Description

The Wailers Catch A Fire ILPS 9241 UK First Pressing Zippo Lighter Cover.

The label is the original pink rim version and is in mint condition.  

The matrix numbers are :  Side one - ILPS 9241 A-3 U and Side 2 ILPS 9241 B-4U  

The first 20,000 copies of this original vinyl album released on the 13th April 1973 were designed by graphic artists Rod Dyer and Bob Weiner. The record is encased in an outer sleeve depicting a Zippo lighter. The sleeve functions like a flip top Zippo lighter case, opening at a side hinge to reveal the record within.

The cover  is in excellent condition considering it is 48 years old with only a  minor amount of wear along the edges.( Please see photographs) The hinge is perfectly intact and works fine.

The inner sleeve is the original black Island Records version which came with the first pressing. 

The vinyl is in excellent condition with a few minor superficial  surface marks.  It plays beautifully with no audio issues.    

  

The matrix numbers of this 1st pressing copy are ILPS 9241 A-3U and ILPS 9241 B-4U The vinyl also has the very first matrix numbers previously allocated for this pressing BML 2001 crossed out in the dead wax.
