(?PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW) (Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you'll get. GUARANTEED!) Track listing: 1. Bucket T 2. I'm A Boy 3. Pictures Of Lily 4. Doctor! Doctor! 5. I Can See For Miles 6. Substitute 7. Happy Jack 8. The Last Time 9. In The City 10. Call Me Lightning 11. Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand 12. Dogs · CONDITION: · RECORD (a) THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY, PERFECTLY MINT, as if never played before. The original luster is totally intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles like brand new. The labels look perfect, simply gorgeous, with absolutely no trace of wear around the spindle hole. The record is TOTAL PERFECTION! We are confident that, in this condition, the record we present here is truly once-in-a-lifetime find. (b) The record comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years! (c) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. (d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!! (e) This is a mono fild down. Mono pressing of this title is much rarer. We estimate that stereo copies of this album outnumber mono pressings by a ratio of at least 10:1. (f) US copies of this album DO NOT EXIST (the album was never released in the States) · COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER): THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++). The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover: - Cover has some ring wear (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY; NONE ON THE FRONT COVER) ; On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 5. - Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine - Cover has a visible "wrinkle"(crease) in one of the corners.
