Tracklisting & More Information

Condition
The sleeve is one of three different first issue variants. The front opening of the gatefold cover for this copy is sealed with the two sides glued together.
"Printed and made by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd." in blue text appears in the inside lower left corner, and does have the hype sticker on the front.

Considering it was never laminated, the sleeve remains in nice shape. There is a fair degree of scuffing & a few indentation marks from storage but it remains fully intact & the famed Hipgnosis prism design has lost none of its impact.

Both posters are in nice shape with very little signs use, obviously stored in the sleeve from new.

The labels show spindle marks around the centre hole to indicate a fair amount of play, as well it might for such a classic record. The solid prism labels are unblemished with no writing or tears.

The matrices in the dead wax read: A2/B2

The vinyl itself has been professionally cleaned. The disc has obviously been played a number of times & there are mild paper scuffs & the odd minor scratch but with little lessening in sound quality compared to a mint one.

The warmth of the vinyl shines through, despite a little evident surface background. Let's not forget, this is a TAS listed audiophile recommendation. A 'good' copy of this first issue will still blow any reissue firmly out the water.

Overall an acceptable copy of their masterpiece & now a very sought after pressing. These first issues do not come up for sale often, certainly not as often as we'd like!
