Earliest 1st Pressing Matrices
This is the earliest possible release of Jethro Tull's very first album. The Mono pressings are incredibly rare and much rarer than Stereo pressings which sold better than Mono versions at the time.
Cover: This is the 1st pressing gatefold laminated outer cover and unlaminated inner. In stunning Excellent+ condition for its age. No writings/doodles or seam splits. No laminate lift. No damage to internal flip-backs. The slighest touch of wear to corners/edges/spine only and light crease inside the gatefold. Comes in a plain white paper non-poly lined inner sleeve - Near Mint.
Labels: Textured first pressing labels - Excellent+.
Vinyl: Thick heavy duty 1st pressing. Side A looks in Good condition only - a feelable scratch on track 1. Side B looks to be Good+ to VG(-). Both sides have a lot of feathering and light hairlines. Will have background noise.
