Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. I never ever use 'MINT' unless I have play tested the album and it is as new or it is sealed. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, excluding postage, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

I am happy to post any where in the world, but only if the buyer is willing to pay for it to be fully insured and tracked in some way. I only use cruciform mailers with double stiffeners and 'bubble wrap'.

This item is extremely rare and valuable, therefore I will only post it out fully insured and recorded delivery/signed for.

SLEEVE.........NON-GATEFOLD and FRONT LAMINATED. It is in GREAT condition showing light wear.   It is very flat and square. The bottom edge is MINT. The top edge is also in MINT condition with NO wear. The front is EX with NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS  AND NO STAINING and LIGHT SURFACE RUB and LIGHT EDGE CREASES and A LITTLE LAMINATE LIFT TO THE SPINE EDGE. The rear  is in the same EX condition a little light creasing and evidence of a  round sticker removal. The opening edges  are in lovely condition with no tears and only very light feathering. The spine shows light wear and is fully legible. The tips of the corners show very light wear. All in all this is in wonderful condition for a sleeve of this age. EX

DISK LABELS.....There is NO unwanted writing, staining, stickers, residue or tears. there are very light spindle mark on each side. EX / EX.

VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see very faint surface hair lines which are very light and caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve and a couple of  very light superficial marks not affecting the sound, there are no nasty deep scratches or mark. In normal daylight this album looks PRISTINE. Both sides play WITHOUT DISTORTION or JUMPS. Side 1 plays through without any problems, Side 2 has some light 'ticks' in the last two tracks, otherwise superb. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all. There are dust crackles, they can be heard only in the track separation areas and the run in and run out parts. This really is a great copy in great condition that any collector or investor would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER.  EX/ EX(-) There is a little very light foxing to the insert. Original MONO inner bag with no writing, damage or splits.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GENESIS FAN AND HAVE AMASSED A LARGE COLLECTION OF THE BANDS AND SOLO MEMBERS MATERIAL, BUT THIS WAS THE HARDEST TO FIND, SO VERY RARE AND SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE BANDS HISTORY. I ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS MIX OF THE MUSIC IS AVAILABLE IN ANY OTHER FORMAT OR PRESSING. SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS ALBUM / PRESSING...YOU DON'T HAVE THE BANDS FIRST MUSIC..

A GREAT ALBUM AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION,

DO NOT MISS THIS, IT COULD BE YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE.
