FIRE AND WATER
1970 UK PINK ISLAND STEREO ILPS. 9120
A1 - B1
Rare original A1-B1 uk pink island first pressing of Free's superb third uk prog blues-Rock album. The thick heavy vinyl is in really superb very clean condition with a excellent original sheen, there are just a couple of very light non sounding wispy top surface marks otherwise the vinyl looks brilliant. All tracks play excellent throughout with a very nice clear sound quality. The pink island labels are just about perfect and the non-laminated MacNeill press single card sleeve has a small hard to spot sticker tear on the back but is otherwise in excellent clean and tidy condition.
POSTING/SHIPPING
The vinyl and inner sleeve will be removed from the outer cover and then placed inside a brand new thick plastic cover with card support, it will then be sent very well packed in a brand new great quality professional record mailer with extra card stiffeners. This album will reach you in the same condition as advertised.
THICK STEREO VINYL = EX+
The thick first press stereo vinyl is really clean with a brilliant original sheen, this album looks very close to mint, there are just two or three very light wispy top surface marks that have no affect on play otherwise the vinyl is stunning. All tracks play with a excellent clean and clear sound quality throughout that is free of loud clicks and pops or annoying loud crackle, there is just some very occasional extremely low level background hiss/crackle but this is barely even worth mentioning. This is a superb barely played copy that will not disappoint in any way.
PINK ISLAND LABELS = NM
Both labels are in near mint very clean condition with a few light spindle traces due to careful play. There are no other marks or wear.
SINGLE MATT CARD COVER = VG++
The single card sleeve was made and printed in the uk by MacNeill press Ltd. The front is excellent with very minimal traces of wear and marking and there is also a light crease to the top right corner. The back is superb apart from a small sticker tear near the bottom at the opening edge, this is only small and at first glance could easily be missed as the small white patch seems to blend in with the pattern at the bottom of the sleeve. There are some minute areas of shelf wear along the top and bottom edges but the edges are still in great condition. The top and bottom pinched spine is in really nice shape with all text very clear and easy to read. This cover looks great and would grade excellent if not for the small sticker tear on the back. The original poly-lined inner has a small amount of blue biro but is otherwise in excellent clean condition.
