This is not a concept E.P. it's an enigma
All complaints:- Terry Mason
Numerous counterfeit editions of this release exist. Only the original has serrated vinyl around the label and different contours on the label.
VINYL VG+ has a mild warp, tried to show the profile in photo (nothing drastic) Barely played and has a nice sheen with no obvious flaws other than that stated. Would be grading it higher if it was not for the warp. SLEEVE EXC- some minor wear and light creasing (photos). LABELS VG++ bit of spidering near spindle hole.
