE, The gatefold sleeve is in reasonably clean condition. There is a sticker removal residue on the front and a sticker on the inner gate otherwise there are no splits or unwanted writing etc. 

The LABELS, The original 1st issue yellow EPIC labels are very clean, showing virtually no spindle traces. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc.

The INNER, The original company inner sleeve is clean and free from unwanted writing, stickers or splits etc.

I always aim to be as accurate as possible with my grading. If in doubt, I tend to err on the side of caution - believing it better

 to have a customer who is pleasantly surprised than a customer who is mildly disappointed. As a collector myself, I know 

how annoying and frustrating it is to discover a seller was over generous in their description of an item.

I won't insult your intelligence by writing out song lyrics. Nor will I include a detailed synopsis (pasted verbatim from 

Wikipedia) about the band and how they met. I will, however, always include photographs that highlight any flaws I have 

described. Nothing will be a surprise. If, after all this, you feel the item is not what you expected, for whatever reason, I am 

happy to refund you in full providing the item is returned to me in a timely fashion in the same condition it left me. Return 

postage will be covered by the buyer. 


SYSTEM USED: DUE TO THE LACK OF TIME NOT ALL RECORDS CAN BE PLAY TESTED BUT THOSE THAT ARE,  ARE 

PLAY TESTED ON A LINN AXIS THROUGH A MUSIC FIDELITY AMP. 

ALL ITEMS COME FROM A SMOKE AND PET FREE HOME.
