All my records are professionally packed before posting or shipping.

Incredible Mint copy of Elton John’s classic 1972 album.
This beautifully produced 1972 pressing comes in a fully textured gatefold ‘mock leather’ sleeve with a tuck-in envelope/wallet flap to the back of the sleeve.
On the front the titles are embossed above a glued-on sepia tone textured photo of Elton John.
This beautiful sleeve is in Near to Mint condition.
There are so many attractive elements to this sleeve and therefore so many potential areas of wear or damage. However, this copy retains a stunning vibrancy and it is incredible to think that it is nearly 50 years old.
The original inner sleeve is a white poly-lined generic inner.
The vinyl itself is translucent and appears a dark red colour when held to the light (see photo). It is pressed on heavy vinyl and is Mint. This copy appears unplayed - an absolutely immaculate copy. I carefully listened to ‘Rocket Man’ and the playback is phenomenal with not a sound to be heard in the background. Really impressive clarity.
Overall a classic original pressing in unbelievable condition.
