Description

Hi, my name is Brian and I have been buying and selling vinyl on ebay for many years and enjoy enviable feedback from many succesful sales from very happy buyers. I will always give very honest and accurate descriptions with plenty of quality pictures. If for any reason you are not happy with the item you get, I will give a full refund including ALL postage so long as the item is returned in the condition it left me.

I do use the UK record collector grading scale with the odd + or - where justified.
I am very happy to answer any questions and send futher photographs if you wish.
I will only post valuable and rare albums insured and signed for.
I will post anywhere in the world insured and signed for.
The international and UK postal charge is only an estimation, actual costs will depend on destination and value. PLEASE wait for an invoice before paying. THANKYOU.

I use 2 card stiffeners + bubble wrap in a cruciform box with strengthened corners where needed.

VINYL...........Original very 1st pressing on heavy vinyl. Very shiny deep black luster with very, very light hair line marks that cause almost no noise in the playback (quietest parts and in between tracks). You can see in the close picture of side 1 that there is a surface mark at the beginning of the album that was caused by heat or chemical reaction. Probably chemical as there is no warp which heat would have caused. This does not cause any jumps/skips but it does cause a noise on each rotation of the vinyl, it continues for 38 seconds during the "helicopter and siren" noises and stops as the real music starts. Apart from that both sides have superb quality playback with no deteriation to the original high quality deep and full sound.VG++, EX+.

CONCLUSION......Super rare, very 1st press, great album, quality sound play back, in very collectable condition.

                                        GOOD LUCK BIDDING, Brian.
