Description

This is a stunning UK original first pressing of the 'Pawn Hearts' LP on the Pink Scroll Charisma label.

Charisma CAS 1051

A-1U / B-1U matrix numbers

Original pink Charisma 'scroll' labels with B&C Records credits - The record is in near mint condition. Side B has 4 light, small spindle marks; side A has no spindle marks at all. The vinyl is bright and clean, and has no visible scratches on it at all - visually perfect. It has been played only a few times (on a Linn Sondek based system) since bought new. Good thick original vinyl in as close to true unplayed / mint condition as you could ever hope to find after 25 years! I would class it as nearly mint (not mint in view of the spindle marks).

Original E.J. Day gatefold sleeve with B&C Records credits to the inside. The printing rubs off very easily and they are extremely prone to wear. This one is nearly in mint condition. This is a really fantastic clean and straight example with no splits, rips, tears, sticker marks. The spine, bottom edges and front and rear cover have a couple of light rubs but are otherwise perfect, and the sleeve has a light crease on the front cover and two light creases on the rear.

This copy comes with the original lyric / illustration insert which was only included in the very first pressing. This insert was received folded when originally bought new and has been kept this way ever since.

A really lovely UK original first pressing. You won't see many more like this!
