Original UK Vertigo LP, 1st-pressing. I sell this item on behalf of a good friend of mine who found this LP (2nd hand) in 1980 in a local store, he played it only once (he more likes Glam-Rock). I'm pretty sure my friend is the 2nd owner of this great rarity!
The vinyl was cleaned with a record vacuum cleaning machine and I played it through twice at a medium to high volume. The vinyl looks visually EX+ (near mint) and it plays very well. Only on the swirl side, at the very beginning, before the strings start we can hear some light/medium crackling. Apart of it the vinyl plays near mint with no pops or tics. Only in a very few passages there's some very decent background noise and/or ultra light crackling. I would say it makes only sense to update this copy with an never played stock copy!
The textured cover is in a very solid shape with two small splits at the open side (see photo) and a small price tag below the Vertigo symbol on the front (see photo). On the back the label number is written twice plus a "32" on the head (see photo). Light/medium shelf wear on the seams. The plane inner side of the cover got yellowing (as well as the inner sleeve), see photo. I grade the cover with vg++
The labels are as you can see on the photo. The first owner corrected some information on the labels, and it's true that side A & B where mashed up (this is easy to recognize when we listen to the LP).
Because I know that there are bootleg copies of this LP I researched very well on it, and I'm happy to let you know that the sampers etc. are all correct. 100 % original copy!!!

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Grading of my items are very strict (please check out the feedback), I use a very strong light not to overlook anything - I want you to be happy with your purchase.
Mint: Vinyl and cover are in 100 % perfect condition.
M-: Vinyl and cover are “as new” (maybe vinyl has 1 – 3 ultra light hairlines which are only detectable under a very bright light and do not affect!!!, maybe virtually perfect).
EX+: Vinyl and cover are almost “as new”, cover appears in great shape – vinyl plays perfect (vinyl has maybe a few hairlines from removing the vinyl out of the inner-sleeve) – great collector’s copy!!
EX: Vinyl has some hairlines or is optically not as EX+ with maybe a light scuff but no scratches, vinyl should play very well to perfect with no pops etc. just virtually (under the halogen bulb!) not mint. Cover has light wear, appears still nice.
VG++: The vinyl has an amount of hairlines and/or some light scratches without deep-marks. If it’s a “loud” record it will still sound almost mint…. A still acceptable shape which does fit well for DJ use and home-listening. The cover has maybe a price tag, small splits or ring-wear… it’s still ok but a little used.
VG+. The vinyl has maybe an amount of hairlines and/or some light-scratches or a few not too long and not very deep needle-scratches… will maybe play with some crackling in lower parts and/or with some pops could. Cover has combination of price-tag, some writing, ring-wear or another one. Used condition.
VG: The vinyl is very used with many scratches as well as deep-marks, very used condition. Cover has maybe complete top and bottom-seam-split. Only worth to buy if really rare….
